45 characteristics. Furthermore, the statement above also proves that the students
were trained to know their abilities and then improving them to be better and better.
d. Open-mindedness
Every ELESP student needs to be open-minded in order to obtain much knowledge. Resnick 2014 states that everyone needs to think of her or himself as
the zeroed in something in order to get feeling to learn from others. In SPD, each student was trained to be an open-minded person. Therefore, it gave the chance
for students to obtain new knowledge. ELESP aims to prepare professional English teachers; however, by providing the SPD course, it shows that ELESP
also trains its students to be open-minded. Consequently, the ELESP students also learn about the knowledge of entrepreneurship through SPD. Based on the survey
data, it showed that 96 students provided the same statement that they learned the knowledge of entrepreneurship in SPD. The calculation of percentage can be
seen below: X ÷ n 100
48 ÷ 50 100 = 96 X = the students who has the same statement
N = the numbers of students that have been chosen
e. Sponge like-nature
Most ELESP students of Batch 2012 had already joined SPD. During joining SPD, every student had experienced many different activities. Each
student was demanded to be able to adapt in every activity quickly. Therefore, the PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
46 students needed to be alert to all the things around them. Moreover, the students
were also demanded to be able to face every activity in SPD class. According to Resnick 2014, being an entrepreneur involves a learning process. If you’re not
willing to learn, think about leaving the start-up world. We need to be able to soak in everything and anything we can, just like a sponge. The more we learn, the
better we will be. The ELESP students also were trained to be able to adapt in the learning process. Moreover, they were trained to build a habit to learn many new
things. For example the person A’s statements: Kita juga diajarkan tentang first impression. Jadi kita tahu
bagaimana cara membangun first impression yang yang benar. Di SPD tuh kita dilatih untuk membangun first impression yang baik.
Jadi di sana itu kita lebih mempraktekan hal-hal yang kita pelajari. Jadi itu bukan teori aja.
[We learned about first impression. Consequently, we knew how to build first impression well. Basically, in SPD, we are trained to
build first impression well. So, in that class, we practiced the things that we had learned. Therefore, we did not only learn about the
knowledge but we practiced them.]
Person A ’s statement shows the process of learning in SPD class. The researcher
finds an interesting thing there where the ELESP students were demanded to practice the knowledge that they had gotten. Therefore, it proves that the ELESP
students we re also trained to be ‘sponge like nature’. Moreover, the statement also
shows how the students in SPD had to be able to adapt in many activities there. It also shows the way the students learned the new knowledge like sponge in which
they adapted to the situation to practice the knowledge that they had learned. According to Resnick 2014, an entrepreneur needs to be able to soak in
everything and anything heshe can, just like a sponge. Looking at the person A’s
47 statement, it is tangible that the ELESP students in SPD were trained to be able to
soak all the knowledge by practicing them.
3. Perceived Growths in Relation to the Change of Emotion Across the
Period
The ELESP students of Batch 2012 experienced the change of emotion across period of joining SPD. The change of emotion was related to happiness.
However, the happiness cannot be measured since there is no exact instrument for it. Due to that case, the researcher uses satisfaction as the medium to see how far
the ELESP students enjoyed the process of learning in SPD. Here is the statics that shows the satisfaction of the students.
Fig. 4.1 Diagram of the change of satisfaction across period
Based on the data above, it shows the change of the students’ satisfaction
in SPD class. Basically, each student had similar or different changes of satisfaction. Kahneman and Riis 2005 believe that human beings have two
selves. They are experiencing-self and remembering-self. Kahneman and Riis also give an examples which is related to experience; when we are asked how good
was the vacation, it is not an experiencing-self that answers, but a remembering Before
