37 [Related to the last problem, it was about my creativity skill, I tried to
learn from friends to make artwork so then I became a creative person]
Person D Berhubungan dengan masalah artwork, langkah yang saya lakukan
adalah saya mencari informasi dan juga belajar dari orang lain. [Related to artwork problem, the way out that I had taken was I looked for
the information related to making an artwork and also I learned from other people].
These two statements show that person C and person D tried to solve their
problems by learning from other friends. When the researcher looked at the statement of person C, the researcher found that Person C admitted that after
learning from other people she became more creative. Based on this statement, the researcher saw that the ELESP students improved their creativity skills through
SPD class.
b. Ingenuity
According to Homar-Dixon 2003, ingenuity consists of sets of instructions that tell us how to arrange the constituent parts of our physical and
social worlds in ways that help us achieve our goals. Furthermore, ingenuity is the quality of being clever, original, and inventive, often in the process of applying
ideas to solve problems or meet challenges. Moreover, when we look at students’ experiences, we can find that most of them are ingenuity dealing with solving the
problems. We can see it from the statements from some participants dealing with finding the way out when solving the problems. For example, we can see from the
problem which was faced by person D. Person D considered artwork as a problem. Person D realized that he didn’t have any sense of creativity, so it made
38 him confused when working on that task. Basically, Person D got rumors that for
those who made the worst artwork would be kicked out. Person D
Masalah yang kedua itu berhubungan dengan tugasnya, lebih khususnya tugas artworknya di mana saya basicnya bukan orang seni, singga saya
merasa kebingungan dalam membuat artworknya, sedangkan pada saat itu ada rumor bahwa bagi yang mendapat predikat terburuk akan
dikeluarkan atau di kickout dari kelas SPD. [The second problem was
related to the tasks, especially ‘artwork’ task where basically I was not a creative person. That was why, I was confused
in making the artwork. Moreover, at that time there was an issue that for those who got the worst predicate would be kicked out from SPD class]
This is one of the problems which were faced by person D. In this section, we can see the ingenuity of person D dealing with solving that problem.
Person D Berhubungan dengan masalah artwork, langkah yang saya lakukan
adalah saya mencari informasi dalam membuat sebuah artwork dan juga belajar dari orang lain yang lebih kreatif.
[Related to artwork problem, the way that I took was I looked for the information from other people to make an artwork and also I learned
from other people who were more creative.] Based on the statements above, researcher can see that person D has the
ingenuity in solving his problem. The ingenuity that he used is by learning from others.
c. Knowledge
Knowledge is a familiarity, awareness or understanding of someone or something, such as facts, information, descriptions, or skills, which is acquired
through experience or education by perceiving, discovering, or learning. Knowledge can refer to a theoretical or practical understanding of a subject.
39 The ELESP students of Batch 2012 who had joined SPD class got the
knowledge of entrepreneurship. One of activities that showed the students got the knowledge of entrepreneurship was when attending the seminar that was done in
SPD class. The speaker who spoke at that seminar is a successful entrepreneur. Therefore, the researcher asked
the ELESP students’ Batch 2012 who had joined SPD class at the seventh semester related to what they had gotten through
attending that seminar. Here are some statements, which were given by some participants of ELESP, which prove that they get knowledge of entrepreneurship:
Person A Yang saya tangkap, ada 2 point penting yang disampaikan oleh Pak
Gunawan; Leadership dan management. Leadership berkaitan dengan mengatur orang sedangkan management tuh berkaitan dengan mengatur
hal-hal, barang-barang, pokoknya yang berhubungan dengan things. [What I got from Mr
. Gunawan’s lecture; there were two important points which were told by Mr. Gunawan; they were leadership and
management. Leadership was related to manage people while management was related to manage things, goods, etc]
Person C Yang saya dengar itu, ada dua hal yang disampaikan Pak Gunawan: yang
pertama itu leadership dimana leadership itu berkaitan dengan mengatur orang dan yang kedua itu management dan itu berkaitan mengatur hal-
hal. [What I catched, there were two things which were given by Mr.
Gunawan; the first was leadership where the leadership related to the managing people and the second was management where it related to
managing things]
Person D Ada tiga point penting yang disampaikan Pak Gunawan yaitu yang
pertama berjuang dan berjuang, dan yang kedua itu kita harus mempunyai target dan harus tegas dalam mencapai target dan yang
terakhir harus mulai dari kemauan untuk suskes. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
40 [There were three important points which were told by Mr. Gunawan. The
first was struggle and struggle, the second was we had to have the target and also had to be firm dealing with reaching the target and the last was
having the willing to be successful] According to Baron 2012, knowledge is one of the capacities of human
being to be an entrepreneur. Based on those statements which are presented above, the researcher notices that the students also got the knowledge aspect
especially the knowledge to be successful entrepreneurs.
d. Skills
Baron 2012 states that a skill is one of human capacity dealing with entrepreneurship knowledge. However, there are many definitions of skill which
are given by many experts. In this section the researcher takes the definition which is stated by Howland 2013. According to Howland, a skill is the learned
ability to carry out a task with pre-determined results often within a given amount of time, energy, or both. In other words, the abilities that one possesses. Skills can
often be divided into domain general and domain-specific skills. For example, in the domain of work, some general skills would include time management,
teamwork and leadership, self-motivation and many others, whereas domain- specific skills would be useful only for a certain job. A skill usually requires
certain environmental stimuli and situations to assess the level of skill being shown and used.
The researcher sees that skills which are related to entrepreneurship were treated to students well. It could be seen through the experiences of the students.
41 For instance, student F stated that he was able to manage his time and be able to
work in group well. Person F
Banyak banget yang dipelajari di SPD, misalnya saja di SPD itu, saya bisa belajar untuk mengatur waktu. Sebelumnya saya mengalami kesulitan
dalam hal mengatur waktu, tapi setelah dilatih terus menerus di kelas SPD, saya jadi dapat mengatur waktu dengan baik. Saya juga belajar
bekerja sama dalam kelompok. [Many things were learned in SPD class, for instance, I learned to manage
my time. Before joining the class, I felt difficult in managing my time. However, after I was trained on and on in SPD class, I started to be able to
manage my time well. I also learned to work together in team ‘teamwork’]
2. The Characteristics of Entrepreneurs
In order to make better understanding in knowing how far ELESP students’ Batch 2012 got the knowledge of entrepreneurship through SPD class,
the researcher uses the ‘characteristics of entrepreneurs’ theory which is stated by
Resnick, a founder of ‘Yes Man Watches’ 2014. Therefore in this part the researcher takes five characteristics of entrepreneurs:
passion, perseverance, resourcefulness, open-mindedness and sponge like nature.
a. Passion
The ELESP students who had joined SPD class stated that the passion was one of the key when joining the class SPD. The passion could be seen on one of
their experiences especially when dealing with looking for the clients. They needed passion there since they had to spread their proposal to some intitutions
and then they had to follow-up those institutions. Almost, each group spreaded their proposal to at least 10 intitutions. After that they needed to convince every
