5 [Giving service in the field of English education professionally for the
English learning organizers and the training of ability of English to society as implementation of humanistic education to develop the
society]
Wilson 2010 states that entrepreneurship requires being enterprising in the particular context
– where innovative new products andor services are produced. Based on the mission above, it is clear that one of the missions is to
give service in the education field for society. Therefore, it shows the relation between the vision and mission of ELESP clearly with entrepreneurship since it
shows the word ‘service’ where it relates to entrepreneurship skill. Based on the vision and mission of the study program, it is tangible that the study program also
treats the students to obtain the knowledge of entrepreneurship. Neck and Greene 2011 provides the reality of entrepreneurs nowadays. According to Neck and
Greene 2011, entrepreneurship is complex, chaotic, and lacks any notion of linearity. Therefore, they emphasize that educators should have the responsibility
to develop the discovery, reasoning, and implementation skills of students so they may excel in highly uncertain environments. These skills enhance the likelihood
that students will identify and capture the right opportunity at the right time for the right reason. Therefore, in this research, the researcher tries to dig up how far
the knowledge of entrepreneurship which is shared in SPD course can be useful for those students who have joined that course. Moreover, in this research the
researcher wants to know how far the experiences of learning in SPD class bring enjoyable atmosphere across the period. Furthermore, how the students suffer
during SPD class and how their suffering can change into happiness. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

B. Research Problems
This research focuses on discussing two research problems: 1.
To what extent did ELESP students obtain the knowledge of Entrepreneurship through Service Program Design SPD Class?
2. To what extent did the experiences of learning in SPD class bring
enjoyable atmosphere across the period?
C. Problem Limitation
The restrictions on the problems in this research are focused on analyzing how far the ELESP students who have joined SPD course acquire the knowledge
of entrepreneurship through SPD course, how they are trained to have strong characteristics to help them be ready to fight in any situation, and how the
experiences of learning in SPD bring enjoyable atmosphere.
D. Research Objectives
This research is aimed to know how far ELESP students of the seventh and the eighth semester learn about the entrepreneurship in SPD class. In a

E. Research Benefits
The study would be beneficial for some parties. The researcher expects that this study gives benefits for the researcher, ELESP students, ELESP and the

For the researcher This study can help the researcher to know how far ELESP students who
have joined SPD class obtain the entrepreneurship knowledge from the course. 2.
For English Language Study Program ELESP students This study can help students to understand better about entrepreneurship
since not all of students would be teachers in the future. Therefore, students would join and be more active in learning entrepreneurship.
3. For English Language Education Study Program ELESP
This study can be used for measuring whether one of the courses, SPD, in the study program has been good enough in improving
students’ entrepreneurship knowledge or not.
4. For future researchers
This study can be used to conduct other researches related to Service Program Design SPD course and entrepreneurship.
F. Definition of Terms
There are some terms which need to be explained more in order to provide the same understanding for the readers. The terms related to this study are:
8 1.
Service Program Design Service Program Design is one of the courses in ELESP of Sanata
Dharma. Service Program Design SPD course KPE 477 assists students to build up and develop their entrepreneurship skills, such as abilities to be an
excellent team memberplayer and to communicate with others clearly and effectively. According to Sanata Dharma, SPD aims to introduce entrepreneurship
to students. The students are trained to be independent and responsible people. The students learn how to design a training service program, to offer the program
to institutionscompanies and to implement the program as cited in Association of Christian Universities and Colleges in Asia ACUCA, 2011, p. 3. In this
study, SPD is employed to be a place for the researcher to see how the students experienced many kinds of experiences which were related to entrepreneurship in
English Language Education Study Program ELESP. 2.
The Knowledge of Entrepreneurship Baron 2012 believes that entrepreneurship knowledge is related to
human capacities. The human capacities are creativity, ingenuity, knowledge, and skills. In this study, the human capacities are employed to see whether the
students have already obtained those human capacities through their experiences when joining SPD or not.
3. Experiencing-self vs Remembering self
Kahneman and Riis 2005 state that there are two human selves in every person. Those selves are experiencing-self and remembering-self. However, the
experiencing-self deals with the time of events while the remembering-self deals PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
9 with the score for the events. According to Kahneman and Riis, human beings are
story tellers. Therefore, they emphasize that when we are asked how good was the vacation, it is not an experiencing-self that answers but it is a remembering-
self that answer. The remembering-self keeps score and maintains records. In this study, the students used remembering self as the medium to give score to the
enjoyable atmosphere in SPD across the period. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

Entrepreneurship
The term ‘entrepreneur’ is derived from the French word “entreprendre”
which means “to undertake” Burch, 1986. In this sense, entrepreneurs are the ones who undertake a new business ventures to generate value Hisrich, Peters,
Shepherd, 2005. They are often compared to Olympic athletes challenging themselves to break new barriers; to long distance runners dealing with pain and
agony; to symphony orchestra conductors who balance different skills, sounds and people; or to top-gun pilots who dare to push the envelope of speed Kuratko
Hodgetts, 2004. Entrepreneurship is the word that has an almost mystical ring. For many persons, it triggers mental images of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark
Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Larry Page - along with vivid thoughts of the huge fame and fast wealth these famous entrepreneurs have reaped from their efforts.
