ABSTRACT

Sugi, V. D. M. (2016). The Attainment of Entrepreneurial Knowledge through Service Program Design Class in ELESP of Sanata Dharma University: A Phenomenological Study. English Education Study Program, Department of Language and Arts Education, Faculty of Teachers Training and Education, Yogyakarta: Sanata Dharma University.

The research discussed how far English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) students who had joined Service Program Design (SPD) course (KPE 477) obtained the knowledge of entrepreneurship. Based on the survey done to ELESP students’ Batch 2012, it showed that 96% ELESP students believed that the course built entrepreneurship skills. Therefore, this research was conducted to see the extent to which they obtained the entrepreneurship knowledge through Service Program Design class. There had not been any systematic studies on this matter.

There were two research questions to answer. They were 1) To what extent did ELESP students obtain the knowledge of Entrepreneurship through Service Program Design Class? and 2) to what extent did the experience of learning in SPD class bring enjoyable atmosphere across the period?.

The research used qualitative method. It was a phenomenological study in SPD class. To answer the first question, the data were gathered by interviewing some ELESP students who had joined SPD. Those participants were chosen purposely. To answer the second research question, the data were gathered by questionnaire. Fifty students were chosen to answer the questionnaire.

The findings of the research showed that ELESP students who had joined SPD obtained the knowledge of entrepreneurship. The knowledge of entrepreneurship could be seen through creativity, ingenuity, knowledge and skill. Furthermore, it also shows on how ELESP students obtained the knowledge of entrepreneurship through the characteristics of entrepreneurship. Those characteristics were passion, perseverance, resourcefulness, open-mindedness, and sponge-like nature. In conclusion, the ELESP students obtained much knowledge of entrepreneurship through SPD course and the knowledge of entrepreneurship brought good changes for the students. Therefore, all the activities in SPD should be maintained.

Penelitian ini mendiskusikan seberapa jauh mahasiswa Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris (PBI) yang sudah mengambil matakuliah Service Program Design (SPD) (KPE 477) memperoleh pengetahuan tentang ‘entrepreneurship’. Berdasarkan survey terhadap mahasiswa PBI angkatan 2012, menunjukan bahwa 96% mahasiswanya berpendapat sama bahwa SPD merupakan kelas yang di design untuk membentuk ketrampilan-ketrampilan di bidang ‘entrepreneurship’. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat seberapa jauh mahasiswanya memperoleh pengetahuan tentang ‘entrepreneurship’ di kelas Service Program Design karena belum ada penelitian yang sistematik terhadap hal tersebut.

Dalam penelitian ini, terdapat dua rumusan masalah 1) seberapa jauh mahasiswa PBI mendapatkan pengetahuan tentang ‘entrepreneurship’ melalui kelas Service Program Design (SPD)? dan 2) seberapa jauh pengalaman belajar mereka di SPD membawa atmosfer yang berkesan selama 1 semester?

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dalam bentuk studi fenomena di kelas SPD. Untuk menjawab rumusan masalah pertama, data yang dikumpulkan melalui wawancara terhadap beberapa mahasiswa PBI yang sudah mengikuti kelas SPD. Mahasiswa dipilih dengan metode dengan tujuan tertentu. Untuk menjawab rumusan masalah yang kedua, data yang dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner. Ada 80 mahasiswa yang dipilih untuk menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang telah dicantumkan di kuesioner tersebut.

Temuan-temuan dari penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa mahasiswa PBI yang sudah mengikuti kelas SPD mendapatkan pengetahuan tentang entrepreneurship’ secara lengkap. Pengetahuan ‘entrepreneurship’ tersebut dapat dilihat melalui dasarnya yang berkaitan dengan kreatifitas, kecerdikan, keluasan pengetahuan, dan ketrampilan. Lebih jauh lagi, hal tersebutkan ditunjukan melalui bagaimana mahasiswa PBI memperoleh pengetahuan ‘entrepreneurship’ berdasarkan karakteristiknya. Karakateristiknya adalah passion, perseverance, resourceful, open-mindedness, dan sponge-like nature. Kesimpulannya, mahasiswa PBI mendapat banyak pengetahuan ‘entrepreneurship’ di kelas SPD. Pengetahuan ‘entrepreneurship’ berdampak bagus pada perubahan dalam diri mahasiswa. Dengan demikian, bisa dikatakan semua aktifitas di kelas SPD harus dipertahankan.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

In this research, the researcher would like to dig a phenomenon which occurs in the English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) where the students obtain the knowledge of entrepreneurship through Service Program Design (SPD) course (KPE 477). This chapter is divided into six parts. The first part is background of the study, the second part is research problems, the third part is problem limitation, the fourth part is research objectives, the fifth part is research benefits and the last part is definition of terms.

A. Background of the Study

The year of 2015 marks the adoption of ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) where everyone or company in the South East Asia can enter and go marketing freely in ASEAN countries. In such a free trade scheme, everyone will compete for each other to excel and grab a market niche. Accordingly, each person tries to give their best to equip themselves with appropriate knowledge and skills to anticipate such challenges. However, not all of us have prepared ourselves to face it.

In order to be ready to face the free market, we need to improve our education. Education helps human beings to increase their skills and knowledge. In Indonesia, the government pays more attention to the education field in order to prepare us for the world that is filled with competitions. However, in fact, most


(17)

2 fresh graduates are very likely to be unprepared to compete in the real job market. They are not ready to work since the education system in our country still does not support them to improve their skills. In ELESP, students are prepared to be professional English teachers. However, not all students want to be teachers. Therefore, when they deal with working in other fields, some students cannot compete since they are not prepared to work in other fields besides education field.

Due to the case, in 1998 some ELESP lecturers started to create a course named Service Program Design (SPD) to prepare ELESP students to compete with others in the working places. One of the treatments which is conducted in SPD course is to introduce them to entrepreneurship world, where they are to learn or develop managerial skills. This claim is supported by the survey which has been done to ELESP students’ Batch 2012. Based on the data that has been collected, 96% of the students state that SPD is a class to build the characteristics of managers and entrepreneurs. Therefore, the students are trained as managers and entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship is considered as an important knowledge which is needed for the ELESP students. Consequently, students are trained with different kinds of activities to build strong characteristics of entrepreneurs.

The lecturers who teach SPD course are the experts in the field of entrepreneurship. The lecturers are Dra. Lanny Anggawati and Endang Wijayanti, M.Pd. They share knowledge related to entrepreneurship in the scope of English education to students. Therefore, students are trained well in that scope.


(18)

Based on the experiences of those who had joined the SPD course, the researcher notices that they are happy since they are able to acquire much knowledge to be prepared to face the real working world. This claim is supported

by the survey which was done to ELESP students’ Batch 2012. Based on the

survey, 98% of students are happy after joining SPD class. When an ELESP student joins the SPD course, at that moment he/she is treated as a manager or a leader. However, the treatments are not spoiling treatments. In the SPD course, all students are required to become professional in which they must be ready to struggle in all conditions.

Lobler (2006) states that in the classical business education, transferring knowledge is one of the main goals. Students should gather a broad and deep base of knowledge that they can apply to their works. In entrepreneurship education literature, it is argued that entrepreneurs have to build a sense of community. Futhermore, learning to live as a part of a community that is dispersed, asynchronous and diverse is one of the initiatives that shapes characteristics as well as knowledge. Lober (2006) believes that entrepreneurs are self-governed people who reach their goals within their community. Moreover, entrepreneurs set their own goals in an uncertain environment. Therefore, Lober (2006) emphasizes that students must be prepared to thrive in the unstructured and uncertain nature of entrepreneurial environments. A way to support these learning goals is to start early but carefully during the learning process by exposing the students to an uncertain and unstructured learning environment.


(19)

4 Based on the previous study related to entrepreneurship “A Case Study of

MARVY CORP: Student’s Perceived Growth in Relation to the Attainment of

Entrepreneurship Skills” written by Maryati (2015), the researcher notices that some ELESP students have built their own businesses. However, there is a question emerging there, what is the relationship between entrepreneurship and English Language Education Study Program (ELESP)? As explained in the previous research by Maryati (2015), actually there is a relation there between ELESP and entrepreneurship. Based on the previous research, we can see that ELESP also demands the students to get entrepreneurship knowledge. We can see it through vision and mission of ELESP in 2015. The vision of study program is:

Pada 2015 Program Studi Bahasa Inggris Sanata Dharma menjadi program unggulan dalam bidang pendidikan calon pengelola pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris yang profesional, cerdas, humanis, bermartabat, dan berkarakter yang kuat sebagai pendidik

[In 2015, English Language Education Study Program of Sanata Dharma becomes a prominent program in the field of education of English learning organizer candidates who are professional, intellectual, humanistic, dignified, and having good characteristics as educators]

Based on this vision, it is tangible that the study program focuses on preparing professional English educators with good characteristics. This vision shows that the study program applies entrepreneurship skill there since there also must be some entrepreneurship skills to be achieved on that vision. To achieve the vision, there are four missions. One of the missions of the study program is:

Memberikan pelayanan di bidang Bahasa Inggris secara profesional bagi pengelola pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris dan pelatihan ketrampilan berbahasa Inggris kepada masyarakat sebagai penerapan pendidikan yang humanis untuk memberdayakan masyarakat luas


(20)

[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 and/or 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.

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 broader way, this research is aimed to find out to what extent the knowledge of entrepreneurship which is given in SPD course is useful for the students dealing with working as entrepreneurs.


(22)

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 future researchers.

1. 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:


(23)

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 member/player 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 institutions/companies 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


(24)

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.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

In order to answer the previous set research questions and develop similar understanding concerning the matters under investigation as the first stone, this chapter focuses on discussing some related theories.

A. Theoretical Descriptions

There are some theories used in the research. They are entrepreneurship theory, characteristics of entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial leadership, and experiencing self vs remembering self.

1. 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.


(26)

Similarly, the word entrepreneurship, which most people interpret as meaning what entrepreneurs do (mainly, in the public mind, starting successful new businesses), conjures up images of heroic efforts by entrepreneurs to convert their ideas and visions to reality and so, perhaps, change the lives of countless people - and the world. Basically, the term of entrepreneurship first appeared in a significant volume about 20 years ago, and it has now reached a reasonable state of maturity.

The term 'entrepreneur' has been introduced into economic theory by Cantillon in 1759. According to Cantillon, the entrepreneurship is related to taking a risk. However, this idea is refined by the US economist Knight (1921). According to Knight, risk refers to recurrent events of which relative frequency is known from past experience, while uncertainty relates to unique events whose probability can only be subjectively estimated. Then, popular notions of entrepreneurship are based on the heroic vision that is put forward by Schumpeter (1934). The entrepreneur is visualized as an innovator who creates new industries and thereby precipitates major structural changes in economy.

Entrepreneurship is seen as a fundamentally important part of modern economic and social life. However, the definitions of entrepreneurship are dependent on whose perspective is being considered. Entrepreneurship is usually associated with the world of business. An entrepreneur is often defined as one who starts his/her own, new and small business. It can be said that not every small business is entrepreneurial or represents entrepreneurship. The context for entrepreneurship is highly differentiated. According to Wilson (2010),


(27)

12 entrepreneurship requires being enterprising in particular context - where innovative new products and/or services are produced.

There are a number of different definitions of the terms entrepreneurship and entrepreneur. Some definitions insist that all entrepreneurship must result in the founding of a new venture; other definitions allow entrepreneurship to take place within the context of an existing organization. Guth & Ginsberg (1990) provide a broad and flexible definition of corporate entrepreneurship that can be extended to include independent entrepreneurship. They state that:

The topic of corporate entrepreneurship encompasses two types of phenomena and the processes surrounding them: (1) the birth of new businesses within existing organizations, i.e. internal innovation or venturing; and (2) the transformation of organizations through renewal of the key ideas on which they are built, i.e. strategic renewal (p. 5). Add a third class of activity, i.e. “(3) the birth of new businesses formed outside the auspices of existing organizations,” and this definition adequately covers both corporate and independent entrepreneurship.

Baron (2012) provides one reason why many courses on entrepreneurship focus heavily on business models and business plans, and seem to assume that these are, and should be, the true heart of the field. Entrepreneurship usually makes its home in schools of business or management, and is viewed as being, primarily, a branch of management, where it joins other, and more established fields such as marketing, finance, and operations. However, Baron (2012) emphasizes that entrepreneurship involves something more basic. In essence, it involves the human capacities. The human capacities are creativity, ingenuity, knowledge, skills, and energy to develop something new, useful, and better than


(28)

what currently exists - and that creates some kind of value (social or economic).In other words, it occurs whenever, wherever, and however individuals take concrete action to convert their ideas and dreams into "something better” into reality -whenever and however they try to give them tangible existence in the external world.

2. Characteristics of Entrepreneurs

There are many characteristics of entrepreneurship introduced by many experts. However, we will see some characteristics of being entrepreneurs. Resnick (2014) shares five common characteristics that every entrepreneur should have:

a. Passion

Resnick (2014) emphasizes that one of the most important qualities associated with successful entrepreneurship is passion. Moreover, Resnick (2014) believes that when people feel committed to what they are doing and when they care deeply about it, they stand the best chance of being successful at it. The heart must become an ally of the mind.

b. Perseverance

According to Resnick (2014), entrepreneurs need to be able to deal with obstacles. Resnick (2014) states that a business does not get built overnight, and turning our idea into a reality; it will take time. we have to become accustomed to people saying no to us. Then, he emphasizes that what makes entrepreneurs great is having the perseverance to grow regardless of how many times they are shut down.


(29)

14 Follow-up is the key. People might present plenty of excuses for not getting back in touch with us. Yet if we show persist in trying to make things happen, we will probably succeed.

c. Resourcefulness

Another characteristic that is provided by Resnick is resourcefulness. Resnick (2014) believes that a vital ability for an entrepreneur is to know how to make the most of what we have. Resnick (2014) advises that our assets as an entrepreneur will be limited, so we have to use them to the fullest.

d. Open-Mindedness

Resnick (2014) has provided some characteristics of an entrepreneur. Furthermore, Resnick states that as an entrepreneur, we may think that we have zeroed in a business plan, then we will need to learn to take in others’ opinions. e. Sponge-like nature

The last common characteristics that are provided by Resnick (2014) is to be sponge-like nature. According to Resnick, being an entrepreneur involves a learning process. If we are not willing to learn, then we need to think about leaving the startup world. Resnick (2014) believes that every entrepreneur needs to be able to soak in everything and anything he/she can- just like a sponge. Finally, Resnick (2014) emphasizes that the more we learn, the better we are.

Furthermore, Covey (1989) states that there are seven habits of highly effective people that everyone must possess:


(30)

b. Begin with the end in mind: starting with a clear understanding of the destination and it is based on the principle that all things are created twice for leadership.

c. Put first things first: allowing to achieve self-mastery and self-discipline for management.

d. Think win-win: seeking solution that everyone can win.

e. Seek first to understand, then to be understood: listening and communicating with respect to the other person.

f. Synergize: communicating with respect and creativity, learning, gaining insight, and producing solution to problems and issues better than any originally proposed.

g. Sharpen the saw: preserving and enhancing the greatest asset owned.

Habits 1, 2, and 3 focus on self-mastery and moving from dependence to independence. Habits 4, 5, and 6 focus on developing teamwork, collaboration, communication skills, and moving from independence to interdependence. Habit 7 focuses on continuous growth and improvement and embodies all the other habits.

3. Entrepreneurial Leadership

An entrepreneurial activity is recognized as a driver of wealth creation as it leverages “innovation” and breaks the “dominant logic” of competition within an industry (Prahalad & Richard, 1986). As a driver of change and creativity, the entrepreneur is often a natural-born leader and indeed entrepreneurship is directly linked with the fundamentals of leadership (Schumpeter, 1949). Unfortunately,


(31)

16 there is a lack of continuity and depth when examining the entrepreneur as a leader: many prominent authors have directly and indirectly referred to such themes, however most of them still view the entrepreneur as a risk taker who seize opportunities and also breaks the mould through innovation and creativity (Covin & Slevin, 1989).

In contrast, the leadership literature has a wide and deep analysis of leaders and their role in an organizational context. Studies range from psychology to organizational behaviour with an emphasis on differentiating the leader from a manager (Kotter, 2001). Leaders can empower others, cope with change, manage complexity, plan for the unexpected (Kotter, 2001) and/or possess idealized influence over followers (Bass & Avolio, 1993).

The distinction between entrepreneurs and leaders is somewhat blurred. Most successful entrepreneurs view themselves as leaders because they have the vision that enables them to provide valuable output economy. The view which is presented here is that leaders are those who are particularly successful at choosing the right direction when a multitude of possibilities are presented and they also have the necessary skill to convince others. To do this, leaders tend to be generalists rather than specialists.

To understand the nature of entrepreneurial leadership, it is important to consider some of the theories of development so as to better recognize the emerging importance of entrepreneurship. The research on entrepreneurship has grown dramatically over the years. As the field has developed, research methodology has progressed from empirical surveys of entrepreneurs to more


(32)

contextual and process-oriented research. Theory of development is what drives any field of study. Entrepreneurship theory has been developing over the last 30 years and it is apparent that the field is growing. More important, we need to understand some of that development in order to appreciate the better nature of entrepreneurial leadership. Moreover, the study of the basic theories in entrepreneurship helps to form a foundation upon in which we can build an understanding of the process of entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurial leadership is organizing a group of people to achieve a common goal using proactive entrepreneurial behaviour by optimizing risk, innovating to take advantage of opportunities, taking personal responsibility and managing change within a dynamic environment for the benefit of the organization.

Entrepreneurial leadership is effectively using the skills associated with successful individual entrepreneurs and applying those within the environment of the larger organization. This especially means within an organization where those skills have been lost and replaced with a "corporate" mind-set that focuses on process, systems and risk minimization rather than entrepreneurial behaviour.

4. Experiencing Self Vs. Remembering Self

Romano (1998) states that experience is one of the most-used terms in (science) education, and it is recognized as being related to learning (education). Moreover, Romano (1998) emphasizes:

Experience, in its fundamental sense, is that which, by putting us in play ourselves, modifies us profoundly in a way that after having crossed, endured, traversed it, we will never be the same again: undergo an illness, mourning, joy, loving, traveling, writing a book,


(33)

18 painting are “experiences” in the first philosophical sense, surely simple, but nevertheless trivial (Romano; 1998, p. 197).

Experience, as treated Vygotsky (2001), is unlike the common use of the term as referring to participation in events or activities and, in the process, having certain feelings. Instead, Vygotsky (2001) emphasizes that experience is a category of thinking, a minimal unit of analysis that includes people (their intellectual, affective, and practical characteristics), their material and social environment, their transactional relations (mutual effects on each other), and affect.

Kahneman and Riis (2005, p. 285-289) provide the interesting thing related to human beings. According to Kahneman and Riis, there are two selves in human beings; these selves are experiencing-self and remembering-self. Moreover, they explain the experiencing-self can be used to tell the moment or events that happened based on the time. However, it is different from remembering-self. When we need to score the events of experiences, we need remembering-self as a medium. According to Kahneman, human being is story tellers. Due to human beings are story tellers, it needs remembering-self as the medium to recall the events. This case needs remembering-self rather than experiencing-self. Kahneman and Riis (2005) tell that every 3-second human beings have a moment. Therefore, in one day work, it is possible to have 20.000 moments. Due to that case, it is impossible for a person to tell all the moments. However, the person can tell about some moments that he or she remembers.

Kahneman and Riis’ (2005) show that the ‘experiencing-self’ deals with the time


(34)

B. Theoretical Framework

ELESP students are treated to be professional English teachers. However, not all students are possible to be teachers. Therefore, when they deal with working in other fields, some of the students could not possibly compete since they are not prepared as workers in other fields. Due to that case, some ELESP lecturers started to create a course named Service Program Design (SPD) (KPE 477) to prepare ELESP students to compete with others in working place as stated by the lecturer of SPD, Dra. Lanny Anggawati. One of the treatments which is given in SPD course is to build manager’s and entrepreneur’s characteristics within the students.

In Service Program Design (SPD) course, the lecturers give problems to students. The problems are created for the students to experience them. Therefore, the focus of this research is to answer two questions: 1) to what extent did the ELESP students obtain the knowledge of Entrepreneurship through Service Program Design Class? and 2) To what extent did the experiences of learning in SPD class bring enjoyable atmosphere across the period?

To answer the first question, the researcher uses the ‘remembering-self’ as the medium to obtain data since one of the methods is used by the researcher is interviewing method. Through this theory, the researcher can know how far the ELESP students have obtained the knowledge of Entrepreneurship through SPD Class. When someone has experienced things, he/she can remember and tell what exactly happens. The experiences here are dealing with experiencing entrepreneurship. However, there are many definitions of entrepreneurship and


(35)

20 entrepreneur. To understand the definitions of entrepreneurship and entrepreneur, it depends on whose perspective is being considered. Due to that, the researcher uses the theory which is given by Baron. Baron (2012) emphasizes that entrepreneurship involves something more basic. In essence, it involves the human capacities. Those capacities are creativity, ingenuity, knowledge, skills, and energy to develop of something new, useful, and better than currently exist - and that creates some kind of value (social or economic). Therefore, to see how far the ELESP students obtain the knowledge of Entrepreneurship through SPD, the researcher uses Baron’s perspective. Furthermore, according to Cantillon (1759), the entrepreneurship is related to taking risks. Therefore, the researcher takes those perspectives as ways to see how far the knowledge of entrepreneurship is shared in SPD class. To understand better on how the ELESP students deal with obtaining the knowledge of entrepreneurship, the researcher uses characteristics of entrepreneurship theory which is given by Resnick, a founder of ‘Yes Man

Watches’ (2014). Those characteristics are: passion, perseverance,

resourcefulness, open-mindedness and sponge like nature.

To answer the second question which is related to how far the experiences of learning in SPD class bring enjoyable atmosphere across the period, the researcher uses Kahneman and Riis’ theory. According to Kahneman and Riis (2005), for knowing people’s emotional experiences, it needs to take remembering-self as the medium since it governs the remembered scores. Based on this perspective, the researcher also includes the remembering self as the medium for seeing the change of students’ happiness especially their satisfactions


(36)

in SPD. Therefore, by using this perspective, the researcher tries to see to what extent did the SPD class bring to students joy in the class.

CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

In this chapter, the researcher discusses about the method that is used for this research. This chapter consists of six parts which are research method, research subject, research instruments and data gathering technique, data analysis technique, triangulation, and research procedure.

A. Research Method

The researcher uses qualitative research as the research method for this research. Qualitative researchers seek to understand a phenomenon by focusing on the total picture rather than breaking it down into variables. The goal is a holistic picture and depth of understanding rather than a numeric analysis of data. According to Hancock (2002), qualitative research is concerned with developing explanations of social phenomena. Therefore, it aims to help us to understand the world in which we live and why things are in the way they are. Qualitative research concerns with the social aspects of our world and seeks to answer questions about: why people behave as the way they do, how opinions and attitudes are formed, how people are affected by the events that go on around them, how and why cultures have developed in the way they have, the differences between social groups.

Hancock (2002) also emphasizes that qualitative research is concerned with the opinions, experiences and feelings of individuals producing subjective


(38)

data. Qualitative research describes social phenomena as they occur naturally. Ary, Jacobs, and Sorensen (2010) state that by using qualitative research, a researcher is able to look for the understanding of the phenomenon by emphasizing on the holistic picture. It does not rely heavily on hypothesis testing, cause and effect, and statistical data.

This research is a form of study of phenomena. According to Hancock (2002), phenomena study is a way of describing something that exists as part of the world in which we live. Phenomena may be events, situations, experiences or

concepts. The researcher’s aim to this research is to get the deep exploration of the

phenomena that happened in Service Program Design (SPD) class.

B. Research Setting

The research was conducted in Sanata Dharma University. Sanata Dharma University was chosen because this research is related to one of the courses in ELESP of Sanata Dharma, SPD. Moreover, the participants of this research were all the ELESP students that have joined SPD course. It made the researcher easier to conduct the research. Then the time for the interviewing those participants who had been chosen purposely was different. In this case, each participant was interviewed in different time in order to avoid the bias. For participant A, the interview was done on 8th of December 2015 at 08.00 am, for participant B, the interview was done on 8th of December 2015 at 16.00 pm, for participant C, the interview was done on 9th of December 2015 at 07.15 am, for participant D, the interview was done on 9th of December 2015 at 10.00 am, for participant E, the


(39)

24 interview was done on 9th of December 2015 at 16.15 pm, for participant F, the interview was done on 9th of December 2015 at 18.36 pm. The time for the questionnaire was done on 15th of April 2016 in Sanata Dharma University.

C. Research Participants

In this research the participants were the ELESP students’ Batch 2012 that had joined SPD class in their seventh semester. The participants were chosen purposely. Therefore, it was considered as purposive sampling. The researcher used the purposive sampling for taking the sample. According to Palys (2008), purposive sampling is a non-probability sampling method that is characterised by a deliberate effort to gain representative samples by including groups or typical areas in a sample. Therefore, the researcher chose six students to be interviewed and then the researcher called them as person A, B, C, D, E, and F. All initials are aimed to maintain neutrality and the respect of the research participants.

D. Research Instruments and Data Gathering Technique

The researcher used interview and questionnaire as the research instruments of this research. The data from both of the instruments would support each other in completing the final result of this research.

1) Interview

The interview was conducted in agreement by the researcher and the participants. Gillham (2000) states that interview is a conversation usually between two people, the conversation where one person – the interviewer – is


(40)

seeking responses for a particular purpose from the other person: interviewee. The interview session was aimed to get data related to subjects’ experiences when joining SPD. The questions which were used in the interview were open-ended questions. The questions were related to subjects’ experiences in SPD class. The first question was related to their brief experiences when joining SPD. The second and the third questions were related to the problems and challenges and also how they faced or solved them. The fourth and fifth questions were related to what they had learned during SPD class and the changes of them after joining SPD. Therefore the researcher got the data deeply through the answers. Royse (2007) states that open-ended questions produce greater detail and depth, they are greatly favored by the qualitative researchers. The subject is also allowed to elaborate the answers in which they still relate to the questions in order to get the data more deeply.

The researcher decided the place and time to conduct the interview. The interview was done in about fifty minutes for each interviewee. The interview was recorded by the researcher in order to avoid any missed information. So that, the researcher has the back-up for the interview data. The interview was conducted in order to get further information about how ELESP students obtain the knowledge of entrepreneurship through Service Program Design class.

2) Questionnaire

The questionnaire was done to get reliability and validity of the data because they are important aspects of questionnaire design. The researcher assumed that reliability and validity were the important aspects of questionnaire


(41)

26 design. According to Suskie (1996), a perfectly reliable questionnaire elicits consistent responses. Although it is difficult to develop, it is reasonable to design a questionnaire that approaches a consistent level of response. Leary (1995) offers seven guidelines for designing a useful questionnaire:

a. Use precise terminology in phrasing the questions

b. Write the questions as simply as possible, avoiding difficult words, unnecessary jargon, and cumbersome phrases

c. Avoid making unwarranted assumptions about the respondents d. Conditional information should precede the key idea of the question

e. Do not use double-barrelled questions. (questions that ask more than one question but provide the respondent with the opportunity for only one response)

f. Choose an appropriate response format g. Pre-test the questionnaire.

Robson (1993) indicates that a high reliability of response is obtainable by providing all respondents with the exact same set of questions. Validity is inherently more difficult to establish within a single statistical measure. If a questionnaire is perfectly valid, it must measure in such a way that inferences drawn from the questionnaire are entirely accurate. Therefore, in this research, the researcher used questionnaire in order to get reliability and validity of the data.


(42)

E. Data Analysis Technique

The researcher is one of ELESP students’ Batch 2012 who has taken

Service Program Design (SPD). However, the research would not be bias since the researcher put himself as a neutral party. It also had a justification on how the analysis would be drawn from qualitative inquiry method. Qualitative inquiry method remains transparent and methodical study.

In this research, it uses phenomenological study. Ary et al (2010) state phenomenological studies begin with the assumption that multiple realities are

rooted in subjects’ perspectives. Thus, an experience has different meanings for

each person. Through unstructured interviews, the investigator explores the subject’s thoughts and feelings to elicit the essence of an individual’s experience.

In qualitative research, there are three techniques which are used to analyze the data based on Ary et al (2010). They are organizing and familiarizing the data, coding and reducing, and interpreting and representing. The data were gathered using interview and questionnaire, therefore there was a transcript. According to Ary et al (2010), the interview results should be transcribed in order to avoid bias.

F. Triangulation

The researcher used triangulation as one of the methods in this research. The researcher considered that a single method could not adequately shed light on a phenomenon. Using multiple methods could help to facilitate deeper understanding. According to Yeasmin (2012), triangulation is a process of


(43)

28 verification that increases validity by incorporating several viewpoints and methods. Therefore, based on this point of view, the researcher used triangulation as the method for verifying the data. Due to the researcher used triangulation method, the researcher interpreted the data as the diagram below:

Fig. 3.1 Diagram of triangulation method

G. Research Procedures

This part shows the procedures of conducting the research from the beginning until the report of the data. The procedures will be listed as follows:

1) The researcher asked the advisor whether the topic was accepted. 2) The researcher chose the method for the study.

3) The researcher chose the interview and the questionnaire as the instruments to collect the data.

4) The researcher made some questions for the interview and then the researcher consulted the questions to the advisor.

5) The researcher chose some ELESP students’ Batch 2012, who had joined

SPD, to be interviewed. Those interviewees were chosen purposely since each student experienced the same process of learning in SPD.

CHAPTER IV

RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This chapter discusses the research results and the discussion based on the findings to answer the research questions. There are two sections being discussed in this chapter. The first section discusses the results of the interview and questionnaire related to how far the ELESP students obtain the knowledge of entrepreneurship during they joined Service Program Design (SPD) class and the percentage of the changing in feeling when experiencing the learning process in SPD across the period. The second section is discussion.

A. Research Results

Most ELESP students have taken Service Program Design (SPD) in the seventh or the eighth semester. Service Program Design is one of the compulsory courses in ELESP of Sanata Dharma. Service Program Design (SPD) course (KPE 477) is designed to train students to be ready to work especially in the field of English education. The lecturers who are teaching SPD have been experts in the field of the entrepreneurs. The lecturers are Dra. Lanny Anggawati and Endang Wijayanti, M.Pd. Both lecturers train ELESP students to be strong and ready to work in any job fields. Based on this case, the researcher tries to dig up more on how far the ELESP students obtain the knowledge of entrepreneurship through SPD. Based on the results of the interview to some students, the researcher finds that the lecturers trained the students to be ready to work in almost all job fields.


(46)

According to person A, a girl - one of the students in ELESP of Batch 2012 who has taken SPD class at seventh semester, overall she felt grateful since she found that SPD class was great. She told that at the first she felt afraid. She got this feeling since many rumors said that SPD was like hell. She got those rumors from her seniors. However, after joining the class for few meetings, she felt that the entire things were going well. Person A admitted that almost all the knowledge which was shared was important for her especially for being a good teacher. Person A

Secara keseluruhan Saya merasa SPD itu sangat penting, sangat bermakna banyak hal yang bisa dipelajari. Awalnya saya merasa takut,

karena dapat kabar dari kakak tingkat bahwa itu kayak “hell” banget.

Setelah mengikuti beberapa meeting saya merasa fine fine aja. Saya rasa semua yang saya pelajari sangat penting dan mendukung saya dalam menjadi seorang guru yang baik dan profesional.

[Overall, I feel SPD is very important and meaningful. There were many things that could be learned from SPD. At the first time, I was afraid because I heard rumors from my seniors that SPD was like a hell. After joining few meetings, I felt everything was going well. I felt that all the things that I had learned were very important and those things supported me to be a good and professional teacher.]

Most ELESP students of Batch 2012 who had taken SPD in the seventh semester told the same thing related to their overall experiences when joining SPD class. Person B, a boy - one of ELESP students’ Batch 2012 who has taken SPD in the seventh semester - , said that at the first time when the person B joined the class, he felt that it was tight since person B got many bad rumors related to SPD such as SPD was a frightening course. Due to that, person B felt it was impossible to join that class. However, as time went by, B felt interested in following all the activities in that course. Person B stated that there were many things that could be


(47)

32 gained which were related to simple things, values, and life. Person B felt that the rumors which were spread by seniors were different from his experiences when joining the actual class. Person B felt that he should not be frightened when joining the class. Moreover, person B emphasized that SPD course was a challenging course. Finally, person B said that SPD was worth to be given to all ELESP students.

Person B

Awalnya saya merasa tegang, hal ini disebabkan karena saya mendapat informasi dari kakak kelas mengenai spd. Banyak isu miring tentang spd misalnya spd itu mengerikan dll. Awalnya saya berpikir wahhh semuanya impossible untuk dilakukan, Seiring berjalan waktu, saya mulai merasa menarik, karena banyak hal yang diperoleh, hal sederhana, hal tentang kehidupan. Saya menyadari bahwa apa yang dikatakan dengan apa yang saya alami berbeda. Sehingga saya sadar bahwa ketakutan selama ini itu tidak berasal. Saya juga merasa SPD itu sangat menantang. Jadi kesimpulannya sangat worthy banget lah.

[At the first time, I felt worried. It happened because I got much information from seniors related to SPD. There were many bad issues related to SPD for instance SPD was a frightening course, etc. In the beginning, I thought that all the tasks in SPD were impossible to be done. As time went by, I started to feel interested in joining it because there were many things that could be gained – simple things and also related to life. I realized that those issues which were given by seniors related to SPD were different from what I had experienced. Finally, I realized that my fear at the beginning had no basic. I felt that SPD was a challenging course. So, the conclusion was SPD was a very worthy course.]

Those statements above are the statements of person A and person B which are related to expressing their feeling toward SPD class. However, we will look at on how they obtain the knowledge of Entrepreneurship through Service Program Design Class.


(48)

1. The Knowledge of Entrepreneurship

Baron (2012) emphasizes that entrepreneurship involves something more basic. It involves the application of human creativity, ingenuity, knowledge, and skills that creates some kind of value (social or economic).

a. Creativity

Anderson (1959) defines a creativity as a phenomenon whereby something new and somehow valuable is formed. The created item may be intangible (such as an idea, a scientific theory, a musical composition or a joke) or a physical object (such as an invention, a literary work or a painting). According to Kanematsu and Barry (2016), a creative person is usually energetic and full of ideas. This individual is also characterized by having a desire to grow and a capability to be puzzled, spontaneous, a divergent thinker, open to new experiences, persistent, and a hard worker. When the researcher looked at the creativity aspect, the researcher found that the lecturer, Dra. Lanny Anggawati, had her creativity (an idea) in sharing the knowledge of entrepreneurship. She used problems as her creative idea to teach entrepreneurship knowledge. Therefore, she used to state that she created the problems to make ELESP students faced them. Therefore, most of the participants stated that they faced many problems during SPD class. Person A stated that there were many problems during SPD class. However, those problems could be solved well. For example, all of them had to make time table twice since the first time table were considered by the lecturer as the bad one because there were many unimportant activities there. Another problem that person A told was there were many tasks given in


(49)

34 SPD class while they had no much time to finish all the tasks. Person A said that most of them were taking another course too in the same semester such as Proposal Seminar or PPL. However, she emphasized that those problems could be solved quite well since she made time schedule. Another participant, Person C, also emphasized that there were two big problems that she faced; it was related to the time management and the creativity task. The time management was considered as the big problem since person C also took another course in the same semester. Therefore, person C should try to make schedule. Related to the creative task, person C tried to improve her creativity by learning from her friends. Therefore, it would help her to solve the problem related to the creativity task. Person A

Kalau ngomong soal masalah, itu tentunya pasti ada tapi semuanya masih bisa diatasi. Contohnya bikin time table 2 kali. Cik lanny minta kita untuk membuat ulang time tablenya karena yang pertama banyak kegiatan yang wasting time. Masalah yang lainnya adalah banyak tugas. Padahal saya juga pada saat itu juga lagi ngambil kelas Propsem, jadi harus bisa bagi waktu. Tapi pada akhirnya semuanya bisa terselesaikan. [Talking about problems, there were problems there. However, those problems could be solved. For example, we had to make time table twice. Miss Lanny asked us to make the time table again since the first time table consisted of unimportant activities which were just wasting time. The other problem was the tasks. Honestly, at that time, I was taking Proposal Seminar (ProSem) class too, so I should be able to manage time. Finally, those problems could be solved well]

Person C

Ada beberapa masalah yang saya alami selama mengikuti SPD pada saat itu, yang pertama itu management waktu. Kenapa saya bilang pada saat itu saat mengalami masalah dengan management waktu, itu karena pada saat itu saya juga mengambil propsem, sama beberapa makul lainnya, nah lumayan susah membagi waktunya. Masalah berikutnya itu mengenai bangun pagi. Saya sangat susah untuk bangun pagi. Trus masalah yang terakhir itu berkaitan dengan tugas-tugasnya terutama tugas artworknya


(50)

karena tugas itu menuntut kreatifitas dari kita. Saya rasa saya kurang kreatifitasnya.

[There were some problems that I faced during joining SPD, the first one was time management. Why I said that I faced the problem which was related to time management was because at that time, I also took Proposal Seminar (PropSem) course, and also some other courses. So it was a little bit difficult to manage my time. The next problem was I had to get up earlier in the morning. I felt hard to get up earlier in the morning. The last problem was related to the tasks (given by Dra Lanny Anggawati) especially artwork task, because that task demanded our creativity. I felt that I was lack of the sense of creativity]

Based on both statements above which were given by person A and person C, it shows the creativity of the lecturers in sharing the knowledge of entrepreneurship by giving many problems to students. For example, person A

stated “Cik lanny minta kita untuk membuat ulang time tablenya karena yang

pertama banyak kegiatan yang wasting time” [Miss Lanny asked us to make again the time table since the first time table consisted of those unimportant

activities where just wasting time.] and person C stated “masalah yang terakhir

itu berkaitan dengan tugas-tugasnya terutama tugas artworknya karena tugas itu menuntut kreatifitas dari kita.” [The last problem was related to the tasks (given by Dra Lanny Anggawati) especially artwork task, because that task demanded our creativity.].

In SPD class, the students got the knowledge of entrepreneurship related to the creativity. The students got it (the creativity) when they got the artwork task. That is why, person A said:

Di SPD tuh, kita diminta untuk membuat artwork dan itu meng... apayaaaa,, menuntut kita untuk menjadi lebih kreatif. Jadi yang berubah dalam diri saya itu saya menjadi lebih kreatif dari sebelumnya.


(51)

36 [In SPD class, we were demanded to make artwork and it (meng... apayaaaa,,) forced us to become more creative. So the change in me was I became more creative]

Dealing with that creativity task (artwork), for some students it became a problem since some students admitted that they had no sense of creativity as stated by person C and person D.

Person C

Masalah yang terakhir itu berkaitan dengan tugas-tugasnya terutama tugas artworknya karena tugas itu menuntut kreatifitas dari kita.

[The last problem was related to the tasks (given by Dra Lanny Anggawati) especially artwork task, because that task demanded our creativity.].

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] Based on both statements above, the researcher noticed that basically at the first time, both person C and D faced the same problem. They considered that the artwork task as one of the problems that they faced during joining SPD class. However, as time went by, they finally could solve it well.

Person C

Berkaitan dengan masalah yang terakhir, yakni tentang kreatifitasnya saya mencoba untuk belajar dari teman yang lain dalam membuat artwork sehingga saya bisa menjadi pribadi yang kreatif.


(1)

Apa yang dipelajari dari spd  Kedisiplinan

 Management waktu

 Fokus pada satu titik tapi tidak melupakan hal lain  Membuat artwork

 Sharing di depan kelas. Saya masih inget ketika waktu itu saya sharing di depan kelas, nah setelah itu dapet nasihat dari cik lanny; buatlah pecapaian yang tinggi jangan cuman sedang2 aja.

 Mencari langkah-langkah apa yang perlu dipersiapkan  Mempelajari tentang krama

 Tidak boleh mengurangi nilai kebaikan kita, tidak boleh merendah kan diri kita

 Harus memandang suatu hal dari berbagai hal Kesan terhadap spd

 SPD itu sangat positive, membentuk mental saya.  Mengubah cara pandang

 Sangat menarik dan pantas untuk diberikan pada pada semester-semester awal


(2)

PERSON C Pengalaman

SPD itu salah satu matakuliah yang tidak terlupakan karena ada banyak hal yang menarik dan berkesan: Dosennya, tugas-tugasnya, sama dinamika secara umum dan kelompok.

Masalah-Masalahnya

Ada beberapa masalah yang saya alami selama mengikuti SPD pada saat itu, yang pertama itu management waktu. Kenapa saya bilang pada saat itu saat mengalami masalah dengan management waktu, itu karena pada saat itu saya juga mengambil propsem, sama beberapa makul lainnya, nah lumayan susah membagi waktunya.

Masalah berikutnya itu mengenai bangun bangun. Saya sangat susah untuk bangun pagi. Trus masalah yang terakhir itu berkaitan dengan tugas-tugasnya terutama tugas artworknya karena tugas itu menuntut kreatifitas dari kita. Saya rasa saya kurang kreatifitasnya.

Langkah apa yang kamu ambil untuk menyelesaikannya

Langkah-langkah yang saya lakukan untuk menyelesaikan masalah-masalah tersebut yang pertama yang berkaitan dengan management waktu, saya berusaha untuk mengatur jadwal saya. Bagaimana saya mengatur jadwalnya? Itu dengan cara menghilangkan kegiatan-kegiatan yang tidak terlalu penting. Contohnya dengan buat prioritasnya. Setelah itu lebih fokus pada prioritasnya. Kalau keselitan berikut yang berkaitan dengan bangun pagi, saya berusaha untuk bangun pagi trus dan lama kelamaan saya akhirnya bisa bangun pagi dengan sendirinya. Berkaitan dengan masalah yang terakhir, yakni tentang kreatifitasnya saya mencoba untuk belajar dari teman yang lain dalam membuat artwork sehingga saya bisa menjadi pribadi yang kreatif

Selama mengikuti spd apa yang berubah dalam diri

Ada banyak yang berubah setelah saya mengikuti kelas SPD. Seperti yang saya bilang sebelumnya, saya jadi bisa mengatur waktu ( time management ) saya dengan baik dengan menghilangkan kegiatan-kegiatan yang tidak penting. Yang berubah dalam diri saya berikutnya itu tentang cara memandang orang lain melalui sisi positive. Sebelumnya saya sering berpikir kalau orang sering berpikir yang negative tentang saya. Namun,

setelah mengikuti SPD saya akhirnya sadar kalau pikiran saya itu salah. Saya sadar itu ketika cik lanny memberi tugas Eulogi.

Menurut saya, SPD itu bisa dibilang kelas motivasi karena banyak motivasi yang disampaikan yang dapet digunakan sebagai pegangan hidup. Jadi, setelah mengikuti SPD, saya jadi lebih termotivasi untuk menjadi sukses.

Di SPD itu, kita diajarkan tentang tipe-tipe orang. Tiap tipe orang punya karakteristiknya tersendiri. Oleh karena itu, saya jadi belajar untuk menghadapi orang lain sesuai dengan tipe-tipenya masing-masing. Dulunya tuh saya sering menyama ratakan semua tipe-tipe tersebut, sehingga saya sering deal sama semua orang dengan cara yang sama. Tapi setelah mengikuti SPD, saya pada akhirnya sadar kalau orang dengan tipe berbeda harus dihadapi dengan cara berbeda. Misalnya dalam Teamwork, ada berbagai tipe dalam kelompok misalnya thinker, problem maker, worker, inisitor. Jadi saya belajar bahwa yang harus dilakukan di sini itu adalah kita saya tahu bagaimana cara memberdayakan orang-orang tersebut sesuai dengan kemampuannya masing-masing.

Ada lagi yang berubah dalam diri saya, yakni sifat kekanakan sudah mulai hilang, karena di kelas SPD itu kita dipersiapkan untuk menjadi seorang yang siap untuk bekerja bukan lagi orang yang suka berleha-leha.

Perubahan selanjutnya itu saya jadi bisa membedakan suatu hal penting atau tidak dalam hal ini saya lebih peka. Saya tau mana yang menjadi prioritas

Yang sudah pelajari

Banyak hal yang sudah dipelajari selama mengikuti SPD, saya sebutin aja yah

Iya, sebutin aja, tapi kasih penjelasan dikit-dikit juga boleh:

Yang pertama dipelajarin itu first impression. Misalnny pada pertemuan pertama, cik lanny langsung bentak kita, jadi itu sebenarnya cik lanny mau nunjukin kalau dia tuh membangun fisrt impression tentang dirinya kepada kita (sebagai seorang yang tegas). Ketika belajar first impression ini, kita belajar bagaimana menciptakan kesan pertama kepada orang baru mengenai diri kita. Menurut saya first impression tuh sangat penting. Hal berikut yang dipelajari itu tentang neuron science, awalnya semuanya mulai dari pikiran (state of mind). Contohnya sebelum kita melakukan sesuatu, kita awalnya mulai dari pikiran dulu. Pada dasarnya semuanya tuh selalu startnya dari otak dulu. Jadi kekuatan kita berada diotak (the power of mind).

Setelah belajar mengenai the power of mind, saya juga belajar mengenai behaviour. Behaviour di sini itu dalam artian kita belajar membangun good behaviour. Kita di sana langsung mengimplentasikan behaviournya misalnya pada saat praktek cara jalan yang baik dan juga praktek wawancara.

Saya juga belajar tentang tipe orang. Ada 4 tipe orang; sanguin, melankolis, kolerik, dan juga plegmatik. Setiap orang belongs to one of those tpes. Ada beberapa orang yang bisa berubah tipenya tergantung situasinya. Di dalam tipe-tipe itu tiap orang mempunyai perannya sendiri-sendiri. Misalnya sebagai thinker, inisitor, worker, dan juga ada yang problem maker.

Di SPD itu kita juga belajar mengenai teamwork. Makanya kita tuh harus membentuk kelompok-kelompok kecil dan di sana kita dilatih untuk bekerjasama di dalam kelompok tersebut. Misalnya dengan mencari klien. Hal selanjutnya yang saya pelajari di SPD itu mengenai 7 habits of highly effective people oleh Stephen Covey. Saya sebut secara acak aja yah: Put first things first, think win-win, be proactive, Begin with the end in mind, Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood, synergize, dan yang terakhir itu sharpen the saw.

Hal yan terakhir yang saya pelajari di SPD itu dan yang paling berkesan itu bikin Eulogi (pidato kematian).

Menurut pendapatmu semua yang kamu pelajari itu bisa mendukung kamu dalam dunia kerja?

Sejauh ini, menurut saya itu sangat membantu saya terlebih dalam menjadi guru. Cita-cita saya itu menjadi seorang guru dan dalam dunia kerja seorang guru saya merasa bahwa semua yang sudah saya pelajari di kelas SPD itu sangat berguna. Misalnya saja bekerja dalam group dengan teman sekantor, membangun relasi dengan siswa, memanage waktu, terlebih lagi tentang 7 habits nya yang sangat berguna dala dunia kerja karena kita saya jadi mempunyai goal dalam hidup.

Seminar bersama pak Gunawan

Yang saya dengar itu, ada dua hal yang disampaikan pak gunawan: Leadership berkaitan dengan mengatur orang dan Management berkaitan mengatur hal-hal.

Kesan tentang SPD itu luar biasa Anjurannya harus konsisten

PERSON D

Pengalaman selama mengikuti spd

Paradigma sudah dibangun sebelum mengkuti kelas spd, yakni kelasnya sangat sulit, dosennya, peraturannya. Hal ini membuat saya merasa takut untuk bergabung di kelas SPD. Ketika dalam proses mengikuti kelas SPD, ada banyak tugas yang diberikan sedangkan waktu yang diberikan untuk menyelesaikan tugas-tugas tersebut sangat sedikit. Hal tersebut pada akhirnya berdampak pada munculnya pikiran-pikiran atau ketakutan bahwa tugas-tugas tersebut impossible to be done, akan tetapi seiring berjalannya waktu saya dapat menyelesaikannya.

Masalah-masalah yang dihadapi selama mengikuti kelas SPD?

Kalau berbicara tentang masalah, ada beberapa masalah yang saya hadapi selama mengikuti kelas SPD. Masalah yang pertama adalah memanage waktu. Pada awalnya saya suka menunda-nunda dalam menyelesaikan suatu tugas.

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.

Masalah berikutnya berkaitan dengan sosialisasi dan dinamika. Terlebih ketika berdinamika dengan kelompoknya dimana pada saat itu orang-orang dalam kelompok saya kebanyakan merupakan orang-orang-orang-orang baru. Padahal pada saat itu saya tidak terbiasa sebelumnnya untuk bekerja sama dengan orang-orang baru untuk suatu hal yang serius.

Masalah yang terakhir itu tentang mencari klien, jujur selama ini, kita sebenarnya tidak mempunyai background atau pengalaman dalam meyakinkan beberapa instasi dan juga tidak memahami mikenismenya sehingga awalmya kebingungan.

Langkah yang dilakukan

Langkah-langkah yang dilakukan dalam menyelesaikan masalah-masalah tersebut yakni yang berkaitan dengan masalah yang peretama dengan cara membuat list (timeline), dan juga fokus pada time line yang sudah dibuat, sehingga pada akhirnya menjadi kebiasaan. Selanjutnya itu harus tegas terhadap suatu hal (tidak boleh ragu-ragu).

Berhubungan dengan masalah artwork, langkah yang saya lakukan adalah saya mencari informasi dan juga belajar dari orang lain.

Berkaitan dengan masalah yang berikutnya, yakni berdinamika dalam kelompok, langkah yang saya ambil adalah dengan berusaha untuk jadi orang yang netral dalam kelompok, berusaha untuk memberikan yang terbaik untuk kelompok dan juga selalu memberikan hal-hal yang positive


(6)

untuk kelompok. Dan yang terpenting itu dengan belajar mengenal karakter teman-teman sekelompok.

Langkah yang dilakukan dalam menyelesaikan permasalahan yang berkaitan dengan mencari klien itu dengan cara belajar mempresentasikan diri (membangun first impressionnya).

Apa yang dipelajari

Apa yang saya pelajari selama mengikuti kelas SPD itu adalah yang pertama tentang management waktu dalam hal ini saya mulai mengurangi aktifitas aktifitas yang kurang penting.

Hal yang berikutnya yang saya pelajari adalah dengan melihat diri sendiri secara positive (value your self)

Bersosialisi dengan banyak orang dimana setiap orang mempunyai kepribadian yang berbeda beda sehingga cara menghadapi setiap orang itu berbeda. Menurut saya SPD itu sebagai jembatan dalam dunia kerja. Ada banyak hal yang mendukukung dalam menjadi entrepreneurs yakni yang pertama management waktu, trus tegas, dan juga melihat ketakutan sebagai kekuatannya dalam hal ini kita harus melawan rasa takut dan ragu-ragu.

Apa yang dipelajari dari pak gunawan

Ada tiga point penting yang disampaikan pak gunawan yaitu yang pertama berjuang dan berjuang, dan yang kedua itu harus mempunyai target dan harus tegas dalam mencapai target dan yang terakhir harus mulai dari kemauan.
