Methodology
Focus of this studies is role of social studies toward entrepreneurs course in economic
education, which describes the effectiveness of the observation approach in economic
learning and teaching to increase spirit of entrepreneurship of student. Development of
teaching and learning in entrepreneurs course to my students is a little researched topic, with
qualitative research design was chosen as most appropriate. Thirtieth five students aged 2122 taking an Entrepreneurship Course in Department of Economic Education at the State
University of Surabaya, Indonesia were given several discussion about spirit of entrepreneur
to become welfare citizenship and case studies with problem solving. The students were
asked to discuss in small groups and classical presentation about problem in entrepreneurship
course. Sugiyono (2006) provide an in-depth description of how focus groups are useful as a
qualitative research technique, and their guidelines for conducting interviews and were
applied in this teaching and learning.
lecturers be able to show spirit, mental attitude, and behavior of entrepreneurs, so that
teachers and lecturers can show examples of the social dimension of intimacy. The
entrepreneurship dimension not only in the business world, but on the other fields. The basic
concept of this social dimension that the entrepreneurial spirit and mental attitude of the
teachers and lecturers need to be further developed as a solid foundation which should ideally
be integrated either into the scientific basis, the performance of the profession and the
professional skills that are developed on an ongoing basis. When vision of leadpreneurship
opened as above, then the teachers and lecturers will be positioned as leaders (not just the
leadership or the incumbent) is transformative, which converts dirt and junk into gold,
whether it is related to learners as well as the environment in which he was serving. Teachers
and lecturers are leadpreneurial (leadpreneurships soul), when he was also one who
Pancasilaist, then this is an ideal figure of the teacher profile required. All of that to generate
interest learning of students who will explore, develop, and exploit the natural wealth and
cultural wealth of the country to improve the lives of the people and the nation of Indonesia.
In this regard Rhenald Kasali (2010) coined the term intangibles. By Kasali intangibles itself
is defined as the "spirit". As the spirit contained in our body, it is invisible, intangible, yet we
understand very well what happens when the body does not have a soul. Intangibles are real
property not his form. With regard to the "spirit" is, Wargahadibrata (2011) explains that
entrepreneurial character education is an education program that is applying systematically
facilitate students, without obliging them will eventually have to choose careers as
entrepreneurs. That is, even if they choose a career path after graduating as an employee, then
they will already have the advantage of entrepreneurs characters that will be applicable to
success in any profession.
serving.
9. Teachers and lecturers are leadpreneurial (leadpreneurship soul), when he was also
one who Pancasilaist, then this is an ideal figure of the teacher profile required to arouse the
interest of learners that will enable it to explore, develop, and exploit the natural wealth and
cultural wealth of the archipelago to improve people's lives and the nation of Indonesia
10. Intangibles defined as a spirit, and as with the spirit contained in our body, it is
invisible, intangible. Yet, who can deny the role of the spirit in the living body? Intangible is
immaterial property are priceless. Leadpreneurial is an intangible that is required by the
teachers (educators) to prepare a generation of Indonesia in 2045.
With the spirit of the above, through the Education of Social Sciences, students
equipped with the understanding, skills and values and attitudes and nature to foster the spirit
of entrepreneurship and leadprenuership so that when they are ready to graduate later
independently and meet a brighter future.
