Introduction 

 The low quality of human resources in Indonesia that we often see in various news and 

international surveys should be our motivation, especially the government to immediately clean 

up. The wealth of natural resources abundant, making the Indonesian people lulled. Too long we 

are secured by the grace of nature, and just realized when the natural resources owned is getting 

thinning. Indonesia's economic development in the future would be difficult to advance if only 

depend on the natural wealth. Need to improve the quality of human resources.

The World Economic Forum 1, reports that Indonesia's competitiveness rating is ranked 38th and 

lower compared to some neighboring countries such as Singapore (ranked 2nd), Malaysia (24th) 

and Thailand (37th). Currently Indonesia's Human Development Index (IPM) is ranked 121st out 

of 187 countries. We are well below neighboring countries such as Singapore (ranked 18th), 

Malaysia (ranked 64th), Thailand (103th), and Philippines (rank 114). Similarly, if we look at the 

structure of the Indonesian labor force. A total of 55.3 million (46.8 percent) of primary school 

graduates (SD). Based on these data, until here we can assume the quality of human resources is 

still low when compared with countries in Southeast Asia.  

 Government as the party who has the highest authority in the implementation of a country, 

basically has had some effort in improving human quality from time to time. The national 

education system is one such effort. The national education system itself as contained in Law 

Number 20 Year 2003 Article 1 concerning the National Education System, is an integral 

component of integrated education in order to achieve educational objectives. The follow-up in 

the Law also explains that there are three educational pathways that can be reached by the 

community that includes formal, informal and non-formal education channels. Non-formal 

education as one of the educational paths in the national education system, has a very effective 

opportunity or potential in terms of improving the quality of Indonesian human resources 

currently low as disclosed through previous data and facts. The non-formal education itself as 

defined in Undang-undang No. 20 Tahun 2003 tentang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional can be defined 

as an educational path outside formal education which can be implemented in a structured and 

tiered manner2. Nonformal education is organized for community members who need education 

services that serve as a substitute, enhancement, and / or complementary formal education in 

order to support lifelong education. Nonformal education serves to develop the potential of 

learners with an emphasis on mastery of knowledge and functional skills as well as the development 

of professional attitudes and personalities. 

 Course and training programs when we look at the past, can basically be superior programs 

rather than non-formal education channels, which involve improving the quality of human 

resources. The existence of lean institutions and training in the end also becomes very important. 

The importance of the course institution as part of the national education system arrangement in 

human resource development is as follows. First, the course can improve the quality of knowledge,

skills, and attitudes f the community as a workforce. Second, the institution of the course as a 

complement to the shortcomings contained in the education system. Third, the course institutions 

are able to realize the benefits of school education. The Government sees the presence of the 

course because; (1) the increased demand of the community to improve its standard of living by 

acquiring practical knowledge and functional skills; (2) the limited ability of formal school 

institutions to respond to increased demand; (3) considering the increasing number of school 

dropouts and population growth. Schooling, college, applying for a job is a conventional pattern 

that becomes a habit for almost everyone before entering the workforce. Among the hundreds of 

thousands or even millions of job seekers who escaped about 20% and the remaining 80% are still 

unemployed, waiting for calls, courses, more schools, lectures or even frustration. Departing the 

problem, the orientation of education graduates, school education path or out-of-school 

education, to look for work or employees is not the right choice. What needs to be developed 

from learners is the orientation of entrepreneurship and create new jobs for independent living. 

Along with these demands, the course institutions not only teach vocational skills, but also possess 

and teach the entrepreneurship education content. Thus the course able to give birth graduates 

who are ready to be independent as an entrepreneur. 

 The choice to be an entrepreneur is, in fact, one of the most promising alternatives to the 

future life. In educating students for entrepreneurship required a specific curriculum and learning 

strategy. The design of the curriculum and learning strategies need to be systematically designed 

for bias in monitoring and measured the success rate to achieve the objectives and learning 

objectives. Learners from courses that are mostly from disadvantaged families are large educational 

and labor targets. Based on the problem, this research will try to study how the curriculum model 

and learning strategy in growing and developing entrepreneurial attitude for learners of course 

institution. The study, planned to be implemented in LKP Kresna Informatika Kab. Tulungagung. 

 

Methods 

This research was completed with a development research procedure through a mixed method 

approach. Sugiyono (2011: 18), explains that mix methods are research methods by combining two 

research methods at the same time, qualitative and quantitative in a research activity, so that more 

comprehensive, valid, reliable, and objective data will be obtained. This research was conducted at 

the LKP Kresna Informatics course institute located in Kab. Tulungagung or rather located on Jl. 

Yos Sudarso No.108, Karangwaru, Kec. Tulungagung, Tulungagung Regency - East Java Province. 

Data collection techniques used during the field are using Observation and Documentation,

Interviews and Tests. The analysis technique used refers to Miles and Huberman, that there are 

three stages in data processing and analysis, namely (1) data reduction, (2) data display, and (3) 

conclusion drawing / verification3. In testing the validity of the data researchers also use the 

Burhan Bungin approach, which includes Data Collection, Data Reduction, Data Display, 

Verification and Confirmation of Conclusions4. 

 

Result and Discussion 

1. Data analysis of research results 

 Course and training institutions (LKP) Kresna Informatika is one of institutions in non-

formal education units that have been long standing in Tulungagung regency. LKP Kresna 

Informatika started on June 1, 1989 by Drs. H. Usup SE. Ak. MBA.MM. is a founding figure rather 

than an institution now more than 28 years old. LKP Kresna Informatika in its journey has 

graduated students of course program on various skill fields ranging from management accounting, 

computer to countless number of english. A number of achievements and awards from various 

parties were not a few have been obtained. Appreciation from the community was quite good, 

which is indicated by the number of students who each year experienced an increase in the number 

of learners not only from the district of Tulungagung but also from outside such as Trenggalek, 

Blitar and Kediri. The development and demands of the world of work began in 2000, LKP Kresna 

Informatika opened Professional Program 1 (one) year with technologybased orientation and print 

skilled manpower in its field which then operated until now, among others majors; 

a. Integrated accounting and computer coursework courses

LKP Kresna Informatika see the problems in the world of work as mentioned earlier, determined 

to equip the ability of entrepreneur to the students of the course in various skill fields in LKP 

Kresna Informatika. The entrepreneurship education program is a form of briefing of the 

capability or proficiency of the company as intended. The existence of the program is aimed at the 

graduates of the course program in LKP Kresna Informatika no longer fixated on only one 

opportunity that is looking for work but more than that they are also expected to create 

employment according to the skills that have been owned after the course program.

Implementation of the educational program of entrepreneurship in LKP Kresna Informatika is 

conducted using 4 in 1 approach as the following figure; 

a. Identification of business opportunities, the agency identifies business opportunities on a 

local, national, and international scale. Identify potential local resources (products or 

services) that can be developed into new ventures according to market opportunities at 

local, national or international scale. Implementation of partnership that has been executed 

to the parties of the Industrial World (DUDI), also again intensified. This is deliberately 

taken LKP Kresna Informatika to arrange materials and skills learning strategies in each 

field of appropriate skills as an effort to instill the attitude or skills of a wirsauahawan in 

learners. 

b. Skills-based entrepreneurship learning. Learning of entrepreneurship education program 

which is held in LKP Kresna Informatika as far as observation of researcher and 

explanation of institute use curriculum and teaching materials covering; 

1) Changes in mindset; 

2) Build the character of the entrepreneur; 

3) Starting a business; 

4) Plan the business; 

5) Market and develop business; 

6) Skill competencies that match the identification of business opportunities. 

Evaluation of learning outcomes, to measure the achievement of learning outcomes that 

learners have mastered the skills and have the ability to entrepreneurship, then every field 

of course skills organized such as integrated accounting and computer, secretary 

management, professional English and informatics management, should carry out 

evaluation of learning outcomes to each learner. 

c. Mentoring and Business Pioneering, learners of course courses in the field of integrated 

accounting and computer skills, management secretary, professional English and 

informatics management who have followed the learning evaluation of entrepreneurship 

education program must be given guidance to pioneer the business in accordance with the 

skills mastered. Assistance conducted by the institution in terms of LKP Krisna 

Informatika as far as the observation of the researcher is facilitating in accessing funds to 

financial institutions, establishing partnerships with business partners, marketing of 

products, apprenticeship and so forth. This is not so that the quality of the implementation 

of educational programs kedisualaan initiated LKP Krishna Informatika runs as it should,

namely the birth of the graduates who are not oriented to be workers but already on the 

entrepreneur oriented. 

Based on the results of tracking in the current year than the alumni in LKP Kresna 

Informatika as shown in the table above, we can see and observe that there are no less 

than 272 students who have graduated from the learning activities which then seen there 

are some who have worked well as entrepreneur / entrepreneur or as a worker. Noted 

there are 214 alumni have set up business in various field either linear or not linear with 

the knowledge learned during follow activity of course in LKP Kresna Informatika. The 

existence of other alumni that is as a worker there are about 49 and also there are 9 people 

who still do not get a job or establish business activities. 

 

2. Discussion of research findings  

 The educational program of entrepreneurship skills which has been carried out by LKP 

Kresna Informatika has the main objective of one of them is to develop entrepreneurship skill to 

the students. Entrepreneurship as mentioned previously is the equivalent of entrepreneurship in 

English, unternehmer in German, ondernemen in Dutch5. The word entrepreneurship itself 

actually originated from the French language is "entreprende" which means adventurers, creators, 

and business managers. The term was first introduced by Richard Cantillon 6. The term is 

increasingly popular after being used by economist J.B Say 7  to describe entrepreneurs who are 

able to move economic resources from lower productivity levels to higher levels and generate 

more. Efforts in fostering the skills of entrepreneurship in LKP Kresna Informatika as far as the 

observation of researchers in the field technically implemented through educational programs of 

entrepreneurship. The education program held in LKP Kresna Informatika oscillation through 4 

in 1 approach that is business opportunity identification, skill-based entrepreneurship learning, 

evaluation of learning outcomes and assistance and business pioneering is quite effective in the 

context of growing entrepreneurship skills in learners. This is evident from the number of 

professions alumni that the majority are entrepreneurship.  

 This amount is more than the profession in the realm of workers and who are still in job 

search or unemployed. Based on these facts, until here the educational program entrepreneurship

held by LKP Kresna Informatika quite effective and successful course in cultivating a person's 

skills in entrepreneurship. A learner can certainly be said to grow his entrepreneurial skills when 

able to take risks not to work as a worker but to decide to start entrepreneurship and it is evident 

as seen on the alumni tracking recapitulation table which shows that the entrepreneurship 

profession is more dominant in every year. Departing from the exposure of data on the results and 

analysis of research, as included in the results of the above interviews, we can understand together 

that the entrepreneurship education program that has been held by LKP Kresna Informatika quite 

effective and successful. It is seen when we see how to dominate his entrepreneurial profession 

compared to workers or unemployment if of course see recapitulation rather than tracking alumni 

from 2013 until 2016. The same is also reinforced by comments or opinions from some informants 

who are alumni of LKP Kresna Informatika with a diverse year and a range of skills that are 

considered relevant and capable of representing the opinions of other informants. 

 

Conclusion 

 LKP Kresna Informatika as far as the observation of the researcher of course after going 

through various long process, have succeeded to grow and develop entrepreneurship skill to 

learners. It certainly can be proved by the domination of the entrepreneurial profession often 

outperformed the alumni who become workers or unemployed or have not found a job in each 

year of his generation, if referring to the recapitulation of tracking alumni that routinely done by 

the institution since the beginning of the implementation of entrepreneurship education program. 

The main conclusions that we can draw based on the formulation of the problem and the results 

of analysis and discussion in this study are as follows: 

1. The prerequisite of one's attitude input and one's entrepreneurial nature in LKP Kresna 

Informatika includes; honest, intelligent, trustworthy, conveying knowledge and sincerity. 

2. Design of learning strategies in developing and developing entrepreneurship skills of 

learners in LKP Kresna Informatika through a special approach that is called 4 in 1 or with 

four stages. 

3. Implementation of learning strategies in developing and developing entrepreneurship skills 

of learners in LKP Kresna Informatika; identification of business opportunities, 

entrepreneurship and skills learning, evaluation of learning outcomes and assistance and 

business pioneering. 

 Success in growing and developing the skills of entrepreneurship that have been 

implemented by LKP Kresna Informatika certainly not apart from some deficiencies that is

possible when these shortcomings are immediately improved open the opportunity to be more 

successful in the implementation. The expansion of partnership networks especially with banks or 

similar capital firms needs to be intensified so that learners who have unique or potential ideas or 

ideas in the context of entrepreneurship can be of little help considering their initial constraints 

are about capital.
