Education of secondary school aims to prepare students for
higher education, but based on BPS-Statistics Indonesia data on February 2012,
the number of workers of secondary school graduates in Jakarta 1.09 million
people (23.05%) differing only slightly from graduates of Diploma and
University of 1.13 million people (23.89%). They are not supported by adequate
soft skills, such as personal skills, social, communication, and
self-management behaviors. In anticipation of these conditions, learning at
secondary school should provide sufficient portion to develop students' soft
skills. Learning of chemistry in secondary school has scope to recognize,
respond to, appreciate and understand the science, develop scientific thinking
habits such as critical thinking and creative, independent, and have a positive
attitude. So that learning chemistry can be used to develop student's soft skills,
especially interpersonal skills consisting of the ability of cooperation and
communication. Interpersonal skills is the ability that allows a person to work
efficiently with others without personality conflicts.
Based on this, it is necessary to make chemistry learning
approach that touches important aspects of learning. Chemo-entrepreneurship
learning approach abbreviated CEP is a kind of learning approach to motivate
the students to have a scientific attitude, creative thinking and innovative so
they have the entrepreneurship spirit. This approach is expected to learn more
enjoyable chemistry and provides them with opportunities to optimize their
potential to produce a product.
After the students have real experience of producing
products, their mindset changed. They will feel that there are many entrepreneurship
opportunities related to chemistry study, and making business plan is important
in running entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship is all things related to attitudes, actions
and processes carried out in the pioneering entrepreneur, run and grow their
businesses. Entrepreneur is defined as a person who knows how to take advantage
of business opportunities and translate them into businesses that have added
value. Entrepreneur is a motivator that combines different technologies and
business concepts for new products or services that are able to recognize every
favorable opportunity, strategize and successfully implement his ideas.
Implementation of chemo-entrepreneurship learning approach is basically through several phases of activities: (1) face to face, (2) group discussion, (3) literature review, (4) planning to produce the products, (5) experiment and written tests. These stages are common steps that are designed based on the primary purpose CEP learning approach that can develop new competencies ie entrepreneurship competence. Chemo-entrepreneurship learning approach can be applied in developing the ability of student's cooperation and communication. It is because this kind of learning also requires students to continue to work together to achieve mastery of learning and good communication. (MP)
