Abstract

This research aims to: 1) analyse the development needs of the Project Based-Learning based Entrepreneurial Skills Programming model; 2) design a model that supports the integration of entrepreneurial skills into programming learning; 3) assess the validity of the Project Based-Learning based Entrepreneurial Skills Programming model; 4) pilot the model to evaluate the effectiveness of teaching and developing entrepreneurial skills; 5) examine the effectiveness of the Entrepreneurial Skills Programming model; and 6) identify student responses to the Entrepreneurial Skills Programming model. These skills are important to equip students with relevant and appropriate abilities for the dynamic world of work and rapid technological development. The method used is Research and Development (R&D) with a 4D development model approach: Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. Data were collected through literature studies, field surveys, and in-depth interviews with stakeholders. The research stages included needs identification, model design, prototype development, and model dissemination. The validity and reliability of the instruments were tested using the Validity Coefficient (Va) and percentage of agreement (PA). The results showed that the developed entrepreneurship model was effective in improving students' entrepreneurial skills, evidenced by the significant improvement in students' learning outcomes and their positive response to the model. The model is considered to add value and increase students' enthusiasm for learning. This confirms the importance of integrating entrepreneurial skills in programming learning to prepare students for the challenges of today's world of work.
