Entrepreneurial Character, Students, Biology LearningAbstract
This study aims to analyze the entrepreneurial character of students in Class XI Fase F Bio E at SMAN 2 Padang as an essential 21st-century competence encompassing confidence, decision-making ability, cooperation, creativity, and adaptability. The research employed a descriptive quantitative method using a questionnaire consisting of 18 entrepreneurial character indicators. Data were collected from all students in the class and analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques to obtain the mean score of each indicator as well as the overall score. The results show that the students’ entrepreneurial character is categorized as fairly good, with an average score of 59.98. The highest indicators were cooperativeness and profit orientation, while the lowest were time efficiency, confidence, and quick decision-making. These findings indicate that although the students’ entrepreneurial character has developed, it is not yet evenly distributed across all indicators, with several personal aspects still requiring improvement. The study concludes that targeted character development efforts are needed to strengthen weaker indicators and support the comprehensive development of entrepreneurial competencies.
