Abstract:
One of the competencies that must be possessed by humans in the 21st century is entrepreneurship.
This ability is very important to support the quality of human resources. Unfortunately, in Indonesia,
there are many problems concerning entrepreneurship. Some of them are the low interest of
entrepreneurship competence and the large number of unemployed persons. Entrepreneurship
competence is influenced by several factors, some of them are learning that is taught systematically
and the ability to use technology. Based on these reasons, there needs to be a research on the
increasing entrepreneurship competencies that are influenced by entrepreneurship education and the
ability to use digital technology. Quantitative approach was used in this research with its analysis
using Structural Equation Model (SEM). The instruments were in the form of questionnaire and the
respondents were vocational students. The results show that the influence of 21st century digital
skills and entrepreneurship education is significant on entrepreneurship academic competence. The
positive and significant effect of mediating entrepreneurship education shows that 21st century
digital skills need to be integrated in entrepreneurship education to increase entrepreneurship
competencies more effectively. |
