Abstract


Entrepreneurship is an important part of education in order to face challenges in the world of work and business. Project-based learning (PjBL) has been proven to be effective in improving students' conceptual understanding and practical skills in various disciplines. However, there has not been much comprehensive research on economic education. The purpose of this research is to determine how effective PjBL is in improving the involvement and entrepreneurial competence of students in economic education. Data collection was conducted using purposive sampling techniques, targeting economics education students. The sample consisted of 110 economics education students at PGRI Mpu Sindok University. Data analysis was performed using multiple regression analysis. The results indicated that the implementation of project-based learning significantly influenced entrepreneurial competencies, and student engagement significantly influenced entrepreneurial competencies. This study indicates that the use of creative learning approaches and active student involvement are crucial for improving the quality of economic education, particularly in fostering entrepreneurial awareness among Economics Education students. This research has implications for academic considerations, suggesting that PjBL serves as a practical curriculum model for economic education in shaping the entrepreneurial character of students. Post-graduation implications include students becoming self-reliant members of society and creating job opportunities for others.
