Abstract

The purpose of this study was the development of a chemoentrepreneurship based student worksheet (LKM) to increase the entrepreneurial interest in chemistry teacher candidates. The sample of this study was 115 students of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Riau and the State Islamic University (UIN) Sultan Syarif Kasim in the 6th semester of the 2019 academic year. The results obtained at the validation stage of MFI development were 95% with the valid category. The results of the small-scale test on the one-one test obtained an average percentage of 84.80% which was included in the very practical category. Furthermore, the lecturer response obtained an average percentage of assessment of 90.40% with the LKM category being well used in the learning process. The results of the small-scale trial assessment obtained an average percentage of the assessment of 85.16% which falls into the very practical category. The results of large-scale student assessments after using the LKM developed through filling out the student response questionnaires obtained an average score percentage of 80.63% with the practical category. The results of the increase in the entrepreneurial interest of UR students as a whole were 80.61, including the high category, and the results of the UIN students' interest in entrepreneurship as a whole were 81.64 including the very high category.

Highlights

Quoting data from BPS, in 2017 there has been an increase in the number of unemployed people in Indonesia by 10,000 to 7.04 million people in August 2017 from August 2016 of 7.03 million people
The increase in the number of unemployed is due to an increase in the workforce in Indonesia
The level of student interest in entrepreneurship is in the very high category. These results indicate that CEP-oriented learning has a positive impact in fostering student entrepreneurial interest (Sunarya, et al, 2018)

Summary

Introduction

Law number 12 of 2012 explains that higher education aims to develop the potential of students to become human beings who believe and fear God Almighty and have noble, healthy, knowledgeable, competent, creative, independent, skilled, competent, and cultured morals for the benefit of the nation, to produce graduates who master the branches of Science or Technology to meet national interests and increase the competitiveness of the nation. The goal of higher education has not been fully realized, because there are still a large number of undergraduates who are still unemployed. Quoting data from BPS, in 2017 there has been an increase in the number of unemployed people in Indonesia by 10,000 to 7.04 million people in August 2017 from August 2016 of 7.03 million people. The increase in the number of unemployed is due to an increase in the workforce in Indonesia. The unemployment rate reaches 7 million people or 5.33 percent (BPS, 2017)
