The Implementation of Edupreneurship Based on Local Wisdom in Primary School as an Effort to Prepare Indonesian Golden Era

Abstract

Edupreneurship based on local wisdom was considered as a solution for answering global challenges in primary schools to prepare golden generation. This concept is expected to form productive character, capable of creating chances, like challenge, self-contained, and having the unyielding spirit as an entrepreneur. This concept does not make students as an entrepreneur or a humanist, but to make student an entrepreneur who love Indonesian culture. But it could not be neglected if in the future there will be students who want to be an entrepreneur. Theoretically there is only little number of sources that examines this concept, practically it started to be implemented in the Primary School Pilot Laboratory UPI Tasikmalaya as one of teaching center in Tasikmalaya. Therefore, researcher tried to assess the development and shape implementing this concept through a descriptive qualitative research. Triple Helix ABG (Academician, Businessmen, and Government) approach was believed as the most appropriate way to realize this idea. Triple Helix ABG approach became connector between academicians (Intellectuals), creative business people (Businessman), and government (Government) to implement Edupreneurship based on local wisdom. A relationship, mutual support, and symbiotic mutualism between these three actors will determine the improvement of primary school quality to be solid, sustainable, and able to answer the challenges of globalization to prepare Indonesian golden era.
