Local potency mapping-project using iMindMap

Abstract

The results of previous studies confirm that there are several learning models that have the potential to improve students' competencies in reviewing Creative Products and Entrepreneurship Products (PKK). Through iMindmap media presented by the teacher, students of Vocational Middle School (Vocational School) have the opportunity to develop project scenarios based on local potential using a business map. This experimental study aims to determine the effectiveness of the mapping-project learning model by using iMindmap based on local potential media to improve the competency of student entrepreneurship. The mapping-project instrument was developed by researchers and validated by experts. The results indicate that the mapping-project learning model using iMindmap based on local potential could improve student competence in analyzing business opportunities using analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats (SWOT), and designing prototypes of superior products based on local potential using a business map. This study recommends that with the mapping-project model, students' ability to explore Creative Products and Entrepreneurship Products material becomes more profound, meaningful, and student-centered. Future research is needed to analyze the contribution of mapping-projects using iMindmap media on exact lessons.
