RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
Education Background of Craft and Entrepreneurship Teacher The education background of teacher becomes main constraint in implementing craft and entrepreneurship education.
It is in line with the result of interview with Vice-Headmaster of SMA N 66 Jakarta stating that: AuOur biggest constraint is that we do not have pure entrepreneurship teacher.
It is the biggest constraint, while other constraints can be solved, for example, we can deal with the processingrelated learning by discussing it with the division.
The presence of entrepreneurship officer will make it The school lacks of entrepreneurship teacher, so that entrepreneurship subject is assumed by the teachers with no entrepreneurship background.
To deal with such the problem, every teacher holds discussion before delivering material to the studentsAy.
The result of interview with the craft and entrepreneurship subject shows that a teacher said AuI have Japanese language education background but I am asked for teaching Entrepreneurship.
I think it is very far away from my education background.
then I have prior mindset that entrepreneurship is only limited to trading and I do not have trading ability and experience.
The learning conducted is consistent with teacherAos ability so that I deliver material of textile craft.
It is confirmed by the second teacher saying that Authe biggest problem is my chemistry education background, so that any time we come to the new material or chapter.
I should think hard related to the material I should deliver to the students.
To deal with it.
I search for material via internet and sometimes the material in internet is different from that in textbookAy.
The students respond to the craft and entrepreneurship subject as follows: AuYeah, it is less clear.
then I think that the teacher understands poorly what the entrepreneur is, so we should explore ourselves to get the meaning of entrepreneur.
and the class makes us bored because the learning process delivers theory only and learning process is developed inadequately.
Overall, the result of interview shows that the education background of entrepreneurship teacher at school is varying from physics, chemistry, mathematics, to Guiding and Counseling teachers.
There is no entrepreneurship subject teacher with education background so that its learning development is adjusted with the ability of corresponding teacher.
The effect of varying education background is that the students consider that the teachers cannot develop craft and entrepreneurship subject.

Entrepreneurship values are integrated into learning sets .
yllabus and learning implementation plan/RPP).
Independency, creativity, risk taking, leadership, action-orientation and work hard are main values of entrepreneurship integrated into all subjects.
The learning implementation plan is the plan describing learning procedure and organization to achieve a basic competency specified in standard content and elaborated in syllabus .
The components of RPP are at least consisted of: learning objective, material, method, source, and outcome evaluation.
This implementation plan becomes a guideline for teacher in teaching-learning process.

The craft and entrepreneurship education values can be integrated into learning set and can be implemented by every subject teacher through connecting the material to craft and entrepreneurship.

This prior thinking is related to my assumption about entrepreneurship that wastes time only.
Having attended Student Company extracurricular activity.
I feel that entrepreneurship is important and can equip me with the skill after I am graduated from Senior High SchoolAy.
Then teacher of craft and entrepreneurship subject informs that Authere is a very prominent difference between students attending entrepreneurship extracurricular activity and those not.
the students attending are more active and understand the entrepreneurship better because they are built by an institution operating in entrepreneurship fieldAy.
In addition to through integration, the Craft and Entrepreneurship Education subject in Senior High School is the program of identifying entrepreneurship concept, developing entrepreneurship value, practicing business development, obtaining practical experience with entrepreneurship, growing an interest in being entrepreneur, and developing entrepreneurship potency .

This entrepreneurship program should also be developed corresponding to the schoolAos potency, so that the program implemented can run effectively and achieve the target appropriately.
