Abstract

One of the biggest problems faced by developed countries in the world is concerned with the increase of unemployment from day to day. Lacks of building the entrepreneurial mindset among people in society may support the existing problem which can exacerbate the economic conditions in the developed countries nowadays. This study investigated the students’ entrepreneurial mindset seen from their opinions written down in their essay. A quantitative approach within a survey design was applied in the study. 50 students from English department of the Faculty of Letters, Universitas Negeri Malang (UM) and Universitas Dr. Soetomo Surabaya (Unitomo) were chosen to be the participants in the study. The study also used a questionnaire and a depth-interview as the instruments. The results showed that students’ creativities in writing essay about building the entrepreneurial mindset were low. It could be seen from the creativity aspects including curiosity, flexibility, and originality in finding and developing new ideas in their writings. And also, the students’ lacks of creativity were also influenced by their unwillingness to build and to do business due to some obstacles such as having no parents’ permissions, business skills and experiences, business relations, and having other plans of working referring to their background knowledge and titles gained. The study implies that entrepreneurial mindset actually can be the alternative topic to build the students’ creativities in writing essay which are beneficial not only for their writing skill improvement, but also for their thinking development in solving the problems about unemployment through being entrepreneurs in the future.

Abstract

The current study was aimed to investigate the cultural perspectives on online learning through the flipped learning activity to face the 4.0 industry era in Indonesia. Online learning has been a trend in education as the development of education in the world refers to the current situations due to the development of technology. The important thing needed to be considered is concerned with the strategy of providing the learning time allocation and using technology. The best alternative strategy to support online learning is conducting the flipped learning activity. However, it is not an easy matter since some cultural aspects in Indonesia can be great obstacles. That's why it is crucial to recognize the problems and find the solutions referring to the existing cultural dimensions. The results revealed that the way how the learners studied English through the online learning activities was mostly influenced by the cultural dimensions such as getting passive in the class, focusing on getting good grades, expecting the teachers’ dominations in the class, and getting fond of being given playful learning activities. Regarding this, some solutive efforts were also done by the teachers in the form of flipped learning activities leading the acts of building the classroom interactions through questioning and giving various tasks targetting to improve the generic capabilities. Hence, it is recommended that both the EFL teachers and learners can overcome the problems related to the existence and influence of the cultural dimensions by implementing the flipped learning activities to support the online learning activities conducted for reaching better academic achievements through the developments of their generic capabilities to face the 4.0 industry era.
