Validity, practicality, and effectiveness: The last step in development of entrepreneurship education based role-playing for kindergarten

Abstract
Early childhood education plays an essential role in the development of children as a whole. For this reason, a primary and actual educational program is needed to prepare them for growing up. One of them is by introducing entrepreneurship education at the preschool level. This research is the final part of a research and development project to test whether the role-playing-based
entrepreneurship education model developed is valid,
practical, and effective. The research was conducted at the
Islamic Kindergarten Cendikia Al Izhar Makassar, South
Sulawesi, Indonesia. Furthermore, several groups of
participants involved in this study were two experts, 2
Early Childhood Education (ECE) teachers, and 15 children. Data collection was carried out using: (1) device validation sheets, (2) teacher activity observation sheets, (3)
children’s activity sheets, (4) teacher response
questionnaires, and (5) teacher response questionnaires.
The collected data were then analyzed using quantitative
methods by calculating the average value of this
educational model’s level of validity, practicality, and
effectiveness. Based on the results of the study, it can be
stated that the role-playing-based entrepreneurship
education model for ECE children is proven valid, practical,
and effective. This means that this educational model can
be applied in the education system at the preschool level to
acquire entrepreneurial knowledge and skills from an early
age.
