Abstract

Conventional entrepreneurship education often overlooks local contextual relevance and social impact. This study investigates integrating ethnopedagogy into Project Based Learning (PjBL) to foster social entrepreneurship towards Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Employing Research and Development with Soft Systems Methodology, data were collected from 50 entrepreneurship alumni in Pahandut through questionnaires, observations, and tests. Quantitative analysis utilized paired t-tests and effect size calculations. Results indicated a significant improvement in social entrepreneurship spirit (effect size 1.964), with participants establishing local wisdom-based enterprises addressing unemployment and social issues. The study concludes that embedding ethnopedagogical elements within PjBL effectively transforms alumni into socially responsible entrepreneurs. This pedagogical innovation leverages local culture to achieve sustainable community development.
