| Summary: | As stated in the Malaysian Education Blueprint, one of the six primary attributes of student
aspirations is promoting students’ critical thinking skills. This attribute appreciates students who
have diverse views, are able to think critically and innovatively, have problem solving initiative
and an entrepreneurial mindset (Ministry of Education Malaysia, 2015). To meet these goals, an
employer-relations project was designed for critical analysis students (CRI2101) with The Picha
Project team, a social enterprise, to allow students to get hands-on experience on real-world
entrepreneurial struggles. Hence, this research focuses on the impact of employer-relations project
in social entrepreneurship on students’ learning. Students’ experience and application of problem
solving skills are also observed and measured. A mixed method evidence of students’ experiences
was collected from questionnaire, focus group and journal entries, in which the results suggest that
The Picha Project gives positive impact to students’ learning. Thus, this paper will provide
valuable information for instructors to implement social entrepreneurship projects in classrooms
in order to develop critical, innovative and socially responsible students |
