Abstract

Technopreneurship skills play a crucial role to develop technology-based entrepreneurs during the industrial revolution 4.0 era, especially for vocational students. There have been many studies with the theme of technopreneurship, but it is hard to reveal technopreneurship skills based on the perceptions of vocational students during the Covid-19 outbreak. This study aims at developing an instrument to measure technopreneurship skills among vocational students. This study involved 240 students from state and private vocational high schools in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The data were collected through proportional random sampling with an online questionnaire. The questionnaire instrument was validated using Aiken’s V analysis technique and confirmatory factor analysis with AMOS software. This study showed that vocational students’ perceptions of technopreneurship skills were divided into five indicators, namely: entrepreneurial personal skills, technological adaptation skills, learning skills, business management skills, and collaborative and communication skills. The result of the Technopreneurship Skill Questionnaire consisted of 19 question items, i.e., entrepreneur personal skills (4 items), technological adaptation skills (5 items), learning skills (3 items), business management skills (4 items), and collaborative and communication skills (3 items). All items showed good validity and reliability results. These findings have implications for vocational education practitioners to make further improvements. The vocational practitioners, especially vocational entrepreneurship teachers, can utilize this questionnaire to evaluate students’ competencies in the field of technology entrepreneurship.
