Abstract

Several economic historians have argued about the beneficial combination of history and entrepreneurship. This is a quantitative comparative research to determine the effectiveness of economic history in encouraging students’ entrepreneurial intention (EI). Theory of Planned Behavior on the entrepreneurship intention used as the theoretical framework to examine the way of history influenced entrepreneurial intention. Two random groups of students were compared to measure the difference between them as the result of economic history learning that integrated on the Indonesia History subject in the tertiary grade school. The results of the study showed that existed significant differences between both groups as the result of treatment on the experimental group. The Independent T-Test result showed that EI statistical analysis (sig. 2-tailed) valued 0.043 or below than 5% significance level. Based on the study, the entrepreneurial intention model that derived from Theory of Planned Behavior has empirically proved as explanatory framework to explain determinant factors that affect entrepreneurial intention.
