This study was conducted due to the lack of teachers' Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK). It examined the effects of teaching experience, training, facilities and infrastructure, self-efficacy, as well as motivation on teachers' TPACK. The descriptive and explanatory methods with quantitative approaches were employed. The population of this study included 472 economics teachers in the Greater Bandung area, while the respondents were 217 economics teachers selected using the proportional probability sampling technique. The instrument used to collect the data was tried out to forty economics teachers. The instrument validity was measured using the CVR formula, and the instrument reliability was tested using construct reliability. The data were collected by means of questionnaires and then analyzed using descriptive analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that the teachers' experience, training, facilities and infrastructure, self-efficacy, as well as motivation are at a low level. Likewise, the teachers' TPACK seems to be low. Moreover, it is found that teaching experience, training, facilities and infrastructure, self-efficacy, as well as motivation have positive effects on teachers' TPACK.
Global concern over environmental pollution has sparked the adoption of green business practices, which are essential for the sustainability of SMEs through green economy initiatives and renewable resources. This study aims to analyze the integration of circular and digital economy policies along with social protection policies in supporting green business innovation among culinary SMEs. By emphasizing the significance of government roles and innovation capabilities, the paper proposes that policies promoting environmentally friendly practices and social security can enhance sustainable performance in alignment with SDG principles. The study employs a quantitative approach, surveying 200 culinary SMEs in Surabaya City in Indonesia, a city known for its vibrant SME sector and commitment to sustainable practices. The data analysis, conducted using PLS-SEM through SmartPLS 4, reveals that circular economy policies (t-test = 6.503; p-value = 0.000) and social security (t-test = 3.848; p-value = 0.000) significantly enhance green business innovation, while digital economy policies are not significant (t-test = 0.725; p-value = 0.468). Furthermore, green business innovation positively impacts sustainable performance (t-test = 24.418; p-value = 0.000). However, internal innovation capabilities do not moderate the relationship between integrative policies and green business innovation. The findings indicate that government policies significantly influence green business innovation in MSMEs, particularly through circular economy regulations. Regulatory support and incentives are crucial for driving environmental sustainability and enhancing competitiveness. Strengthening digital economy policies through improved technology access and digital literacy will further support green innovation, while investments in internal innovation and human resources are vital for sustainable growth.

The environmental crisis has triggered green markets and eco-consciousness. Java is facing severe ecological stress. Ecopreneurship is then seen as a job creator and conservation tool. However, obstacles such as scarce resources remain among entrepreneurs. Universities play a crucial role in promoting eco-awareness and nurturing aspiring ecopreneurs. This study aims to analyze the role of three pillars of external support for education, government, and technology in self-efficacy and ecopreneurship intentions among Java Island students. This study involved 309 undergraduate (S1) students from state and private universities in Java in different specialization programs, based on the criteria, who attended and passed the entrepreneurship course program. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that eco-educational support was found to significantly enhance ecopreneurial self-efficacy, aligning with prior research emphasizing the importance of recognition, curriculum, industry collaboration, and business ecosystem in fostering self-efficacy. Similarly, eco-educational support positively influences ecopreneurial intention, reinforcing the significance of educational initiatives in promoting green business ventures. Governmental assistance, including financial aid and pro-environment policies, was identified as crucial in bolstering both self-efficacy and intention for ecopreneurship. Moreover, the support of information technology positively affects self-efficacy and intention, indicating its role in facilitating access to resources and fostering confidence among aspiring ecopreneurs. The study also highlighted the mediating role of self-efficacy, suggesting its importance in bridging external support with entrepreneurial intentions. Overall, the findings underscore the importance of holistic support systems in cultivating a generation of environmentally conscious entrepreneurs.

This study aims to analyze the model for measuring the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education carried out in tertiary institutions by taking into account the variables that influence it. The variables identified in this study are Entrepreneurship Learning Effectiveness, Entrepreneurial Barriers, Entrepreneurial Competence, and Entrepreneurial Intentions/Interests. This research is quantitative research with an explanatory survey method. The research design used a survey (descriptive and correlational). The tool used to test the relationship between variables is the Structural Equation Model (SEM). The population of this study was students of the University of Education Indonesia who were still actively studying, totaling 27,082 students. The sample in this study was selected using Nonprobability Sampling. The sampling technique chosen in Nonprobability Sampling is a purposive sampling technique, which is a sampling technique for data sources with certain considerations. The criteria used are UPI Bandung students who are currently or have taken entrepreneurship courses in every faculty at UPI. With the sampling technique using the Solvin formula, a sample of 394 people was obtained spread over several academic units. The results show that with the Triangle approach the effectiveness of entrepreneurship learning in universities in Indonesia is positively influenced by entrepreneurial competencies and entrepreneurial intentions, negatively influenced by entrepreneurial barriers. This finding implies that to increase the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education in higher education, it is necessary to increase entrepreneurial competence and entrepreneurial intention among students. This can be done through entrepreneurship education by the increasing practice where students not only learn theory but directly enter the world of entrepreneurship, so they can be motivated to set up new businesses. In addition, sharing experiences with practitioners also needs to be improved because it can change the mindset of students to become entrepreneurs.
