Chatbot for Self-Regulated BGCE Learning: Effects of Visible-Design Thinking Integration on Creativity and Growth Mindsets in Entrepreneurship

The development of the Chatbot-Supported Making BGCE Thinking Visible (CS-MBTV) program is an important part of fostering the creativity, self-regulation, and growth mindset that students must have. High school students in Malang carry out the learning process by following five supporting modules on chatbot technology, supported by a learning process that follows a design thinking pattern. The study involved up to 120 high school students in Malang, divided into an experimental group (62 students) that participated in a series of CS-MBTV programs. In addition, the control group consisted of 58 students who did not receive special treatment. This study employed a quasi-experimental research design with a pretest and posttest to assess students over 12 weeks. The findings indicate that implementing chatbots can optimize student creativity and develop students’ mindsets. The current learning process cannot consistently reduce students’ fixed mindsets. Reflective learning can help students become aware of the need to continue developing and processing cognitive transitions throughout program implementation. The implications of this research can inform policy to improve entrepreneurship education programs and BGCE learning in schools, achieving greater impact.
