Abstract
The paradigm of learning science, especially biology, has now undergone a shift, which is more oriented towards scientific transformation in real world life. Biological content that is learned not only becomes knowledge, but also directed at the utilization of the potential possessed by the content for real life. Therefore, in this paper the author examines the results of research on the development of student lifelong learning, especially Habits of Mind during the taking part in plant diversity course with entrepreneurship-oriented inquiry learning programs. This research involved 31 of 5th semester undergraduate students in biology Education Department in one teachers college in Central Java. The data are taken by rubrics adapted from the Marzano framework. Moreover, the data are taken by observation in learning process too. The results showed that the average Habits of Mind score of students had developed, the data collected before being given the program was 2.69; and the data after being given the program is 3.27 from a total score of 4.00. The data is reinforced by the findings of observation activities during the learning process. Students usually do experiments with one type of work together, even just focus on the core activities, so they become inefficient. After taking several lectures with this program, they can plan neatly before conducting the experiment, can arrange proportional strategies for group assignment, and become more sensitive to feedback. Another finding is that they will always take careful measures (not impulsively), work tenaciously to find solutions even to the end of their knowledge, and finally each student has their self standard of work. Thus, it can be concluded that entrepreneurship-oriented inquiry learning programs applied to the plant diversity course can develop student-s Habits of Mind well.
