Abstract

This article discusses the concept meaning, purpose, nature of participatory action research (Participatory action research) and includes relevant participatory action research. The study also covers the concept meaning of creative entrepreneurs. The objective is to conduct participatory research for the development of potential entrepreneurs. The content is presented as a hierarchy of participatory action research processes, namely, 1) Steps of contextual study, 2) Steps of problem solving, 3) Steps of research planning, 4) Steps of monitoring and improvement, and 5) Steps of research conclusion. The concept of creativity is used in the analysis of participatory action research to develop creative entrepreneurial potential. Participatory action research is a method of ideological research with its unique way of conduct, which requires the researcher to learn and understand thoroughly. Everyone is involved in every step of the deal from determining the problem, selecting a data collection method, data analysis, data validation and deciding to follow the plan and analyze the performance. This is a research approach that can develop the potential of creative entrepreneurs as well as those involved. Finally, we propose a participatory action research approach to develop creative entrepreneurship.
