This study examines the effectiveness of the heutagogy approach in learning digital entrepreneurship for learners of intermediate-level equivalency programs at Community Learning Centres (CLCs) or Pusat Kegiatan Belajar Masyarakat (PKBM). This research used a parallel group experimental design involving 40 learners that naturally divided into control and experimental groups. Both groups received the same material in an equal amount of time but with different learning approaches: the control group used conventional direct learning methods, while the experimental group followed heutagogy-based learning. Learning outcomes were evaluated through knowledge measurement using the same instrument, and differences between groups were analyzed using the ANCOVA parametric statistical test, taking into account covariates to increase the validity of the analysis. The results showed that the group that followed the heutagogy approach experienced a significant increase in learning outcomes compared to the control group. The questionnaire results reinforced findings, which revealed that heutagogy-based learning increased learners' awareness of learning needs, independence, and self-reflection. This research confirms that the heutagogy approach is efficacious in improving the cognitive aspects of learning and encourages the development of character and independent learning competencies that are very important in non-formal education.
