Abstract: The unemployment rate for high education graduates has been increasingly worrying, especially in Indonesia. One of the reasons is the graduates' ability to survive, character and competence of entrepreneurship, which are still low. This paper aims to explore and explain the needs analysis of entrepreneurial learning in higher vocational education which is important at early stage of learning. The respondents of this research were 30 students from universities that have an entrepreneurial vision in West Sumatra. Data analysis was done by descriptive statistic analysis and differential item functioning (DIF) by Rasch analysis. The results obtained were there is generally no entrepreneurial learning model specifically used in learning in higher education, very little entrepreneurial learning taught oriented towards products and commercial potential and not adopted the technological elements. In general, respondents strongly agree if there is a model of entrepreneurial learning, such as the technopreneurship scientific learning model in higher education.
