Data processing has been done by the Shannon entropy. The main findings of the research indicate that in the high school humanities curriculum, “emphasis on importance of job, occupation and entrepreneurship” with a frequency distribution of 547 (55.7%) and “participation and cooperation” with a frequency distribution of 75 (7.6%) were the most frequent and “importance and value of endeavor and effort” with a frequency distribution of 5 (0.5%) and “legitimate and licit income” with a frequency distribution of 8 (0.8%) were the least frequent parameters. In terms of coefficient of importance, “fighting economic poverty” and “knowledge of economic precepts in Islam” with the coefficients of respectively 0.1.01 and 0.098 were the most important and “knowledge of the concept of inflation” and “participation and cooperation” with the coefficients of respectively 0.011 and 0.013 with were the least important parameters.
