ABSTRACT

Practical skills are competencies that are needed by SMK graduates to improve the work readiness of SMK students. Learning achievement of practical skills can be improved by selecting the right learning model. The purpose of this study was to determine the application of the Explicit Instruction learning model for students of the Light Vehicle Engineering Skills Competency Vocational School (TKR) and to find out how much increased practical learning achievement of TKR Vocational School students after the application of the Explicit Instruction model. The research model is classroom action research (Classroom Action Research). The subjects of this study were students of SMK Muhammadiyah Bambanglipuro TKR Expertise Competence, amounting to 25 students. The data collection technique used was a test with a practical performance sheet instrument. The practice performance sheet is validated by industry experts. After being applied, the results of the practical exam assessment were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the Explicit Instruction learning model could be applied well by students of SMK Muhammadiyah Bambanglipuro TKR Expertise Competence. After the implementation of the Explicit Instruction learning model, there was an increase in the average score of the competency aspect of practical skill achievement in each research cycle. The aspect of work preparation in the first cycle is 1.44, the second cycle is 2.32 and the third cycle is 2.88. The competency aspect of work knowledge in the first cycle is 1.64, the second cycle is 2.24 and the third cycle 3. While the work skill competency aspect in the first cycle is 1.56, the second cycle is 1.8 and the third cycle is 3.16.

ABSTRACT

Technological developments in this modern era require changes in educational approaches to ensure that students have skills that are relevant to the needs of industry, especially electric vehicles. The research aims to develop an industrial integrated electric vehicle learning tool and test its feasibility. This research design adopts Richey and Klein's research and development (R&D) stages with development and internal validation stages. The research objects were carried out at four vocational schools in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and the Automotive Jogjakarta Center (OJC) with research subjects being teachers, experts and industrial practitioners. The resulting research is the competency aspects needed by the electric vehicle industry and the design of electric vehicle learning aids/Electric Vehicle Learning Simulator (EVLIS) that are feasible and ready to be made into product prototypes. EVLIS can help improve the attitude competency, knowledge and skills of electric vehicle technology for vocational school students. Not only that, the development of EVLIS involving the electric vehicle industry can strengthen collaboration/partnership between the industrial world and vocational schools.

ABSTRACT

Vocational schools need to start addressing unemployment right away since it is a serious issue. Work readiness is prepared with the demands of the industrial world in mind. The objective of this study is to create and evaluate industry-based integrated learning models for EVL+i, or electric vehicle auxiliary, subjects. The research and development (R&D) design used was Richey and Klein's design. This research involved 34 students, 6 teachers from the automotive engineering department of SMK Muhammadiyah 2 Tempel, and 4 professionals from the automotive industry. Practical performance tests and interviews were used as data collection methods. Based on the research results, it can be said that the EVL+i model was successfully developed and implemented in three stages of research. The EVL+i model can improve 6 aspects of competence of automotive vocational students, namely aspects of integrity competence, cooperation, discipline, work area knowledge, work completeness and time efficiency. The six aspects of competence have increased from the category of less good to very good with an average score of 1.82 in the limited trial and 3.72 in the extended trial.

ABSTRACT

This study aims to empirically examine the relationship between mindfulness, hope, and employability with subjective well-being in students of the Yogyakarta ATK Polytechnic. This study uses the dependent variable, namely subjective well-being and the independent variables, namely mindfulness, hope, and employability. This research method is a quantitative method with a Likert scale model and Semantic Differential as a data collection tool. The data analysis of this research is a multiple regression analysis technique with the help of the SPSS 21 program. The subjects of this study were students from the TPKP, TPK, TPPK study programs with the criteria of semester VI. The sampling technique using Quota Sampling technique. Based on the results of the analysis, it is known that mindfulness, hope, and employability have a very significant relationship with subjective well-being. Partially, each independent variable, namely mindfulness, hope, and employability, has a very significant relationship with subjective well-being. The conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship between mindfulness, hope, and employer with subjective well-being.

ABSTRACT

Graduate employability is a major focal point of higher education. Designing curricula that equip graduates with the skills and attributes necessary to gain and retain employment is a challenge for Universities worldwide. This article investigates the perception differential between students, academics, and industry professionals. The aim is to identify the relevant skills and attributes to facilitate the transition of mechanical engineering graduates from education to employment. The results establish an upper second-class degree as the most desirable qualification. Studying a professional-body accredited course and being a student member of a professional institution are seen as crucial, despite the latter not being recognised as such by students. Significant differences are identified in the importance of Information Technology skills and software packages, with an institutional bias identified amongst academics. Lastly, the key skills and attributes to secure graduate employment are determined, with striking differences between industry professionals and students, the former desiring a personal and professional attitude and professional conduct above all else, the importance of which is underestimated by students. The findings provide novel insights into employability skills for mechanical engineers, and it is envisaged they may contribute to aligning engineering curricula with employer expectations, allowing graduates and academics to identify key employability skills and attributes, and improving graduate employment.

ABSTRACT

Work-based learning (WBL) is an important tool for enhancing students' employability skills in vocational education and training. Many studies have underlined the importance of a variable of WBL, self-efficacy, and vocational identity in developing vocational students' employability skills. Nonetheless, the research is limited and examined separately. Therefore, this study investigates how WBL, self-efficacy, and vocational identity influence employability skills and how self-efficacy moderates between WBL and employability skills. Four hundred and three state university students in Yogyakarta were involved in the data collection. This study used structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis to test its hypothesis. The results of the study revealed that the implementation of WBL did not have a direct effect on employability skills; however, self-efficacy was able to moderate the relationship between WBL and employability skills. However, WBL directly influences vocational identity, which in turn directly influences employability skills, while self-efficacy also directly influences employability skills. This research has important implications for improving learning that can improve students' self-efficacy skills in an effort to build students' employability skills in vocational education and training.
