Improvement of Metacognitive and Critical Thinking Skills through Development of the a ‘Teaching Factory Based on Troubleshooting (TEFA-T) Model in Automotive Vocational Learning

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to ascertain whether there had been any improvement in students' metacognitive and critical thinking skills through the development of the 'Teaching Factory Based on Troubleshooting' (TEFA-T) model in automotive vocational learning. The research had both quantitative and qualitative components and applied the 4D procedures, viz define, design, develop and disseminate. The subjects for the control and experimental groups were 32 students, and each was each group used an effectiveness test. The results showed that the TEFA-T learning model carried out the novelty value of the model syntax using the following activity steps: (1) identifying product problems, (2) defining the product problems, (3) generating and selecting several alternative solutions, (4) designing solving techniques, (5) ordering work contracts, (6) designing a product work schedule, (7) executing orders, (8) quality control, and (9) assessment. The test results showed that the TEFA-T Learning Model is valid using the Aiken'V formula and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structure Equation Modeling (SEM), with a Chi-Square and x 2 /df values of 219.76 and 0.8292, used to determine the model fit test (goodness-of-fit models). Furthermore, the practicality test declared it "Very Practical" with an average score of 4.56 and an Achievement of 90.02%. In conclusion, using the TEFA-T learning model to improve students' academic achievement, metacognitive, and critical thinking skills appeared to be effective (Sig. 2tailed value is less than 0.05).

Effectiveness of Digital-Based COVID-19 Prevention Supplement Books to Empower High School Students' Scientific Literacy and Critical Thinking Skills

“…There have been many relevant studies that have tried to develop supplemental or enrichment books and have been able to improve students' critical thinking skills. In line with the research results obtained, the development of enrichment books can improve students' critical thinking skills significantly (Maksum et al, 2022) (Retnowati et al, 2020). The concept of critical thinking involves students in the knowledge construction process through reflection and deep thinking.…”

Pengembangan Media Pembelajaran Berbasis Multimedia Interaktif pada Mata Pelajaran Pemeliharaan Sistem Kelistrikan di Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan

“…Oleh sebab itu Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) bersama seluruh warga sekolah baik guru maupun peserta didiknya harus bergerak maju untuk menuju kearah tersebut, paling tidak mempunyai dasar kompetensi sesuai dengan bidang atau spesialisasi kompetensi yang digelutinya selama ini. Sebagai salah satu lembaga formal, SMK memiliki tugas serta tanggung jawab mendidik dan melatih peserta didik agar mempunyai pemahaman serta keterampilan terhadap kompetensi yang di ampunya sehingga lulusan SMK mampu dan siap berkerja sesuai kebutuhan Industri dan Dunia Kerja (IDUKA) [2].…”

The improvement students learning achievement by applying work based learning combined with teaching factory concept

“…The development of the WBL model was initiated based on the process outlined by (Baker et al, 2017). Additionally, the formulation of the Teaching Factory drew inspiration from the models proposed by (Maksum et al, 2022) and (Mavrikios et al, 2018). The WBL-TEFA learning approach seamlessly integrates theoretical learning with practical application within a unified learning system.…”
