The implementation of block-system learning on the expertise competence of automotive lightweight vehicle engineering in vocational high school

Abstract

The objective of this study was to understand the following: (1) the effectiveness of block system learning to student learning outcomes. (2) the diffrences in student learning outcomes between those who use block and non-blok learning system in public vocational high schools in Batang District. This study includes a type of descriptive quantitative research with a survey approach. Data were collected through observation, interview, and documentation. The population is the whole school vocational high schools in Batang District. This research uses purposive sampling consisting of three vocational high schools. The result showed that: (1) the effectiveness of block system learning in vocational high school in Batang District can be seen of the result students that average value of expertise competency test (UKK) has meet the minimal completeness criteria (KKM) specified by the school at 75.00. In SMK Negeri 1 Warungasem, the average UKK value in the 2017/2018 academic year was 76.83, increasing to 82.32 in the 2018/2019 academic year with an increase of 5.4.

Discrepancy Evaluation Model on Certification Competency Test Implementation of Vocational High School

“…The results of the certification competency test from students will be an indicator of achievement of graduate competency standards, while for stakeholders it will be used as information on the competencies of prospective workers. The implementation of the competency certification test still needs to be improved, namely on the indicators of technological progress that are used during the implementation of the competency test so that it can be adjusted to the existing technology in the industry today (Burhan & Arifin, 2020;Setyaningrum & Purwati, 2020).…”

Learning innovation on Mechanical Engineering vocational education in the new normal era

“…Class management is carried out by considering the competencies that will be achieved in learning (Cristea, 2015). some schools implemented a block system in practical learning as well, as in a preliminary study, several schools implemented a block system in practical learning in the pandemic era (Burhan & Arifin, 2020). The results of the research found in Table 4 state that in the implementation of offline theory and practice learning the teacher chose to use a half-class system with student restrictions and combined it with online classes with the rest of the students who did not practice offline.…”

Industry-Oriented Experiential Learning Model to Enhance Vocational High School Students' Job Readiness

“…Of these, graduates from Vocational High Schools (SMK) contributed the highest number of unemployed, namely 9.42%. This statement is inversely proportional to the purpose of SMK which is held to create a ready-to-use workforce according to their field of expertise (Burhan & Arifin, 2020;Lawitta et al, 2017). The high unemployment rate for SMK graduates is the impact of the low work readiness of SMK students (Afriadi et al, 2018;Sudarsono, 2022;Syofyan, 2022).…”
