Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Praktik Berbasis Collaborative Skill Sebagai Upaya Peningkatan Mutu Pendidikan Tinggi Vokasi

Abstract

This study aims to: (1) discover a collaborative skills-based learning model for practical work invocational education programs which can improve the quality of learning outcomes; (2) determine the effect ofthe application of collaborative skills-based learning model for practical work towards the students’ attitude andlearning outcome. This R&D and experiments research was carried out in manufacturing industry of machiningfield in Yogyakarta, and in the Mechanical Engineering Department of Faculty of Engineering, Yogyakarta StateUniversity. The population being studied was all of Diploma students of Mechanical Engineering study programwho enrolled in Complex Machining Processes course. Research sample of 33 students, divided in two groups,were determined by purposive sampling technique. The experiment was carried out by posttest-only controldesign. Content validation was done by expert judgment and items reliability with Alpha Cronbach formula andKR-20. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and t-test, with significance level of 0.05. The resultsshow that: (1) The collaborative skills-based learning model for practical work is suitable to be implemented inorder to improve the quality of learning outcomes in practical work; (2) The students’ attitude and learningachievement of the model class is better, or higher, than the controlled class.
