Interactive Learning Model in Vocational Education with Smart Board Technology

Abstract

Increasing the competence of graduates to work according to the demands of the development of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 is determined by the role of educators. The role of educators in terms of choosing to apply technological innovations into their learning with appropriate models / strategies, is considered to be a solution to increasing competence. The long-term goal of this research is to develop an innovative and flexible learning model based on Smart Classroom through the study of the development of an interactive learning model on technology education and vocational-based Smart Board Technology at Padang State University. This type of research is Research and Development, with development procedures using the 4D Development Model [4] consisting of: Define, Design, Develop and Disseminate. The model design was validated by 3 media experts with very high validity values; 87,35, through practicality testing on 36 students in the Department of Electronics Engineering, the Faculty of Engineering shows that learning through the use of IWB is more fun and interesting, and they claiming that it makes learning more fun and helps them understand difficult subjects. The developed model can be a solution to increase the competency of vocational education graduates through the application of technology innovation strategies into the offered learning
