Learning process analysis based on industrial products in mechanical practices

Abstract

Revitalization of vocational education must be designed and developed according to the needs of industry through appropriate learning innovations. The selection of the right learning method influences the graduate competencies and learning experiences of students. This study aims to analyze the learning process based on industrial products in mechanical practices. The analysis of the learning process includes giving aperceptions and motivation, mastering learning materials, learning strategies implementation, learning resources or media, involving students, and closing the learning process. The research method used experimental with a static group comparasion design. The design of this study used two groups consist of experimental and control group. Experimental group is respondents who used industrial products-based learning and control group is respondents who used conventional learning (job sheet-based). The sampling used simple random sampling method. Each group consist of 20 respondents. The research respondents were students of the Mechanical Engineering Department Universitas Negeri Semarang who have passed the Mechanical Process I lesson. The study result is there are differences in the mechanical practices process using industrial products-based learning and conventional learning (job sheet-based). Implementation of learning in relation to the gift of apperception and motivation, mastery of learning materials, application of learning strategies, assembling of learning resources or learning media, participation of students in learning process, and closing the learning process is better to use the industrial products-based learning compare with conventional learning
