Abstract

The purpose of this research is to identify the students' interest in vocational schools as the dimension of being in a well-being model school. A questionnaire was used to measure students' subjective perceptions. Suitability Vocational interests are assessed using a standardized test known as a modified vocational interest scale from the SDS (Self-directed search). Eleven vocational schools in Indonesia, comprising of 362 students from the manufacturing program contributed in the survey. The computer-based statistical data analysis system was used to examine the raw data collection. The results showed that 49% of the students felt satisfied and enjoyed the learning process they followed at school. Considering the students' interest in the vocational school, which conforms to the personality typology, 41% of the students were confirmed positively. The two statistic figures suggest that when a student has strong motivation and has a high interest in the vocational school, they feel positive about the education process. Besides student also enjoy and follow the system accordingly. The development of well-being in school can then be shaped. This paper provides the implementation of a well-being model to cater to the education process, considering the conformance of students' interest in their selected course programs in vocational schools.

Summary

Introduction

Well-being at school is extremely important for the individual development of students and the vocational school. The conceptual model of well-being in schools is grounded from Allardt's theory of welfare. There are four dimensions, namely having (school conditions), loving (social relationships), being (means for selffulfillment), and health status [1]. This study focuses on one dimension, the dimension of being. Allard [1] formulated the cross-tabulation of being, with the objective and subjective indicators of well- person, where being refers to the students' needs for personal growth [1]. The students' relation identifies the objective indicators with society and nature. The subjective indicators include the students' feeling of alienation, personal growth, and enjoyment during the study process which needs to be identified by the teachers and other related parties
