Abstract
Electric Vehicle (EV) Technology is part of sustainable energy initiatve and can be a solutin for the efforts of overcoming the gasoline scarcity. The presence of this technology has started to change the map of the garage shop business and also the educational communication system, as having been found in the learning ompetencies of Light Automotive Vehicle Engineering and Motorcycle Business Enginering on the State Vocational High School 7 located in the Regency of Tangerang. Although the educational communication has been termed as instructional communication, it is difficult for the teachers to approach the students so that the students are able to adopt and embrace the EV innovation. Therefore, through the present quantitative study, the influence of the teachers’ approaching obstacle on the adoption of the electric technology innovation among the State Vocational High School 7 located in the Regency of Tangerang is measured by using the Theory of Information Dissemination (Adoption of Innovation) by Everett Rogers and the Model of Group Interaction (Robert Bales) with 123 respondents as the participants in the study. During the study, the variables were measured by using the Likert Scale Technique and, at the same time, the validity test was performed by using the Product Moment Correlation. Furthermore, the reliability test were performed by using the Cronbach’s Alpha Formula with the assistance from SPSS 24. Last but not the least, the inter-variable correlation test was performed by using the multiple linear regression whle the F-test, the t-test, and the normality test were performed by using the Shapiro Formula. The results of the study show that : (1) the type and the quantity of the approach implemented by the teachers within the study have significant influence on the adoption of electric vehicle technology innovation among the students of State Vocational High School 7; (2) the type and the quantity from the influence of the teachers’ approaching obstacle on the adoption of electric technology innovation among the students of State Vocational High School 7 has ranged from significantly influential until not influential; and (3) there are various model of teachers’ approaching that have been implemented in dealing with the obstacles on the adoption of the electric vehicle technology innovation among the State Vocational High School 7s.
Highlights
According to the Theory of InformationDissemination (Adoption of Innovation) by Everett Rogers (Littlejohn & Foss, 2009, pp.456)[1] (Dearing, 2008)[2], there are many factors that influence the process of innovation diffusion namely: (a) interpersonal influence; and (b) contacts with the agent of innovation from outside the group
In an automotive exhibition named the Gaikindo International Indonesia Auto Show (GIIAS) at July 2019, the scooter-type electric vehicle (EV) was put on the gallery
The turn involves, certainly, the educational institusions such as State Vocational High School 7s in the Regency of Tangerang as an institution that educates the human resources for the EV technology use in the future
Summary
According to the Theory of InformationDissemination (Adoption of Innovation) by Everett Rogers (Littlejohn & Foss, 2009, pp.456)[1] (Dearing, 2008)[2], there are many factors that influence the process of innovation diffusion namely: (a) interpersonal influence; and (b) contacts with the agent of innovation from outside the group. Are the two theories able to assist the measurement and the explanation of the solution to the problems exposed by the influence of the teachers’ approaching obstacle on the adoption of the electricification vehicle technology adoption among the students of State Vocational High School 7 the Regency of Tangerang?. The above question is urgent to answer, recaling the fact that the electric vehicle (EV) has been one of the solutions for overcoming the gasoline scarcity for the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)-type machines (or the conventionally-engineered machines) (Atheef, Rooney, & Dilip, 2018)[5] and has become the part of the sustainable energy technology. The turn involves, certainly, the educational institusions such as State Vocational High School 7s in the Regency of Tangerang as an institution that educates the human resources for the EV technology use in the future
