Teacher and Student Competence Improvement at SMK Muhammadiyah Karangkobar

Abstract. Vocational High School (SMK) is a Vocational High School that targets the formation of character and skills for its graduates. The learning system in Vocational Schools that includes practical material makes Vocational graduates ready to use and able to work and even create jobs. So that SMK graduates are targeted to be able to contribute to the local economy. Highly contradictory conditions were found at the Muhammadiyah Karangkobar Vocational School, Banjarnegara. Muhammadiyah Karangkobar Vocational School is still overwhelmed by the problem of limited learning support practice equipment. So far the practical Teaching and Learning Process (PBM) has only been carried out by watching videos due to the limited equipment and practical simulators available in schools. Occasionally PBM practices using the private vehicles of students/teachers who are willing to use their vehicles as practice media. This condition is still not optimal because the work done tends to be light work which does not adequately represent the material for the Department. This condition is of course not very good considering that the output of SMK students is skills that should be acquired through a structured and systematic practicum process. The solutions offered in these problems are, firstly, providing support equipment grants in practice, especially periodic maintenance of automotive light vehicles, and electric welding tools and bench work, and secondly, providing training to teachers and students of Muhammadiyah Karangkobar Vocational School on Machine Elements, supplemented with job sheets and preceded by the provision of material in advance. The Muhammadiyah Organization-Based Community Service Program (PPM-Muh) aims to increase the knowledge and skills of teachers and students of SMK Muhammadiyah Karangkobar in carrying out periodic service work and light vehicle tune-ups. The dedication method is carried out through the theoretical provision of engine maintenance through classroom learning, soft skills, demonstrations, and tune-up practical exercises. The targets of this training program are teachers and students of SMK Muhammadiyah Karangkobar.
