Developing learning and training within industry model to improve work readiness of vocational high school students
Get PDFUnemployment is still a national priority that needs to be addressed. In 2022,
vocational high schools in Indonesia had the highest open unemployment rate.
The highest open unemployment rate is a result of vocational high school
students’ insufficient work readiness. Therefore, this research aims to develop
a learning and training within industry (LTWI) model, and to evaluate the
model’s efficacy in increasing vocational high school students’ work
readiness. The research employed a research and development (R&D) design
by Richey and Klein with the phases of needs analysis, internal validation,
and external validation. There were 12 teachers and 89 students from the
automotive engineering department at Muhammadiyah 1 Pakem Vocational
High School and 1 Puring Vocational High School, as well as six instructors
from the automotive industry: GAS Auto Service, Automotive Jogjakarta
Center (OJC), Bengkel Barokah, and RND Auto Service, participated in the
research. Data collection strategies adopted were interviews, questionnaires,
and performance tests. The data were descriptively evaluated, and the
conclusions were drawn using a categorization formula. With an average
score of 3.43, the LTWI model can be used to learn very well. With an average
final score of 3.32, the efficacy of the LTWI learning model falls into the
category of “very good”. The LTWI model can be applied effectively to
learning in vocational high schools since it has a positive influence on
students’ work readiness
