Abstract

Background: Industrial Work Placement (PKL) is a mandatory course for Vocational High School (SMK) students involving practical activities in relevant industries. A significant gap persists between the competencies students have mastered and the professional standards required by the automotive industry. Objective: This study aims to identify the competency standards required for automotive engineering (TKRO) students to perform effectively during industrial work placement, in accordance with automotive industry requirements. Methodology: This research employed a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with nine purposively selected automotive workshop managers in Surakarta, Indonesia. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014). Findings: To successfully execute tasks in the automotive industry, internship students must possess a triad of competencies: (1) general competencies (soft skills) including occupational health and safety, industrial culture, and work environment maintenance; (2) specific/technical competencies (hard skills) covering inspection and maintenance of engines, power transmission, electrical, and body electrical systems; and (3) automotive-specific supporting competencies related to digital literacy and modern automotive technology. Practical Implications: The findings provide a concrete reference for vocational curriculum design and student preparation before industrial placement, particularly in the context of Indonesia’s automotive vocational education

Abstract

This study aims to determine the increase in learning activeness of Sebelas Maret University students in the mechanical engineering education study program through the implementation of a flipped learning model in the combustion engine lecture. This research is classroom action research. The action taken is to apply the flipped learning model in the combustion engine lecture. The subjects of this study were 42 students in the second semester of the mechanical engineering education study program. This classroom action research design refers to the Kemmis and Taggart model. The research was conducted in three cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data collection was done through observation, interviews, and documentation. The instrument validity test was carried out with construct validity using expert opinions. Data analysis was carried out in a comparative-descriptive way. The results of this classroom action research show that implementing the flipped learning model can increase the learning activeness of students in the combustion engine lecture. In the pre-cycle stage, student learning activeness only reached 45.24% of active learning students. In cycle 1, by implementing a flipped learning model, students learning activeness reached 81.99%, cycle 2 increased to 87.43%, and cycle 3 increased to 91.74%.  The conclusion of this research is that the implementation of the flipped learning model can increase the learning activeness of the mechanical engineering education study program Sebelas Maret University students in the combustion engine lecture. Based on the results of this research, it is highly recommended to use the flipped learning model in lectures, especially in vocational education, increasing student learning activeness will have an impact on increasing student learning achievement.
