Abstract

Inquiry-based learning is an approach that emphasizes students’ active involvement in the learning process through inquiry and exploration. In Vocational High Schools (SMK), there is an urgent need to improve students’ critical thinking, problem-solving, and technical skills to harmonize with the demands of the world of work. However, the effectiveness of the implementation of inquiry learning in vocational schools is still diverse and requires a comprehensive study. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of inquiry learning in vocational schools through a meta-analysis approach to the results of previous research. Literature searches were conducted through Google Scholar with the keywords “inquiry learning,” “inquiry learning,” “vocational schools,” and “learning outcomes” in the 2019-2024 publications. Inclusion criteria include experimental research with control groups, vocational school student subjects, and complete post-test data. The selection process resulted in 30 studies that met the criteria. The extracted data included the mean and standard deviation post-test of both groups. The analysis uses Cohen’s effect size formula to calculate the impact of inquiry learning. The results showed an effect size of 1.0, which indicated a significant influence of inquiry learning on the learning achievement of vocational school students, especially in understanding concepts and practical skills. However, implementation challenges include limited time, resources, and teacher readiness. It is concluded that inquiry learning is efficacious in improving the learning outcomes of vocational students but requires an implementation strategy that considers contextual factors.

Abstract

This research aims to improve students' ability to dismantle vehicle alarm systems through the implementation of Problem Based Learning (PBL) model based on Experiential Learning in Light Vehicle Engineering class XII. The research method used was Classroom Action Research (CAR) with 3 cycles, each cycle consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were 30 students of class XII Light Vehicle Engineering at SMK Negeri 1 West Sumatra. Data collection was carried out through observation, tests, and documentation. The results showed an increase in students' dismantling ability from cycle I (68.5%), cycle II (75.2%), to cycle III (83.7%). The PBL model based on Experiential Learning effectively improves students' practical skills through direct experience, reflection, conceptualization, and Active Experimentation. This research concludes that the PBL model based on Experiential Learning can be an effective alternative in learning vehicle alarm system dismantling.
