Developing Lean Manufacturing Based Learning Model to Improve Work Skills of Vocational Students

Abstract

The low absorption of the workforce in the vocational high school graduates indicates their lack of expertise and competency. It urges to improve their work skills to meet the demand of work. This research aims at developing a Lean-based learning model to enhance the work skills of vocational high school students. This research categorized as development research uses the modified Borg and Gall method. The Lean-based learning model was tested through three stages, namely its validity, effectiveness and practicality. Respondents of the research are vocational high school students, vocational high school teachers and industry practitioners in Indonesia. The model was validated by some experts and FGD results. The effectiveness of the model was tested by an experimental with a posttest only control group design. The population of the experiment was students of the Vocational High School who were doing an industrial experience in some industries, which followed a work shadowing strategy, the sample is chosen by random sampling; data were collected to develop a performance test. Two questionnaires were used to evaluate the practicability of the model according to the perceptions of the teachers and students of the Vocational High School. Based on the research, the developed learning model can be categorized as "good" in case of its validity, effectiveness, and practicality. It means that the lean-based learning model is valid, effective and practical. The conclusion of research is that lean learning model is one of the alternatives to improve work skills competency among vocational high school students to fulfill the industrial demand.

Synectic HOTS Oriented: Development of Teaching Materials for High School Physics Learning

“…Likewise [8] who conducted a higher order thinking needs analysis in learning. This is in line with the study of the development of media and teaching materials, among others [27] which has developed a learning model to improve job skills. At the same time, [28] also developed PISA-based student worksheets to improve students' problem skills.…”

The Design of Android-Based Interactive Lean Manufacturing Application to Increase Students' Work Skill in Vocational High School: The Development and Validity

“…Effective and efficient work competence is determined by two inseparable aspects, namely hard skills and soft skills. Soft skills play an important role in career and social life [2] [3]. Soft skills also affect hard skills so that they will be more flexible and positive in meeting the expectations of the world of work [2] [4].…”

“…Soft skills play an important role in career and social life [2] [3]. Soft skills also affect hard skills so that they will be more flexible and positive in meeting the expectations of the world of work [2] [4]. Soft skills and hard skills are part of work skills, it has to manage maximally in the school.…”

Development of Mobile Learning Media (MLM) to Enchance Students’ Understanding of CNC Programming Subjects

“…CNC programming is one of the main parts of mechanical engineering vocational education [3]. Currently, CNC programming competence is a major indicator of needs in the manufacturing industry [4]. CNC programming learning emphasizes on increasing the efficiency of learning tools with the aim of improving students' skills and abilities [5].…”

“…The Industrial Revolution 4.0 requires a vocational education curriculum to adapt to real competencies and conditions in the workplace [2], [7]- [9]. This of course makes educators in the vocational education environment have to be able to develop their competencies and skills in order to fulfill the competence of graduates [4], [10]. One method of developing student competence is to determine learning strategies [11]- [14].…”
