The Influence of Electric Motor Installation Trainer Assisted Learning Models and Achievement Motivation on the Skill Competence of Students in Vocational School 1 Sidoarjo

Abstract

This study aims to obtain information: (1) differencesin student learning outcomestaught using a project-based learning model assisted by an electric motor installation trainer and assisted by conventional media; (2) differences in student learning outcomes with high achievement motivation, compared to students with low achievement motivation; (3) the interaction between the use of electric motor installation trainers and achievement motivation on student skill competencies. The research design is a quasi-experimental design: the non-equivalent control group design. In this design, the experimental group and the control group were not randomly selected. As a measuring tool for competency achievement in this study, learning outcomes tools and instruments were made, which functioned as instruments to assess student skill competencies during the practicum learning process. The experimental treatment used a learning model based on a project assisted by an electric motor installation trainer and for conventional media assisted control classes. The study found: (1) skill competence for students who were taught with a project-based learning model assisted by electric motor installation trainers, was significantly higher than those assisted by conventional media; (2) skill competency for students with high achievement motivation is significantly higher than those with low achievement motivation; and (3) there is a significant interaction between the project-based learning model assisted by electric motor installation trainers and achievement motivation on student skill competencies.
