The Influence of Covid-19 on The Implementation of Industrial Work Practices of Building Engineering Students of SMK N 1 West Sumatra

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the magnitude of the influence of COVID-19 on the implementation of Industrial Work Practices of Building Engineering students of SMK N 1 SUMBAR. This research included quantitative research associative approach. The population of this study was students of class XI Building Engineering, which amounted to 50 students. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires. The questionnaire was used to measure COVID-19 variables and Industrial Work Practices. Instrument testing was carried out at SMK N 1 SUMBAR on grade XI students of the Mechatronics Expertise Program totaling 30 students. The data analysis techniques used are prerequisite analysis tests, namely normality tests and linearity tests, and hypothesis tests used are simple regression analyses. The results showed that there was an objective and significant influence of COVID-19 on the implementation of Industrial Work Practices of Building Engineering Students of SMK N 1 SUMBAR where the value of r xy was 0.499, the coefficient of determination (r² _xy) was 0.249 and t _{was calculated} (3.771) > t _table (1,677). Based on the coefficient of determination (r² _xy) 0.249, it means that 24.9% of students' Industrial Work Practices are affected by COVID-19, while the remaining 75.1% are affected by other factors.
