Applying Psychomotor Domain for Competency Based Teaching in Vocational Education

Abstract

Teaching is a teaching-learning activity between two different parties, namely, students and instructors. Teaching strategies are used by instructors in teaching sessions. Practical teaching requires paying attention to the application of all teaching strategies in the psychomotor domain. Psychomotor domains that need to be emphasized in teaching and learning processes should include seven elements, namely, perception, setup, controlled movement, mechanism, specific movement, settlement, and originality. This study aims to discuss the application of psychomotor domain practical teaching strategies adopted by teachers in vocational colleges. This study involves the observation of vocational college teachers who are experts in practical technology work. This study is expected to provide new ideas to develop instructors' skills in applying psychomotor elements in teaching methods in the form of demonstrations for teaching practical workshops.
