The feasibility of practice facilities for lathe training based on standard

Abstract

Increasing the competence of graduates of course requires adequate facilities and infrastructure, especially practical tools in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to measure the feasibility of practicum facilities and the level of competence of class XI students of Mechanical Engineering at SMK Muhammadiyah 1 Bantul. The results can be used as evaluation material by schools or foundations. This study used a descriptive method with a quantitative approach which is then described qualitatively. The subject were teachers of lathe subject, head of the Mechanical Engineering Department. The research objects included: the feasibility of buildings, furnishings, equipment, instructional media, and other devices as well as the level of competence of students' lathes. Data collection used observation, interviews, and documentation technique. The instruments used were observation instrument sheets and interview instruments. The data analysis technique used descriptive statistical analysis technique. Based on the results of the research that has been done, the feasibility of the lathe machining workshop facility at SMK Muhammadiyah 1 Bantul reached 72.5% so that it was included in the feasible category to support the formation of students' lathe competencies. The mean score of participants in the lathe subject was above the Minimum Graduation Criteria (MGC). This means that the competency standard for turning students of class XI Mechanical Engineering at SMK Muhammadiyah 1 Bantul has been achieved. Similar research is needed for other competencies that must be fulfilled by vocational students in the field of Mechanical Engineering so that they can be used as evaluation materials to improve the competence of graduates who are ready to face the Industrial Revolution Era 4.0.
