PERBEDAAN SOFT SKILL SISWA ANTARA PENERAPAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN GROUP INVESTIGATION DAN KONVENSIONAL PADA KEAHLIAN TEKNIK PEMESINAN SMK
Abstract
Soft Skill Differences between the Application of Student Learning Group Investigation and Conventional Model at Mechanical Engineering Program in Vocational High School. The purpose of this study was to describe: (1) the students soft skills level before and after the implementation of the student learning using group investigation (GI) and conventional, and (2) the students soft skill differences using the GI learning and conventional model.The research was a quantitative research. This research used a quasi-experimental design, and the research design used the Non-Equivalent Groups pretest-posttest design. The results showed that: (1) the level of soft skills using the application of the GI model on average increased by 6.14, and (2) the level of soft skills using the application of conventional models on average decreased by 1.11. As a conclusion, there was a significant difference between the students soft skills using the application of theGI and conventional model, and the soft skills for the introduction of GI models was better than the conventional model. Tujuan penelitian untuk mendeskripsikan: (1) soft skill siswa sebelum dan sesudah menerapkan pembelajaran group investigation ( dan konvensional, dan (2) Jenis penelitian merupakan penelitian kuantitatif, rancangan penelitian eksperimen semu, sedangkan desain penelitian Non-Equivalent Groups Pretest-Posttest Design. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) tingkat keterampilan soft skill dengan penerapan model GI mengalami peningkatan margin nilai sebesar 6,14, dan (2) tingkat keterampilan soft skill dengan penerapan model konvensional tidak mengalami kenaikan nilai, tetapi mengalami penurunan margin nilai sebesar 1,11. Ada perbedaan yang signifikan soft skill siswa antara penerapan model GI dan konvensional, untuk pengantar soft skill model GI lebih baik dibanding dengan model konvensional.
