Abstract

Graduates of vocational schools and polytechnics are expected to become skilled workers who are ready to work in various fields of work. Especially for graduates from language study programs, having the language skills and competence certificate is not enough to face the competition in the world of work. They also need to always perform soft skills and work ethics, to be able to get ready for working, to be able to understand colleagues better, and thus to adapt fast in any environment. Thus, there have been issues toward to what extent formal education specifically embeds soft skills and work ethics, what aspects of soft skills and work ethics that employees must possess, and what efforts have been given to develop them. This study aims at describing the efforts done by Language Study Programs, Sekolah Vokasi, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM)to adopt soft skills and work ethics and describing the performance of Language Study Programs, Sekolah Vokasi, UGM graduates in the aspects of soft skills (intrapersonal skill, interpersonal skill, and communication) and work ethics (commitment, integrity, professionalism, and hard work).

Abstract

Needs analysis as an initial process in a course becomes crucial before deciding learning objectives, setting the assessment, creating course design, as well as developing materials. This study aims to describe the English competence and skills needed by the stakeholders and students’ perceptions of good teaching materials from various study programs at Vocational College UGM. The methods used in collecting data are questionnaires and interviews. The questionnaire is distributed to the first semester students from all applied bachelor programs in Vocational College UGM using a stratified random sampling method. In addition, the interview is done with all heads of applied bachelor programs in Vocational College UGM for triangulation. The results show that the students are in the beginner level or basic users (A2 level in Common European Framework of Reference for Languages or CEFR). Moreover, the competencies stated in the A2 level are considered needed by the students to master in academic and work-life contexts. Besides, the skill considered as the most important is speaking, followed by writing. The students also propose some criteria of good teaching materials that include the content, sequence, exercise, language features, technology, layout, and price.

Abstract

This study aims at describing the work ethics profile of Vocational College Students in Indonesia. Work ethics is an important indicator of human resources quality, and also an element of employability skills, that must be owned by students of Vocational College as working-age population. There are four main dimensions in work ethics: commitment, integrity, professional attitudes, and hard work. It is descriptive research on self-evaluation survey. It uses a Likert scale with five response options, ranging from 1 (never) to 5 (always). The respondents were determined using cluster sampling and convenience sampling. They are from four vocational colleges based on the three regions in Indonesia: College A (representing Western Indonesia colleges), College B and C (from Middle Indonesia), and College D (in Eastern Indonesia). This geographical perspective is used to get a profile of Vocational College students’ work ethics regionally and nationally. The study concludes that there is no major difference among the self-evaluation results of work ethics in Western Indonesia, Middle Indonesia, and Eastern Indonesia (the mean scores of the four dimensions in four colleges range from 3.89 to 4.54). The study concludes that integrity is in the highest rank among other dimensions. The one that takes place in the second position is commitment, except the one in College C. It is consecutively followed by being professional (except College C since its being professional is in the second place). The last is hard work. This profile signals positive support towards the demographic dividend for the development of the country.

Abstract

Penguasaan bahasa asing merupakan salah satu kunci dalam memenangkan persaingan di era globalisasi ini. Oleh karenanya, pembelajaran bahasa asing khususnya di tingkat pendidikan menengah/kejuruan perlu diupayakan agar memiliki kondisi yang ideal agar outcome pembelajaran dapat tercapai sehingga lulusannya lebih berdaya saing. Dalam kenyataannya, di banyak daerah di Indonesia belum memiliki kondisi yang ideal untuk pembelajaran bahasa, tidak terkecuali di Kabupaten Sampang, Jawa Timur yang indeks pendidikannya masih rendah. Kompetensi pedagogis, mindset, dan motivasi pengajar menjadi hal yang krusial dalam penentuan keberhasilan pembelajaran bahasa di daerah tersebut. Oleh karenanya, pelatihan untuk peningkatan kemampuan mengajar guru bahasa asing menjadi jalan keluar yang tepat untuk meminimalisir dampak negatif dari kurangnya penguasaan kompetensi guru secara pedagogis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk  mendeskripsikan tahapan R&D dari kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat yang berjudul “Workshop Upgrading Kemampuan Mengajar Guru Bahasa Asing (Bahasa Inggris dan Lainnya) SMA/SMK/MA Se-Kabupaten Sampang” yang diselenggarakan pada tanggal 17-19 September 2019. Secara umum, tahapan R&D yang dilaksanakan selama bulan Mei-Oktober 2019 tersebut diadaptasi dari siklus R&D yang dikembangkan oleh Borg & Gall (2003), yaitu (1) pengumpulan informasi dan penelitian, (2) perencanaan, (3) mengembangkan produk,  (4) diseminasi 1 dan implementasi , (5) evaluasi, dan (6) diseminasi 2.

Abstract

Penulisan artikel penelitian merupakan kebutuhan para dosen dan mahasiswa. Sayangnya, publikasi jurnal yang dihasilkan oleh mahasiswa, khususnya pada program studi Bahasa Inggris Terapan (Prodi S.Tr. BI), Sekolah Vokasi UGM belum optimal. Untuk itu, Prodi S.Tr. BI menyediakan mata kuliah academic writing untuk melatih kemampuan menulis mahasiswa guna menghasilkan manuskrip hasil penelitian yang layak terbit. Penelitian ini bertujuan mencari tahu kebutuhan mahasiswa dalam mata kuliah academic writing dengan luaran pembelajaran berupa manuskrip hasil penelitian. Metode pengumpulan data mencakup wawancara pada 20 mahasiswa alih program yang telah mengambil mata kuliah metode penelitian dan academic writing, dan wawancara pada 3 editor jurnal. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: 1) pada bagian Introduction mahasiswa perlu menuliskan gap penelitian; 2) pada bagian Methods mahasiswa perlu menjelaskan metode dengan cukup rinci termasuk alasan pemilihan partisipan penelitian; 3) pada bagian Findings/Results mahasiswa perlu lebih efektif dalam menjelaskan temuan; 4) pada bagian Discussion mahasiswa perlu menunjukkan analisis yang cukup mendalam terhadap temuan penelitian; dan 5) pada Conclusion mahasiswa perlu menjelaskan implikasi dari temuan. Hal ini dikuatkan oleh pernyataan editor jurnal bahwa tiap bagian manuskrip hasil penelitian memiliki kekhususan dan poin penting yang perlu ditonjolkan. Penelitian ini memberikan referensi tentang materi dan keterampilan yang perlu diajarkan pada mata kuliah academic writing.
