Abstract

--- This development research aims to formulate the need for developing evaluation instruments for vocational industry work practices based on competency. Industrial Work Practice is a superior program for Vocational Schools to provide experience to the Business World and the Industrial World to their students. The research sample consisted of SMKs in the fields of engineering technology, business management and tourism. Respondents involved were principals, productive program teachers and business and industry instructors. The results of the analysis of the need to develop evaluation instruments for competency-based Vocational Industry Work Practices are as follows: 1) there are three aspects of Industrial Work Practices which are the main aspects in evaluation instruments, namely: a) aspects of Industrial Work Practices readiness, b) implementation aspects of Work Practices Industry, and c) aspects of monitoring and evaluating Industrial Work Practices; 2) 87% of respondents stated that continuous evaluation of the Industrial Work Practices program had not been implemented properly; 3) 79% of respondents stated that the Industrial Work Practices program that was running, did not yet have a standard evaluation instrument; 4) 85% of respondents stated that they strongly agreed when standard evaluation instruments were developed, in order to support the ongoing evaluation process in the Industrial Work Practice program based on competency. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that Vocational Schools need a standard instrument for evaluating industrial work practice programs, in order to support the improvement of the quality of the implementation of competency-based Vocational Industry Work Practices.
