WEB-Based Tracer Study in Vocational High School

Abstract

—Tracer study is a necessity in the world of education, especially in Vocational High Schools. Through tracer studies, schools can find out the number of graduates who are absorbed in the world of work, and become a means of evaluation for school leaders in making policies. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review method with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) strategy. The articles taken were published in 2015-2021 by taking databases from Google Scholar, DOAJ, and Research Gate. The keywords used include Tracer Study, WEB-Based, and Vocational High School. The search results found that there were 110 articles on Google Scholar, 67 on Research Gate and DOAJ. Screened, there are 36 articles that fit the topic. From the 36 articles, they were re-screened and 5 articles were selected that met the criteria for analysis. The results of the study show that a WEB-based tracer study is an effective way for schools to track graduates who have been accepted into the world of work and is a must for schools in order to map school policies so that graduates have competencies as expected by the world of work.
