Evaluation of Technology Literation Through Innovation of Autotronic Simulator Assisted Learning in Vocational Schools

The Cruise Control System (CCS) autotronic simulator is an automatic speed control system that functions to maintain the vehicle's speed at the desired speed without stepping on the gas and brake pedals. Autotronic learning innovation in vocational high schools is interpreted as a renewal of the learning process where the teacher originally taught the subject of autotronics using lectures, then innovated by means of the teacher learning using the lectures and the CCS simulator. The aim of this research is to evaluate the results of the innovation of autotronic learning through the use of an autotronic simulator on the aspects of technological literacy. The research method used is pre experimental design (non designs) one shot case study. The research was conducted in February-May 2020. The research location was in a public vocational high school in Bandung. The research sample used simple random sampling of 32 students. Data collection used automotive technology literacy tests. Data analysis using percentages. The results showed that: (1) 58% of students have literacy in autotronic technology in the aspect of understanding the components and workings of CCS technology; (2) 56% of students have autotronic technology literacy in the skills aspect of running CCS; and (3) 28% of students have literacy in autotronic technology in the skill aspect of analyzing disorders of the CCS.
