Development of a Project-Based Machining Practice Learning Model to increase student competency and employability skills

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This research aims to: (1) develop a Project-Based Machining Practice Learning Model in Vocational Education (MP3BP); (2) produce an applicable MP3BP for machining practice learning; (3) demonstrate the effectiveness of MP3BP in enhancing machining practice competencies and employability skills of students; and (4) introduce a new concept of Project-Based Machining Practice Learning Model for Vocational Education.This research is a type of Research and Development (R&D) conducted in the Department of Mechanical Engineering Education FT UNY, industries in Yogyakarta, and several other universities from February to November 2022.Data collection techniques include observation sheets, interviews, and documentation.Content validity analysis was conducted through expert judgment.Effectiveness testing was carried out using an equivalent time series design.The data obtained were analyzed descriptively qualitativelyquantitatively.The research results show that: (1) MP3BP consists of: (a) team formation, (b) job practice determination, (c) design planning, (d) design presentation, (e) job execution, (f) quality control, (g) production cost calculation and product marketing, (h) reflection; (2) based on validation tests, the MP3BP assessment score was 3.81, RPS assessment score was 3.9, educator response was 3.82, and student response was 3.87.Based on these scores, MP3BP is considered "Very Feasible" to implement; (3) based on effectiveness tests, an increase in employability skills of 23.57% and a competency achievement increase of 17% were observed.Based on data analysis using one way ANOVA, an F count of 64.18 was obtained while the F table was 3.555, indicating a significant difference in competency achievement after the implementation of MP3BP.Thus, MP3BP is effective in enhancing machining practice competencies and employability skills of students.(4) The new MP3BP concept is in the job practice determination stage, where students must be able to determine the job practice to be made considering function and marketability.Therefore, this model has the advantage of enabling students to plan, execute, and market a product.
