Impact of Work-Based Learning Models in Industry on Student Learning in the Application of Twood Construction

Abstract

The learning that occurs in class must be relevant to industry needs, because graduates must have competencies that suit the needs of the world of work and industry. So, efforts are needed to implement a learning model that is in sync with the world of work in industry, one of which is the work-based learning (WBL) model. It was found that there were still gaps in the one-way work-based learning (WBL) model there was no concept model that integrated Merdeka Belajar (MBKM - Merdeka Campus).  To overcome these problems, research has been carried out by applying the MBKM model, with the concept of workplace learning (WBL) and in accordance with independent campus government policies and the industrial concept. This research uses a quasi-experimental method. The research sample consisted of students from the wood construction application program who were divided into two groups, namely the Control Group with 13 samples and the Treatment Group with 13 samples, so that the total sample was 26 consisting of students and lecturers from the Faculty of Engineering. The research instrument to measure the implementation of the MBKM-based WBL model in the control group uses the Project Based Learning (PJBL) model using cognitive ability tests and skills tests, as well as observation sheets to measure students' work attitudes. The findings show that when compared with the PJBL model, the learning outcomes of students who use the MBKM WBL model which is relevant to industrial concepts, skills, and attitudes, are much higher.
