The Effectiveness of Being Success Learning Model in Computer Systems Subjects at Vocational High Schools

Abstract

This study aims at determining the effectiveness of the Being Success model in improving student learning outcomes in Computer Systems subjects at Vocational High Schools (SMK). This study uses a quasi-experimental comparative quantitative approach with a pre-test post-test control group design as the research design. This study was conducted at SMKN 05 Makassar and SMKS Telkom Makassar on January 22 to April 22, 2021. The population in this study was class X students on the even semester with the field of Information and Communication Technology expertise in Computer Systems subjects for the 2020/2021 academic year. Subject selection was carried out purposively with certain considerations. Basic Competencies (KD) suitability and the consistency of subjects to participate in online learning activities during the pandemic are considered. Therefore, the subjects in this study involved two classes with 54 students consisting of 27 students of class X SMKN 05 Makassar as the experimental class and 27 students of class X SMKS Telkom Makassar as the control class. Data were obtained from the results of the pre-test and post-test in the form of multiple-choice questions. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using parametric t-test statistics with a significance level of 0.05. Based on the output of the Independent sample sig (2-tailed), the t-test was 0.000 <0.05. These results indicate that there is a significant difference in the acquisition of learning outcomes between the control class and the experimental class. It can be concluded that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. Based on the results of the calculation of the N-Gain Score from the pre-test and post-test values, the normalized gain value for the experimental class was 0.73, and the control class was 0.58. The values ​​obtained are then interpreted into the normalized gain value criteria (N-Gain); from these values, ​​it can be concluded that the effectiveness of the application of the Being Success model in the experimental class is in the high category.
