Management and Use of Multimedia as an ICT-Based Learning Media to Improve the Skills of Vocational School Students

Abstract

Vocational secondary education is a level of education that is closely related to mastery of skills. Through the learning process that has been going on so far, it seems that it is not optimal for students to master various skills that are important to master in the 21st century, especially for the learning outcomes of land surveying. The application of learning methods that are integrated with the use of digital learning media is expected to create a more active and student-centered learning environment. This study has a goal that focuses on seeing the effect of interactive ICT-based multimedia products on student skill achievement. This research method is an experimental method with a quasi-experimental design with pre and posttest in the control class and the experimental class. The data collection instrument used is questions. The population of this research is SMK students, with a total sample of 136 students selected by cluster sampling. The results of the study show that the use of interactive multimedia has a significant effect and is followed by an increase in student skill achievement. This study concludes that interactive multimedia is considered quite effective in influencing and improving students' skills as an effort to achieve learning goals and mastery of 21st century skills.
