Developing Specialization Model Applications for High School Students

Abstract: This study aims to produce a model application of specialization for the majors of high school students. The research method used is the Borg and Gall development research method. The research procedure was carried out by conducting a literature review and preliminary study, planning, developing, validating, revising, testing on research subjects, revising, and finalizing and socializing the application specialization model. The research instrument used is a rating scale. Data analysis was carried out by averaging expert judgments on applying the specialization model that had been developed. In addition, data were also obtained from the results of student interest. The expert test results showed that the application of the specialization model for the majors of high school students that was developed was feasible to be used to provide recommendations for students’ specialization. Data from students when using the specialization model is grouped into two types of data, namely appropriate and inappropriate. The results of the trial using the specialization model by students showed that 97 percent of the subjects stated that the conclusions of the specialization model were in accordance with their interests.Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan menghasilkan aplikasi model peminatan untuk penjurusan siswa sekolah menengah atas.

Prosedur penelitian yang dilakukan adalah melakukan kajian pustaka dan studi pendahuluan, perencanaan, pengembangan, validasi, revisi, uji coba kepada subjek penelitian, revisi, dan finalisasi serta sosialisasi aplikasi model peminatan. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan adalah skala penilaian. Analisis data dilakukan dengan merata-rata penilaian ahli terhadap aplikasi model peminatan yang telah dikembangkan. Selain itu, data juga diperoleh dari hasil peminatan siswa. Hasil dari uji ahli menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi model peminatan untuk penjurusan siswa sekolah menengah atas yang dikembangkan, layak digunakan untuk memberi rekomendasi peminatan siswa. Data dari siswa saat menggunakan aplikasi model peminatan dikelompokan menjadi dua jenis data, yaitu sesuai dan tidak sesuai.
