Pemetaan Kesiapan Proyek, Praktik Kerja Lapangan, dan Orientasi Karier melalui Asesmen Diagnostik Berbasis Survei

Abstract

Abstract

This study examined the baseline competence, project and workplace-internship readiness, learning preferences, and career orientation of Grade XI Accounting students using a survey-based diagnostic assessment. The study adopted a cross-sectional descriptive-comparative design with quantitative analysis supported by simple thematic coding. All 65 students who completed the assessment were included, consisting of 34 students from XI AK 1 and 31 from XI AK 2. Data were obtained from self-report scales, one project/internship-readiness item, five brief objective questions, learning-preference and post-graduation items, and open-ended responses. Reliability coefficients for the learning experience, motivation, English, and accounting scales were α=.70, .63, .86, and .89. The overall objective score was M=4.69 (SD=0.64), whereas project/internship readiness was M=3.25 (SD=0.94). XI AK 1 showed significantly stronger readiness, English competence, and accounting competence than XI AK 2. Readiness was positively associated with motivation, English competence, and accounting competence, but not with the brief objective score. Working while continuing higher education was the most common plan, chosen by 36 students (55.4%). These findings suggest that strong basic-concept scores do not necessarily indicate readiness to perform vocational tasks. Diagnostic survey results are therefore most useful when followed by performance assessment, observation, feedback, and career guidance.

 Abstrak

Penelitian ini memetakan kompetensi awal, kesiapan mengikuti proyek dan praktik kerja lapangan (PKL), preferensi belajar, serta orientasi karier siswa kelas XI Akuntansi melalui asesmen diagnostik berbasis survei. Penelitian menggunakan desain potong lintang deskriptif-komparatif dengan analisis kuantitatif yang dilengkapi pengodean tematik sederhana. Seluruh 65 siswa yang mengisi asesmen dilibatkan, yaitu 34 siswa XI AK 1 dan 31 siswa XI AK 2. Data diperoleh melalui skala penilaian diri, satu butir kesiapan proyek/PKL, lima soal objektif singkat, pertanyaan mengenai preferensi belajar dan rencana pascalulus, serta respons terbuka. Koefisien konsistensi internal untuk skala pengalaman belajar, motivasi, Bahasa Inggris, dan Akuntansi berturut-turut sebesar α=.70, .63, .86, dan .89. Rata-rata skor objektif gabungan adalah M=4.69 (SD=0.64), sedangkan kesiapan proyek/PKL M=3.25 (SD=0.94), kemampuan Bahasa Inggris M=3.13, dan kemampuan Akuntansi M=3.34. XI AK 1 memiliki kesiapan, kemampuan Bahasa Inggris, dan kemampuan Akuntansi yang secara statistik lebih tinggi dibanding XI AK 2. Kesiapan proyek/PKL berkorelasi positif dengan motivasi, kemampuan Bahasa Inggris, dan kemampuan Akuntansi, namun tidak dengan skor objektif singkat. Sebanyak 36 siswa (55.4%) memilih bekerja sambil melanjutkan kuliah. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa penguasaan konsep dasar yang tinggi belum tentu sejalan dengan kesiapan performatif. Karena itu, asesmen diagnostik berbasis survei sebaiknya digunakan sebagai dasar tindak lanjut melalui asesmen performa, observasi, umpan balik, dan layanan karier.
