Development of Internship Instruments in Implementation of KKNI Curriculum, Engineering Faculty Medan State University

Background - Engginering Faculty (EF) Medan State University (MSU)
is a vocational faculty consisting of education and engineering study
programs. EF MSU uses a KKNI-based curriculum, one of which is an
Internship. The apprenticeship course consists of educational
apprenticeships at schools and technical internships in the business and
industrial world (BIW). During the apprenticeship competency assessment,
it uses instruments compiled by the lecturer
Purpose - The purpose of this study was to produce an apprenticeship
competency assessment tool for EF MSU students. An assessment instrument
that can measure apprenticeship competencies accurately and accountably
Design/methodology/approach - The research approach is in the form
of development research. The apprenticeship instrument development is
carried out through the Borg and Gall approach. Research respondents were
the head of the study program, the apprentice supervisor, teachers at schools,
and supervisors at BIW
Findings - The results of the study were the compilation of competency
assessment instruments from internships. The assessment instrument has met
the validity and reliability requirements, so it is suitable to be used to assess
student competence
Research limitations - Development of instruments with data sources
from EF MSU, partner schools, and BIW. The instrument developed can be
used to measure the competence of students who take part in educational
apprenticeships at schools and engineering internships at BIW
Originality/value - The research resulted in a standard apprenticeship
competency assessment instrument by the course competency formulation These instruments can be used in general with the same competence in other
areas of expertise
