UPAYA MENINGKATKAN AKTIVITAS BELAJAR DAN KETERAMPILAN MEMBACA GAMBAR TEKNIK MENGGUNAKAN METODE DISKUSI, DENGAN GAMBAR BERSERI PADA SISWA KELAS XI M SMK GANESHA METRO
Abstract: In keeping up with the development of
information technology, Engineering Drawing still requires the solid base of
drawing which needs to be mastered for all machinery users. Mastering
Engineering drawing covers supporting knowledge to draw manually or computer assisted.
Reality found, the skill of reading engineering drawing students of Vocational
High School (known as SMK) Ganesha Metro was still low. It was low because
their learning activity was also low. An instruction using discussion method
and engineering serial pictures is a method strongly suspected able to provide
more chances in developing students active role to get involved both physically
and emotionally during the instructional process. It appeared that the method
combined by the media was not maximized to empower students potency. The method
of the research was Classroom Action Research (CAR). CAR is a research the
improve teaching practice and learning achievement. It required 2 two cycles
with a precycle treatment and test. The research was carried out at SMK Ganesha
Metro. It involved students class XI M as many as 33. It was odd semester of
Academic Year 2011/2012. The research took place for three months, from
September to November 2011. It was done in accordance with time table scheduled
by the school. Conclusion made by the researcher after deep analysis to data
and findings. The improvement of learning activity and the skill of reading
engineering drawing could be achieved through the implementation of discussion
method and engineering pictures series. Series pictures were used at cycle II
to facilitate students understanding toward the reading of engineering drawing,
both reading and the skill of drawing. The implementation of discussion method
was arranged in a sequence of starting from classroom discussion, small group
discussion, and panel discussion. Some drawing assignments were given earlier
to abridge the skill development and learning material mastery through self
exercise. The implementation of discussion method with the sequence meant to
provide wider chance for the students to understand the learning materials
substance.
