Abstract: The objectives of
this research are to investigate: (1) whether or not there is a significant
effect of the learning process on the development of soft skills of the
students of the Office Administration Education Department of the Faculty of
Teacher Training and Education, Sebelas Maret University, the class of 2009;
(2) whether or not there is a significant effect of the practical work program
(apprenticeship) on the development of soft skills of the students of the
Office Administration Education Department of the Faculty of Teacher Training
and Education, Sebelas Maret University, the class of 2009; and (3) whether or
not there is a simultaneous effect of the learning process and the practical
work program (apprenticeship) on the development of soft skills of the students
of the Office Administration Education Department of the Faculty of Teacher
Training and Education, Sebelas Maret University, the class of 2009.
This research used the descriptive quantitative research method. The
population of the research was all of the students of the Office Administration
Education Department of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Sebelas
Maret University, the class of 2009. The samples of the research were taken by
using the total sampling technique, and consisted of all of the students of the
Office Administration Education Department of the Faculty of Teacher Training
and Education, Sebelas Maret University, the class of 2009. The data of the
research were gathered through questionnaire. They were then statistically
analyzed by using the multiple correlation and regression technique analysis.
The results of the research are as follows: (1) there is a significant
effect of the learning process on the development of soft skills of the
students of the Office Administration Education Department of the Faculty of
Teacher Training and Education, Sebelas Maret University, the class of 2009 as
indicated by the value of rcount = 0.532 > that of rtable = 0.329; (2) there
is a significant effect of the practical work program (apprenticeship) on the
development of soft skills of the students of the Office Administration
Education Department of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Sebelas
Maret University, the class of 2009 as shown by the value of rcount = 0.527
> that of rtable = 0.329; and (3) there is a simultaneous effect of the
learning process and the practical work program (apprenticeship) on the
development of soft skills of the students of the Office Administration Education
Department of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Sebelas Maret
University, the class of 2009 as pointed out by the value of Fcount = 12. 529
> that of Ftable = 3.285 at the significance level of 5%. In addition, the
results of the research also show that the multiple linear regression equation
is Ŷ = 38.300 + 0.199 X1 + 0.558 X2, meaning that the development of soft
skills of the students of the Office Administration Education Department of the
Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Sebelas Maret University, the class
of 2009 will increase or decrease as much as 0. 199 if there is an increase or
a decrease of one unit of the learning process and will increase or decrease as
much as 0.558 if there is an increase or a decrease of one unit of the
practical work program (apprenticeship). Each independent variable has a
contribution to the dependent variable. The relative contribution of the
learning process on the development of soft skills of the students is 50.60%,
and that of the practical work program (apprenticeship) on the development of
soft skills of the students is 49.40%. Furthermore, the effective contribution
of the learning process on the development of soft skills of the students is
21.84%, and that of the practical work program (apprenticeship) on the
development of soft skills of the students is 21.32%.
