THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOFT SKILLS-BASED STUDY MATERIAL OF CHEMISTRY IN THE TOPIC OF TERMOCHEMISTRY FOR VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT
ABSTRACT: Business and
industrial field need workers who have not only good academic achievement but
also the ability of hard skills and soft skills. In order to prepare students
who have a good academic skills, hard skills, and soft skills, it has to be
done in all subjects including chemistry integrated to the expertise
competencies of Motorcycle Engineering.The research design used One Group
Pretest Posttest Design imposed on students in class TSM XI SMK 1 Kedung.
Validator assessment results indicated that teaching materials developed very
feasible to be applied in chemistry learning. The result show that the learning
device by using the integrated chemistry materials can increase students
understanding of the thermo chemistry material with the acquisition of N-gain
was at 0.63 or in the modest category. Group of high-achieving students had the
score of N-gain 0.65, while the medium-achieving students obtained 0.63 and
low-achieving students obtained 0.61, all had medium category. Percentage of students
who passes the mastery learning reached87 % (if mastery learning (KKM>75).
The percentage of students’ soft skills in at least good criteria was at 87.10
%. 90.71 % students gave positive responses towards the learning material.
