Abstract: This study aims to reveal/test that the results to learn basic digital techniques with the learning approach of

virtual simulation (simulator) is higher than the study of students with learning approach to digital trainer.

This other research using experimental methods, because it is to determine the effect of learning approaches

virtual simulation and digital trainer and compare the two approaches learning. Another variable that can be

controlled is the beginning of knowledge in vocational Manado. The results of teaching and learning digital

techniques using simulators is higher than the group of learners who use the trainer. The learning digital

techniques competency field of audio engineering video and Computer engineering and Networks is more

effective in the process of achieving competence when compared to using a trainer.

1 INTRODUCTION

Vocational education program allotment to its

graduate have the ability, skill in the field of certain

expertise. So minimum demand every of its

graduates must skillful in the field of its expertise for

corporate world and industry. Vocational training

graduate is expected to fill the opportunity to work

at corporate world/industry, based on certification

area of expertise that is owned the participant to

educate. Graduate SMK can continue to the higher

education, as long the graduate fulfill the

requirements, that is expected based on competence

of expertise that is elaborated it.

Issues that in facing the present day graduate

SMK, that is gap of demand of expertise in the

school of demand that is expected in the industrial

world. One of the cause is not yet concordance of

supply of demand among others less or have not its

you device of practice in the school. Based on the

fact that there are in the manufacturing industry, that

the process of making one unit of the product

requires the collaboration of various skills

(collaborative skills). Without the cooperation is

good then the final result of the expected product

can not be achieved. (Dwi Rahdiyanta, 2014).

Trainer DCS/SCADA have developed could be used

in accordance with the competence of knowledge

and skills on the syllabus subjects Control Systems

Process interactively, effective, and efficient, which

has been evidenced by the survey data through a

questionnaire given to the expert of teachers, experts

from industry, as well as the students. (Agus Rahmat

Ramdan et all. 2016). To carry out a lab activities

will require several factors, including laboratory

space in accordance with the practice subjects,

facilities equipment, and a complete practice

materials. Fact the field after the observation is

found that there are many vocational

equipment and materials that have very

minimal practice, teaching media is still using

conventional methods , there are even schools that

do not have laboratory space, so that the lab is

not running optimally. (Sapto Haryoko and Hendra

Jaya, 2014).

In fact still a lot SMK that very minimum

equipment practices to including SMK Manado. To

that end, need effort of substitution of equipment

practices with simulator in attainment of competence

that same and also improvement of quality of

equipment and curriculum. With limitation of

equipment practices supporter of attainment of

purpose of learning, then it need to be searched for

alternative of substitution of equipment of practice

area of technical expertise electronics / technique in

computer and network with media of electronic that

is recognized with virtual simulation (simulator) it to

be fulfilled proportion of practice that ougt to

experienced by the participant to educate. Burdened

the equipment of practice in learning will affect in

quality of competence that later will be owned the

participant to educate. Vocational training is

education for acquisition of knowledge and skill that

having the economic value, according to need of

market with education of labor of coefficient high.

Realistic unitary costs of providing technical and

vocational education and training, the evidence

suggests technical education is a cost-effective

modality. (Almeida, 2015). Implication for

vocational training is: a) apprentice or internship

Program must become part of system of education of

vocational, because there are many technical skills,

stand, habitual, and emotional can only be gained

through the on of the of job of training. b) In on of

the of job of training of is studied skill to included

that having the character of general and specific, c)

Because general of training have the value of longer

economic and to be foundation, then it need the

strong, d) Spesific training must always be in up of

to of date according to need of market, e) Training to

have skill of way gain and dig the information to

become be important to up of dating including the

lesson base of digital technique.

Acquisition of knowledge and performance of a

skill or stand that is developed from vocational

lesson, is as a rule shown with value of the given

number teacher, all scope of cognitive domain and

the psychomotors that are study result of participant

educate. Present that study result is ability that is

owned the student after the s(he receive experience

to learn it. Technical, vocational, education and

training (TVET) plays a vital role in a society’s

economic growth and social development. (Azizi N.,

et all, 2015). So acquisition of knowledge and skill

of participant educate can be happened when

experiencing the experience to study in school is all

received theoretically and the practices.

2 METHODOLOGY RESEARCH

Research is done at the SMKN 2 Manado with

method of experiment with approach of learning

uses instrument for practice of virtual simulator and

digital trainer. Settlement of sample randomly

counted trainers 30 students for group by means of

practice the digital simulator and group that using

instrument for practice of digital trainer 30 students.

Testing the requirements be to be conducted the test

of normality, homogeneity tests significance of

regression. Settlement of sample at research is

random stage sampling. Each of participant educates

the group of is chosen experiment has the whole

sample 60 Participants educate.

3 RESULT AND DISCUSSION

Declaring main effect: study result Base of digital

technique at group of participant educates that is

taught with approach of learning uses the simulator

higher than in participant educates that is taught with

approach of learning uses the digital trainer. Result

of analysis is gained F

= 4,354 while F

= 4.02 (Fh=

4.354 > Ft = 4.02), mean Ho be to be refused or

hypothesis of research is received. This means there

is difference of study result of participant educates

learning of digital technique by using the simulator

and trainer. Descriptive analysis got that score of

average of study result of base of digital technique at

group of participant educates that is taught with

approach of learning uses instrument for practice of

simulator are 77.66 while score of average of study

result at group of participant educate that is taught

with approach of learning uses instrument for

practice of trainer are 72.53. This indicate that the

study result of base of digital technique with

approach of learning uses the simulator higher than

at group of participant educates that is taught with

approach of learning uses the trainer.

Learning of Vocational area including productive

subject of base of digital technique with approach of

learning uses instrument for practice of simulator by

teacher can increase the study result because of

response of participant educates in internal

motivation, response to try to understand the matter

of base of digital technique so when participant

educates the practitioner to conceptualize the logic

from transfer of knowledge that is experienced on

assembling of digital network in phases can be

assembled quickly if compared to using instrument

for traditional practice (trainer). This in line with

that is declared by Taghavi and Colen (2009) that

integration of learning of laboratory of computer of

simulation with method of traditional learning

(trainer) significantly increases understanding of

student about concept of network of digital

electronic. Strategy learning of vocational area

aimed at the formation of skill matching with need

of employment. Teacher strives to manage the class

with selection of approach of learning uses

instrument for practice both simulator or trainer to

fulfill demand learns it, so participant educates is

able to give the feedback in resolving the assembly

of network matching with task to be resolved.

As also with that is declared by Kim, Park, Lee,

Yuk and Lee (2016) in result of research about

virtual simulation, that (1) Student of Leaner-

Centered VR's group reach the study result that more

satisfies, they feel understand the better subject, and

feels approach of learning with method teaches this

is more captivate, (2) Virtual Reality Physics

Simulation (VRPS) very useful to use as component

of teaching the interaction high, especially in the

visualisation conceptualizes the abstraction like

phenomenon of electromagnet, (3) Program of

VRPS good for: realistic of experiment of hand-on,

visualisation from amount of physics that could not

see, replace the dangerous place, overcome the cost

high, and complicated experiment. This work aims

to develop a step by step process on the

implementation of the student cantered pedagogy

and a digital approach for applying the principles of

good assessment and instant feedback to assessment

obtained to students. The work seeks to utilize the

potential of digital technologies to facilitate peer and

self-assessment, promoting greater self-regulation

among students. (Evelyn Brindha, 2016).

Competence forming process is supported with

cognitive theory in process of change of behaviour

of participant educates to the concept of network of

is studied logic. Feature of digital symbol and

component that is presented in program of software

of simulator easier to be understood to be able to

relate in process of verification of truth table from

network of the logic. This mean process of learning

with approach of learning use the simulator in

transferring concept of knowledge and formation of

skill of participant educates when demonstrated by

teacher is quicker understood compared to that is

taught with approach of learning uses the trainer.

4 CONCLUSIONS

Based on result of examination of hypothesis, then

conclusion as the followings. Study result digital

base of technique of group of participant educates

that is taught with approach of learning uses the

simulator digital higher than the group of participant

educates that is taught with approach of learning

uses the trainer digital.
