also provide skills to compete in the world of 
industry and business. Regarding the low quality of 
the workforce in Indonesia, especially in terms of 
skills, this training institute becomes a reference to 
enhance the quality of workforce. According to the 
statistics, Indonesia's labor force in February 2015 
was 128.38 million people. The working population 
reached 114.82 million and the unemployment rate 
was 56 million. The working population is 
dominated by people with junior and senior 
secondary education with a total number of 3523624 
people compared with the population working with 
undergraduate education, 495143 people (BPS, 
2015). The high number of labors with high school 
and junior high school educational background 
indicates that the current workforce still lacks the 
necessary skills to work. The labor and social trends 
data by ILO in August 2014, reveals that 55.5% of 
factory and machinery operators and assemblers do 
not meet DUDI requirements. Moreover, 52.5% of 
technicians and professionals in companies do not 
meet the requirements. Fortunately, the data shows 
that 39.1% of the administrative staffs in office have 
fulfilled DUDI requirements. Of 147298 people 
graduates of Course and Training Institute (LKP), 
68215 people worked, 13672 people developed their 
independent business, while 18344 people are 
attending their education and training, and 47065 
people are unemployed (source: Recap of most LKP 
information graduates, infokursus.net: April 4, 
2016). The data shows that 40% of LKP graduates 
are still unemployed. It can be caused by various 
things, one of them is the lack of competence of 
LKP graduates with the demand of the work. 
Not only in formal education, but in non-formal 
education also has to make many changes to 
improve the quality of the learners as those in the 
institution of the course or training. The 
development of learning from time to time rapidly 
requires a variety of new breakthroughs such as 
approaches and innovative learning that can become 
a medium of knowledge for learners regionally and 
globally. This condition becomes an opportunity for 
the course and training institution to provide skills 
for the workforce in accordance with the needs of 
the business world. If the expectations of the 
business world are workers with good knowledge, 
skills and attitude of the workplace, then the 
application of learning should be able to provide 
knowledge and experience directly from the real 
world of work. Many models and methods that can 
be applied in the learning process, one of which is 
work-based learning (hereinafter abbreviated as 
WBL), is a model of learning that is well integrated 
with formal educational institutions and the world of 
industry. As quoted from Bailey et al. (2004: 2), 
some educational reformers argue that integrating 
school experiences with classroom learning is an 
effective approach to engage students with their 
studies and help them to prepare their education and 
work after high school (Hamilton, 1990; Jobs for the 
Future, 1994). This experience frequently involves 
employment in private and public sector 
organizations. The reformers made various claims 
about the educational benefits of this type of work-
based learning, and in many cases, these things have 
touched a responsive tone. As quoted from Quick 
(2010: 259), a unique way of work-based learning 
that integrates individual learning needs with role 
needs makes the ideal choice award for Advanced 
Perioperative Practitioners who want to combine 
academic studies with professional development, as 
an experienced and professional-quality practitioner 
(Boud and Solomon, 2001: 5; Thatcher 2003). Thus, 
education is not just a matter of transfer of 
knowledge in simple way, but there are separate 
processes and mechanisms for the purpose of 
learning that can be achieved according to 
predetermined targets. It involves the mastery and 
alteration of knowledge, skills, strategies, beliefs, 
attitudes, and behaviors (Schunk, 2012: 2). In 
education, all processes in it are systematic and 
planned which are all summarized by the model of 
learning. Learning model is a whole series of unity 
among learning approach, learning strategy, learning 
method, learning technique, and learning tactics. 
(Komalasari, 2013). 
The learning model is basically a form of 
learning illustrated from beginning to end that is 
typically presented by the teacher. Thus, in order for 
educators to perform their duties professionally, they 
must understand and be skilled in developing 
various models of learning effectively, creatively 
and fun. They must use and develop models that are 
appropriate to the real conditions in the classroom 
and are assumed to achieve targets in learning. 
Instruction is the domain of educators, which is 
primarily concerned with the direct application of 
teaching methods in the classroom and other 
learning settings. This applied focus is not always 
good for exploring how the learning process is 
influenced by instructional variation (Schunk, 2012: 
18). Educators should also know how the brain 
develops because developmental change should be 
considered in planning instructions to ensure student 
learning (Schunk, 2012: 50). Thus, teachers or 
educators should be able to make careful planning of 
learning, especially in the application of the model
