1 INTRODUCTION

The Covid-19 pandemic is one of the world events

crisis that has caused problems towards invarious

sectors,including the education sector.The learning

process must be limited by distance,this is because the

virus is so dangerous and extremely contagious. The

efforts were attempted by the government to prevent

the transmission of the Covid-19 virus and by made a

crowd-limit policies and activities.

The policy that were carried out by the

government also pose risks in the process of learning

activities. The impact of the policy for imposing

restrictions on community activities that were

recommended by the government is the occurrence of

restrictions in the process of teaching and learning

activities. The learning process that was previously

https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0006-2423

carried out face-to-face must be carried out using a

distance learning model. This led to changes in the

culture of teaching and learning. The teacher's

process of observing children's development both in

terms of attitudes, knowledge and skills becomes

completely limited. Students tend to be struggling in

their observation as this pandemic has led to learning

loss and lack of acknowledgment.

Vocational High School is an educational

institution to form students so they can have the

provision of knowledge to face the industrial era 4.0.

In this era, students are formed to have 4 skills, such

as collaboration, communication, critical thinking,

and creativity so that they are fully prepared to enter

the 4.0 generation, or to be known as the Cyber

Physical system. Vocational High Schools are also

affected by the presence of Covid-19. Learning in

Vocational High Schools consists of learning theory

and practice. With the imposition of restrictions on

community activities, learning activities, both theory

and practice, cannot be carried out face-to-face.

The occurrence of learning loss and lack of

acknowledgment in Vocational High School students

in particular raises concern for the Government.

Various attempts were made to overcome this

problem.Curriculum changes implemented are one

that can overcome the occurrence of learning loss

which is often known as the independent curriculum.

After the covid pandemic were decreased, learning

activities were finally allowed to hold limited face-

to-face learning and teaching process.

Based on the results of observations at State

Vocational High School 1 Seyegan, Sleman district,

Special Region of Yogyakarta on the “Teknik

Kendaraan Ringan dan Otomatif” competence, it is

currently permitted to hold 100% face-to-face

meetings in both theoretical and practical learning.

However, there is still a time limit, which to be on

term that each subject or classes has 35 minutes time

limit. Class X already begun the usage of “Kurikulum

Merdeka” whilst classes XI and XII still use

“Kurikulum 2013”.

The impact of learning “Teknik Kendaraan

Ringan dan Otomotif” for students is reduced interest

in learning. Interest in learning is the willingness to

participate in learning activities that originate from

conscience (Suprijanto, 2007: 25). According to

Muhibbin Syah (2012: 136) that, "interest in learning

is atendency and high enthusiasm or a great desire for

something." So, asking to learn can be concluded high

desire and curiosity to participate in learning

activities. The cause of the decreased interest in

learning is that students are accustomed to learning

using a distance learning model, this creates a feeling

of laziness and lack of enthusiasm in participating in

learning at school. Therefore, teachers are required to

innovate in order to overcome these problems. One of

the innovations that can be done is with simulator

learning media.

Digital simulator learning media in the

application forms can be used to flexible study both

in terms of location and time. Changes in the

atmosphere of the process to teaching and learning

activities such as adding simulators in interesting

media and leading to basic competencies and

computers can be used as an alternative to make

students more motivated to concentrate on learning.

One usage for the learning medium is the

development of computer-based learning media

simulator models. The simulator model is a model for

delivering information or messages in the form of a

concept presented on a computer screen with text,

images, or graphics (Reza Mega Mawarni,Rina

Harimurti, 2016).

In “dasar-dasar otomotif” subject, there is

especially basic electricity material. With this

simulator media, it is hoped that students will be more

interested and increasing their curiosity in the basic

material of electricity. This material itself has the

competence to carry out simple electrical circuits.

Which is the initial foundation of light vehicle

electrical material. So,with this media it is very

suitable when using this media simulator.

There are many simulators application models

that can be used as learning media, one of which is

the proteus software. This software is one of the

electronic software used to design and simulate

electronic circuits so that the software is chosen as a

suitable learning medium to support learning of

simple electrical systems. By using the proteus

application, digital system learning activities are

easier to understand (Syahminan,2020).

Based on the description above,it is very

important to develop simulation-based learning

media to support practical learning of lighting

systems that can improve student competence.

Simulator learning media is expected to be able to

help students for simulating an assemble of a series to

simple electrical systems so that when carrying out

practices it can reduce trial and error as the learning

can run effectively and efficiently.
