Design of Competency Test Model for Electrical Installation Automation Based Project Learning for Electrical Engineering Students

This study aims to produce a competency test model of electrical installation automation expertise based on project learning, and determine the characteristics of its application in learning. The competency test model was developed using the R&D method by following the 4-D model design. The competency test model was developed based on the competency requirements of the business world/industrial business (DUDI) as a graduate user. The test instrument was analyzed for validity and reliability. The model test goes through 2 stages, first the competency test (UKK) model assessment of the Electrical Installation Automation by integrating from authentic assessment methods, namely knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The second stage is the assessment of the characteristics of the model through user responses in this case students. Data analysis is quantitative to determine the effectiveness and implementation by taking into account the level of inter-reliability agreement using the Cohhen 'kappa (κ) coefficient. Analysis of authentic reliability assessment shows very good with the average effectiveness value of 3.84 and the average performance of 3.88. The results of the assessment analysis of the achievement of good student competencies (competent) with mean values: cognitive (7.21), psychomotor (7.13), and effective (8.75). It needs to be improved cognitive and psychomotor abilities to be comparable to the affective. These results indicate that the Project-Based Learning Automation competency test model based on feasible can be widely used.
