Investigation of Vocational Students' Skills for Determining Learning Experiences on CAD Construction Drawing Course

As a part of developing research to design a vocational course, this study aims to examine students' skills in the industries and discover the gap between industry need and vocational students' skills. The future work is determining the relevant learning experiences for the course. It is a gap evaluation study using 130 samples selected from four vocational high schools by proportional random sampling with descriptive analysis and matched-pairs Wilcoxon test. The results showed the construction drawing skills are in a Good category of 68.26 with a Low discrepancy of 31.74% and the collaborative skills are in a Fair category of 61.69 with a Low discrepancy of 38.31%. Furthermore, the lowest students' skills with the highest gap are the collaborative skills, prioritizing collaboration between peers of 57.50 with 42.50% discrepancy, prioritizing the team's expectations of 58.08 with 41.92% discrepancy, and prioritizing group responsibilities and learning interdependence of 58.65 with 41.35% discrepancy.
