PENGEMBANGAN MODUL KOMPUTER AKUNTANSI UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEMANDIRIAN BELAJAR SISWA DI SMK

Abstract

ABSTRACT
The objectives of this research are: (1) to develop the feasible module to be implemented in the Computerized Accounting learning at State Vocational High School and (2) to investigate the effective-ness of the developed module to improve the students’ learning autonomy in the Computerized Account-ing learning at State Vocational High School. This research used the applied research method in an at-tempt to produce a product and tested through an experimental model. It used the development and re-search procedures claimed by Borg and Gall (1983). The validation of the product design was done by a learning material expert, a practitioner, and a learning media expert. The subjects of the product test-ing included 10 students in the preliminary product testing, 30 students in Grade X Accounting 2 and 32 students in Grade Accounting 1 in the main extended-field testing. The data were collected with observa-tion, in-depth interview, questionnaire, and documentation. The data were analyzed by using the de-scriptive analysis and the inferential analysis. The results of the research are as follows: Firstly, the de-veloped module is feasible to be used in the Computerized Accounting learning as indicated by the re-sults of validation by experts and field testing to the students in which the average percentage of valida-tion by the learning material expert and practitioner was 97.00%, and that of validation by the learning media expert was 90.00%. The preliminary product testing resulted in the average percentage of 88.40%. Secondly, the developed module is effective in improving the students’ learning autonomy as indicated by the difference of learning autonomy between the class control and the experimental class with the significance value (Sig.) = 0.000 < α=0.05. Thus, the developed module is feasible and effective in improving the students’ learning autonomy in the Computerized Accounting learning at State Voca-tional High School.

ABSTRAK
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah: (1) untuk mengembangkan modul yang layak digunakan pada pembelajaran Komputer Akuntansi di SMK dan (2) untuk mengetahui keefektifan modul yang dikem-bangkan dalam meningkatkan kemandirian belajar siswa pada pembelajaran Komputer Akuntansi di SMK. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian terapan yang bertujuan untuk menghasilkan suatu produk dan diujicobakan dengan model eksperimen. Prosedur penelitian pengembangan mengadaptasi dari Borg and Gall (1983). Validasi desain dilakukan oleh ahli materi, praktisi, dan ahli media. Subjek uji coba terdiri dari 10 siswa dalam uji coba awal, serta 30 siswa kelas X Akuntansi dan 32 siswa kelas X Akuntansi 1 dalam uji coba lapangan. Pengumpulan data dengan catatan observasi dan wawancara, angket, serta dokumentasi. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis deskriptif dan an-alisis inferensial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan Pertama, modul yang dikembangkan dinyatakan layak digunakan pada pembelajaran komputer akuntansi menurut hasil validasi ahli dan uji coba pada siswa dengan rincian hasil validasi materi dan praktisi memeroleh persentase rata-rata 97,00%, hasil validasi media memeroleh persentase rata-rata 90,00%. Hasil uji coba awal memeroleh persentase rata-rata 88,40%. Kedua, modul yang dikembangkan efektif dalam meningkatkan kemandirian belajar siswa dengan ditemukan adanya perbedaan kemandirian belajar siswa antara kelas kontrol dan kelas tindakan dengan nilai Sig.=0,000 < α=0,05. Simpulan penelitian ini adalah pengembangan modul layak dan efek-tif dalam meningkatkan kemandirian belajar siswa pada pembelajaran Komputer Akuntansi di SMK.
