Treffer: The effectiveness of problem based learning training methods on improving motorcycle mechanical skills in short training.

Good training provides real experience with the work that trainees will face later on the job. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of problem-based learning methods in motorcycle mechanic training in short training. selection of problem-based training based on the needs of trainees who will repair motorcycles while working in industry. The technique used is quasi-experimental. Participants were divided into two classes, namely the training class and the experimental class. This training activity involved eight participants. The results showed that the problem-based learning method had a higher effectiveness. Practical courses that receive problem based learning training methods produce 45%, while the control class produces 30%. So it can be said that problem-based learning is effectively used as a method of training vocational education skills. Training using the problem based learning method provides experience in overcoming problems that arise in real work. Problems given in training should be the same as problems in the workplace. Using problem-based learning methods also improves the trainee's ability to think critically; active participants asked questions during the training. Problem-based learning provides a lot of interaction between instructors and trainees, and they are problems that arise on motorcycles. while in the control class, the trainees did not interact with the instructor, even though they were able to complete the work.
