Pembelajaran Menggunakan Laboratorium Komputer Terhadap Antusiasme Belajar Siswa SMK S - YPSEI Palangka Raya

Introduction

Pembelajaran menggunakan laboratorium komputer terhadap antusiasme belajar siswa smk s - ypsei palangka raya. Pelajari dampak positif penggunaan laboratorium komputer terhadap antusiasme belajar siswa SMK di Palangka Raya. Penelitian ini membuktikan lab komputer signifikan tingkatkan semangat belajar.

Abstract

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh belum optimalnya pemanfaatan laboratorium komputer dalam proses pembelajaran di SMKS-YPSEI Palangka Raya, yang diduga berdampak pada motivasi dan semangat belajar siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh pemanfaatan laboratorium komputer terhadap semangat belajar siswa. Menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif, sampel penelitian ini ditentukan melalui teknik sampling jenuh dengan melibatkan 18 siswa sebagai responden. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan kuesioner skala Likert yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya. Teknik analisis data meliputi uji asumsi klasik (normalitas dan linearitas) serta analisis regresi linear sederhana menggunakan SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemanfaatan laboratorium komputer dan semangat belajar siswa berada pada kategori cukup tinggi. Hasil uji-t menunjukkan bahwa pemanfaatan laboratorium komputer berpengaruh signifikan terhadap semangat belajar siswa (t = 2,700; p = 0,002 < 0,05). Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa optimalisasi fasilitas digital berkontribusi nyata dalam meningkatkan gairah belajar siswa. Oleh karena itu, pendidik disarankan untuk mengintegrasikan pembelajaran di laboratorium komputer secara kreatif dan efektif guna mempertahankan serta meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran.

Review

The study titled "Pembelajaran Menggunakan Laboratorium Komputer Terhadap Antusiasme Belajar Siswa SMK S - YPSEI Palangka Raya" addresses a highly pertinent issue concerning the effective integration of technology in vocational education. The authors' objective to analyze the influence of computer laboratory utilization on student learning enthusiasm directly tackles the identified problem of sub-optimal use of these facilities within their specific institutional context. This research is commendable for focusing on a practical challenge—enhancing student motivation through technology—which is crucial for fostering engagement and improving learning outcomes in today's increasingly digital educational landscape. Methodologically, the study employs a quantitative descriptive approach, utilizing a saturated sampling technique to involve 18 students from SMKS-YPSEI Palangka Raya. Data collection was executed using a validated and reliable Likert scale questionnaire, with analysis performed via classical assumption tests and simple linear regression using SPSS. The findings are clear: both computer lab utilization and student learning enthusiasm were categorized as "quite high," and a significant positive influence of computer lab utilization on student learning enthusiasm was statistically established (t = 2.700; p = 0.002 < 0.05). This provides a strong empirical basis for the authors' conclusion that optimizing digital facilities demonstrably contributes to heightened student engagement, leading to a practical recommendation for educators to creatively integrate lab-based learning. While the study offers valuable insights within its specific context, potential limitations and areas for future development should be considered. The primary strength lies in its clear objective and the quantitative validation of the hypothesis. However, the relatively small sample size of 18 students, drawn from a single institution, inevitably constrains the generalizability of these findings. Expanding the research to include a larger and more diverse sample across multiple vocational schools would significantly enhance the external validity of the conclusions. Furthermore, while "learning enthusiasm" is a key indicator, future studies could explore other dimensions of student engagement, such as cognitive involvement, self-efficacy, or academic performance, to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the benefits of computer lab integration. Despite these considerations, the paper provides a solid foundation for understanding the impact of technology infrastructure on student motivation in vocational settings and offers actionable insights for local pedagogical improvements.
