Pengembangan Learning Management System (LMS) dengan Model Pembelajaran Berbasis Proyek (PjBL) untuk Meningkatkan Kompetensi Junior Programmer pada Siswa (Studi Kasus di SMKN 1 Kediri)

Development of a Learning Management System (LMS) with a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) Model to Improve Junior Programmer Competencies in Students (Case Study at SMKN 1 Kediri)

Dalam era transformasi digital, kebutuhan akan penguasaan keterampilan teknologi, khususnya di bidang pemrograman, menjadi semakin mendesak. Pendidikan vokasi seperti SMK dituntut untuk menghasilkan lulusan yang kompeten dan siap bersaing di dunia kerja. Namun, tantangan utama yang dihadapi adalah metode pembelajaran konvensional yang cenderung kurang interaktif dan belum mampu mengakomodasi perkembangan teknologi terbaru. Salah satu pendekatan inovatif yang dapat diterapkan adalah Project Based Learning (PjBL), yang tidak hanya menekankan pada aspek teoritis, tetapi juga melibatkan siswa secara langsung dalam pengembangan proyek nyata.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan proses pengembangan dan validasi Learning Management System (LMS) berbasis Moodle dengan model pembelajaran Project Based Learning oleh validator ahli, serta menganalisis skor asesmen kompetensi guna mengetahui perbedaan rata-rata kompetensi junior programmer siswa di SMKN 1 Kediri. Diharapkan model pembelajaran ini dapat menciptakan proses belajar yang lebih kontekstual, kolaboratif, dan mendalam, sekaligus mengasah keterampilan kognitif dan psikomotorik siswa. LMS yang dikembangkan diberi nama Pemroke. Pengembangan dilakukan melalui metode Research and Development dengan model ADDIE, yang mencakup lima tahapan: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, dan Evaluation. Hasil validasi oleh dua dosen ahli media menunjukkan bahwa LMS yang dikembangkan memperoleh skor rata-rata sebesar 76%, yang termasuk dalam kategori "valid". Selain itu, hasil black box testing menunjukkan bahwa seluruh fungsi dalam LMS bekerja secara optimal sesuai dengan rancangan. Berdasarkan hasil analisis perbedaan rata-rata skor asesmen kompetensi pada aspek kognitif dan psikomotorik, diperoleh peningkatan yang signifikan setelah pembelajaran menggunakan LMS berbasis PjBL. Rata-rata nilai posttest kognitif sebesar 86, lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan pretest sebesar 67. Sementara itu, nilai rata-rata posttest psikomotorik sebesar 88 meningkat dari pretest sebesar 76. Hasil uji Wilcoxon menunjukkan nilai signifikansi 0,000 (< 0,05), yang menandakan terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara skor sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan. Dengan demikian, H₁ diterima. Artinya, penggunaan LMS “Pemroke” berbasis Project Based Learning terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kompetensi junior programmer siswa kelas XI TKJ 1 SMKN 1 Kediri.

In the era of digital transformation, the need for mastery of technological skills, especially programming, is becoming increasingly urgent. Vocational education such as in vocational schools is required to produce competent graduates who are ready to compete in the world of work. However, the main challenge faced is the conventional learning method which is less interactive and has not been able to accommodate the latest technological developments. One innovative approach that can be applied is Project Based Learning (PjBL), which not only focuses on theory, but also involves students directly in developing real projects. This study aims to describe the process of developing and validating a Moodle-based Learning Management System (LMS) with a Project Based Learning model by expert validators, and to analyze competency assessment scores to determine the differences in the average competency of junior programmer students at SMKN 1 Kediri. It is expected that learning will be more contextual, collaborative, and able to hone students' cognitive and psychomotor skills. The LMS developed, named Pemroke, is designed to create an interactive and in-depth learning experience, so that students not only understand the basic concepts of programming, but are also able to apply them in the form of real projects.The development of LMS was carried out using the Research and Development method with the ADDIE model consisting of five stages, namely Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Based on the validation results by two media expert lecturers, the Moodle-based LMS with the Project-Based Learning approach obtained an average score of 76%, which is included in the valid category. The results of black box testing also showed that all functions on the media ran well and according to design, so that this media was declared to function optimally. Based on the analysis of the difference in the average scores of junior programmer competency assessments, both in cognitive and psychomotor aspects, an indication of an increase in scores was obtained after using the Project-Based Learning-based LMS. The average cognitive posttest score reached 86, higher than the average pretest score of 67. Meanwhile, in the psychomotor aspect, the average posttest score reached 88, higher than the pretest score of 76. This was proven through the Wilcoxon test with a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05), which indicated that there was a difference in competency assessment scores before and after treatment. From these results, the decision was made that H1 was accepted or there was a difference in the average score of the junior programmer student competency assessment before and after using the "Pemroke" LMS with the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model.
