Kata Kunci: Problem Solving Skill, Communication Skill, Collaboration Skill, Kesiapan Kerja

Kesiapan kerja dianggap sangat penting bagi penyedia tenaga kerja. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan dunia pekerjaan, maka penting bagi sekolah khususnya SMK membekali siswa dengan beberapa keterampilan utama yang diperlukan pada abad ke-21, seperti pemecahan masalah, berkomunikasi, serta berkolaborasi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis: (1) ada tidaknya pengaruh problem solving skill terhadap kesiapan kerja siswa TKR SMKN se-Kabupaten Bojonegoro, (2) ada tidaknya pengaruh communication skill terhadap kesiapan kerja siswa TKR SMKN se-Kabupaten Bojonegoro, (3) ada tidaknya pengaruh collaboration skill terhadap kesiapan kerja siswa TKR SMKN se-Kabupaten Bojonegoro, dan (4) ada tidaknya pengaruh problem solving skill, communication skill, collaboration skill secara bersama terhadap kesiapan kerja siswa TKR SMKN se-Kabupaten Bojonegoro.

Metode yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian kuantitatif jenis survey. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah semua siswa kelas XII program keahlian TKR SMKN se-Kabupaten Bojonegoro berjumlah 1152 siswa, sedangkan sampel penelitian sebanyak 297 siswa, atau sampel sebesar 26% dari populasi semua siswa SMKN yang tersebar di Bojonegoro. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah validasi isi angket oleh ahli dan angket siswa. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah lembar angket siswa yang terdiri dari angket kesiapan kerja, angket problem solving skill, angket communication skill, dan angket collaboration skill. Uji prasyarat analisis meliputi: (1) normalitas, (2) multikolinieritas, dan (3) heteroskedastisitas, sedangkan teknik analisis data menggunakan analisis regresi linier berganda menggunakan uji f.

Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa: (1) terdapat pengaruh problem solving skill  terhadap kesiapan kerja siswa TKR SMKN se-Kabupaten Bojonegoro dengan nilai t_hitung sebesar 11,12> 1,97, (2) terdapat pengaruh communication skill terhadap kesiapan kerja siswa TKR SMKN se-Kabupaten Bojonegoro, nilai t_hitung sebesar 2,41> 1,97, (3) terdapat pengaruh collaboration skill terhadap kesiapan kerja siswa TKR SMKN se-Kabupaten Bojonegoro, nilai t_hitung sebesar 2,37 > 1,97, dan (4) Terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan secara bersama problem solving skill, communication skill, collaboration skill terhadap kesiapan kerja siswa TKR SMKN se-Kabupaten Bojonegoro, nilai f_hitung problem solving skill, communication skill, dan collaboration skill sebesar 197,59 > 2,64. Persentase pengaruh yang diberikan problem solving skill, communication skill, dan collaboration skill secara simultan terhadap kesiapan kerja adalah sebesar 66,9%. Persentase pengaruh yang diberikan problem solving skill terhadap variabel kesiapan kerja adalah sebesar 46,09%, persentase pengaruh yang diberikan communication skill terhadap kesiapan kerja adalah sebesar 11,23%, dan persentase pengaruh yang diberikan collaboration skill terhadap kesiapan kerja adalah sebesar 9,56%. Kontribusi sumbangan paling besar adalah variabel problem solving skill dibandingkan dengan dua variabel lainnya. Penelitian ini berimplikasi pada pentingnya peningkatan keterampilan abad ke-21 khususnya dalam problem solving, komunikasi, dan kolaborasi, untuk mempersiapkan siswa TKR SMKN menghadapi dunia kerja. Program pendidikan dan pelatihan dapat lebih difokuskan pada pengembangan keterampilan ini secara terintegrasi agar siswa lebih siap dan kompetitif dalam memasuki dunia kerja.

Keywords: Problem Solving Skill, Communication Skill, Collaboration Skill, Work Readiness

Work readiness is considered crucial for workforce providers. To meet the demands of the professional world, it is essential for schools, particularly vocational high schools (SMKs), to equip students with key 21st-century skills, such as problem-solving, communication, and collaboration. This study aims to analyze: (1) whether problem-solving skills influence the work readiness of TKR (Automotive Engineering) students at vocational high schools (SMKN) across Bojonegoro Regency, (2) whether communication skills influence the work readiness of TKR students at SMKN in Bojonegoro Regency, (3) whether collaboration skills influence the work readiness of TKR students at SMKN in Bojonegoro Regency, and (4) whether problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills collectively influence the work readiness of TKR students at SMKN in Bojonegoro Regency.

This study employed a quantitative survey method. The population consisted of all 1,152 12th-grade students in the TKR program at SMKN in Bojonegoro Regency, with a sample size of 297 students, representing 26% of the total population. Data collection techniques included expert validation of questionnaires and student surveys. The instruments used were student questionnaires comprising work readiness, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills questionnaires. The prerequisite tests for analysis included: (1) normality, (2) multicollinearity, and (3) heteroscedasticity tests, while data analysis utilized multiple linear regression analysis with an F-test.

The study revealed that: (1) problem-solving skills significantly influenced the work readiness of TKR students at SMKN in Bojonegoro Regency, with a t-value of 11.12 > 1.97, (2) communication skills significantly influenced work readiness, with a t-value of 2.41 > 1.97, (3) collaboration skills significantly influenced work readiness, with a t-value of 2.37 > 1.97, and (4) problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills collectively had a significant effect on work readiness, with an F-value of 197.59 > 2.64. The percentage of the combined influence of problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills on work readiness was 66.9%. Specifically, problem-solving skills contributed 46.09% to work readiness, communication skills contributed 11.23%, and collaboration skills contributed 9.56%. Among the variabels, problem-solving skills made the largest contribution compared to the other two variabels. This study underscores the importance of enhancing 21st-century skills, particularly in problem-solving, communication, and collaboration, to prepare TKR SMKN students for the workforce. Educational and training programs should focus on developing these skills in an integrated manner to ensure students are better prepared and more competitive when entering the professional world.
