Abstract

Senior High Schools (SMA) and Vocational High Schools (SMK) are high school levels whose output can direct graduates into the workforce or have them continue to the tertiary level. The two types of high schools certainly have different curricula. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a difference between students from SMA and SMK in the learning outcomes of Electrical Engineering students at the Universitas Negeri Surabaya. The method used in this research is the quantitative method, by comparing the learning outcomes of students from SMA and SMK with the learning outcomes of 5 engineering courses and Grade Point Average (GPA) in the first semester. To find out the differences in their learning outcomes, a t-test with the help of SPSS software was used. In the component of course scores, 64 students of the Electrical Engineering study program class of 2019 are compared, but in the GPA component with the t-test, 24 students of each type of graduate are taken randomly. From the results of data processing, it is known that SMK graduates only excel in 1 course, while high school graduates excel in 4 courses. Overall, high school graduates get a higher GPA than vocational high school graduates. The t-test results show that Sig <0.05. From these results, it can be concluded that there are differences in the learning outcomes of students from SMA in comparison to those from SMK. © 2020 IEEE.
