PENINGKATAN PENGETAHUAN DASAR KABEL JARINGAN KOMPUTER UNTUK SISWA KELAS X JURUSAN TKJ SMK PEMBANGUNAN MRANGGEN

Introduction

Peningkatan pengetahuan dasar kabel jaringan komputer untuk siswa kelas x jurusan tkj smk pembangunan mranggen. Pelatihan PkM Universitas Semarang tingkatkan pemahaman & keterampilan siswa SMK TKJ Pembangunan Mranggen dalam instalasi kabel jaringan komputer (LAN UTP). Hasilnya, kompetensi dasar meningkat pesat untuk kesiapan industri.

Abstract

Minimnya pemahaman dan keterampilan siswa kelas X jurusan TKJ di SMK Pembangunan Mranggen dalam pengkabelan jaringan komputer menjadi kendala utama dalam pembelajaran. Hal ini diperburuk dengan terbatasnya praktik di sekolah. Untuk mengatasinya, tim Universitas Semarang melaksanakan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) berupa pelatihan instalasi jaringan LAN menggunakan kabel UTP. Kegiatan meliputi ceramah, praktik langsung, dan evaluasi melalui pre-test dan post-test. Pelatihan selama tiga jam ini diikuti 15 siswa. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman dari 3,3% menjadi 95,8%. Kegiatan ini berhasil meningkatkan kompetensi dasar siswa dalam membuat dan menguji kabel jaringan sesuai standar. Luaran yang dicapai meliputi peningkatan keterampilan siswa, modul pelatihan, publikasi media online, dan pengajuan HKI. Program ini diharapkan menjadi fondasi pembelajaran praktik yang lebih kuat untuk mendukung kesiapan siswa menghadapi dunia industri berbasis jaringan komputer.

Review

The submitted work, "PENINGKATAN PENGETAHUAN DASAR KABEL JARINGAN KOMPUTER UNTUK SISWA KELAS X JURUSAN TKJ SMK PEMBANGUNAN MRANGGEN," addresses a highly relevant and pressing issue within vocational education: the inadequate foundational knowledge and practical skills of students in computer network cabling. The abstract clearly identifies the core problem as a lack of understanding and hands-on experience among Grade X TKJ students at SMK Pembangunan Mranggen, further exacerbated by limited practical learning opportunities. This paper details a community service initiative (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat - PkM) by Universitas Semarang, designed to directly tackle this competency gap through targeted training, focusing on the crucial skill of LAN network installation using UTP cables. The methodology employed for this PkM activity appears straightforward and effective, involving a three-hour training session for 15 students, which combined lectures, direct practical application, and a robust evaluation mechanism using pre-test and post-test assessments. The reported results are remarkably positive, demonstrating a significant leap in understanding from an initial 3.3% to an impressive 95.8%. This quantitative improvement strongly indicates the immediate success of the intervention in enhancing students' basic competence in creating and testing standard network cables. Furthermore, the initiative generated valuable outputs including a training module, online media publication, and the submission of Intellectual Property Rights (HKI), demonstrating a comprehensive approach beyond mere instruction. Overall, this abstract presents a well-executed community service program with clear objectives and demonstrably positive outcomes. Its primary strength lies in its direct response to an identified educational need with a practical, hands-on solution, yielding measurable improvements in student knowledge and skills. The successful elevation of foundational competencies for these vocational students is commendable and sets a strong precedent. The program's aspiration to serve as a stronger practical learning foundation and prepare students for the computer network-based industry highlights its potential long-term impact. This initiative provides a valuable model for universities engaging with vocational schools to bridge the gap between academic theory and industry-required practical expertise.
