Abstrak

Pendidikan vokasi harus memastikan bahwa siswa tidak hanya memperoleh kompetensi teknis, tetapi juga kepercayaan diri dan kemampuan berpikir kritis yang diperlukan untuk tugas-tugas di dunia nyata. Studi ini menyelidiki efektivitas model pembelajaran berbasis mentor dalam meningkatkan kinerja siswa dalam praktik Las Busur Logam Terlindung (SMAW) dalam mata pelajaran Kreativitas, Inovasi, dan Kewirausahaan di SMK Negeri 1 Singosari, Indonesia. Menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif, data dikumpulkan dari 70 siswa kelas XI jurusan teknik mesin melalui penilaian kinerja terstruktur dan kuesioner skala Likert. Hasil menunjukkan skor kinerja rata-rata tinggi sebesar 84,04 dengan simpangan baku 3,18, di mana 89% siswa dikategorikan sebagai “Tinggi” dan 11% sebagai “Sangat Tinggi.” Skor kinerja meningkat secara bertahap melalui tahap-tahap penilaian, dan siswa melaporkan peningkatan kepercayaan diri, motivasi, dan ketepatan prosedural. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa bimbingan terstruktur secara signifikan mendukung penguasaan teknis, mengurangi kesenjangan keterampilan, dan menumbuhkan kebiasaan belajar reflektif. Disimpulkan bahwa pembelajaran yang dibimbing oleh mentor seharusnya diintegrasikan secara lebih luas dalam kurikulum vokasi. Disarankan pula agar penelitian masa depan mengeksplorasi dampak jangka panjang bimbingan terhadap kesiapan kerja, kreativitas, dan mindset kewirausahaan di bidang teknis lainnya.

Kata Kunci: pendidikan kejuruan, pengelasan, peningkatan kinerja, teknik mesin
