Assessment or evaluation is the activity of collecting student information or a program of activities related to certain dimensions or attributes, such as student learning outcomes in teaching a field of study or the effectiveness of studying a field of study organized by the teacher, to be compared. Dimensional or characteristic excellence standards are associated with students or activity programs. For example, Quizizz, a digital platform that helps students master reading, is a multiplayer class activity that allows all students to practice reading skills using mobile devices, such as tablets, iPads, and Smartphones. This research use the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE research development model which is very applicable in the development of formal education. Based on the results of the validation value analysis carried out by two validators, the average percentage of very feasible category assessment instruments was 90.62 percent. Based on the results of the validity test shown on the 32 multiple choice HOTS questions used in the pilot study with 33 students, 26 items were determined to be valid. Based on the results of the reliability test, the value of the test analysis is included in the "high" category. The study of the difficulty level of the 32 questions yielded the following results: 15 simple questions, 14 moderate questions, and three challenging questions. In addition, according to the analysis of discriminatory power, nine items fall into the proper category, 21 items fall into the good category, one item falls into the poor category, and one item falls into the very poor category.

The paper aims to describe the effort to optimize special job fairs in the tracer study conducted by Public Vocational High School (PVHS). This was a literature review using the content analysis method, in which the researcher reviewed some research and studies published in both national and international journals and other written works relevant to the topic of this article, namely optimalizing Special Job Fairs in VET tracer studies. The result of the review showed that the unemployment rate of VHS graduates was higher than that of other educational institutions. One of the causal factors behind this poor condition was the fact that those graduates had difficulty making steps in building their career after graduation. This suggested the need for the optimization of special job fairs as events held to provide strategic direction and illustration of what VHS students should do after graduation. The tracer study under discussion in this article dealt with the distribution of students working in Business and Industrial World

The results stated that the fiber optic laboratory development model is used to print graduates to have competencies that are in accordance with their fields and are expected to be able to compete in the industrial world. Schools collaborate with industry through the provision of fiber optic laboratories as an effort to improve these competencies. By conducting several stages, namely applying the MoU, affording the tools, branding and mocking-ups. In addition, there are teacher training and certification activities followed by curriculum implementation, student certification and the last is activity evaluation. It can be concluded that the development of fiber optic laboratory procurement at Public Vocational High School (PVHS) of Dwija Bhakti 1 Jombang has been in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Education and Culture with PT Telkom regarding the link and match curriculum in the field of fiber optic.

The industrial class was formed to provide a knowledge and broader insight to students based on the development of competencies required by industries. However, several Vocational High Schools (VHS) unused industrial classes during the pandemic because the school partner industries is being impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The study was conducted to determine the implementation of industrial class model used during the pandemic. The research method uses quasi-qualitative. The research was conducted at Telkom Malang Vocational High School on software engineering skills competency. The finding showed collaboration form in the industrial class between industriesand VHS are curriculum synchronization, student selection, teacher training, implementation of street vendors and job recruitment. The implementation of industrial class is done online by monitoring students by school and industry supervisors. Industrial class students have a group project task formed. Supporting and inhibiting factors in the sustainability of the industrial class during the pandemic. Supporting factors are selected students with high abilities by selection process, and industrial partner support for industrial class implementation. While the inhibiting factor is online learning process, it cannot help the teacher to monitor student activities and build students mental directly.

Teachers with good competency will impact the quality of Education. The teachers' responsibility in educating, teaching, guiding, managing, training, and evaluating must be well-developed so that the results can directly contribute in improving the quality of education because qualified teachers could manifest a highly qualified education. Therefore, some factors that have determinant values need to be considered as necessary to construct qualified teachers. Teachers' competency improvement can be made in various ways, including through the training session. Teacher training aimed to advance the competence of teachers, especially for Machinery Engineering teachers so that they can meet the specified standards. The training model designed in the paper sought to explain 2D and 3D CADD training with the 2020 inventor using the project-based learning model. This paper was expected to be able to manifest the concept of teacher training using Project Based-Learning in training institution so that it can be able to help in improving the teachers' competency

Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hasil kinerja dari rangkaian elek­tro­plati­ng sederhana dengan menggunakan nikel sebagai logam pelapis dan spesimen baja karbon menengah sebagai logam yang dilapisi. Penelitian ini ditulis dengan hasil ana­lisis dari beberapa perlakuan elektroplating yang menggunakan temperatur larutan 64-66 oC, lama pencelupan 10, 15, dan 20 menit berdasarkan tinjauan pustaka yang ada. Hasil elektroplating dengan waktu pencelupan 10, 15, dan 20 menit diperoleh data rata-rata ketebalan lapisan sebesar 5,30; 7,93; dan 10,87 µm, semakin lama waktu pencelupan yang digunakan maka tebal lapisan logam nikel pada baja karbon menengah meningkat rata-rata penambahan lapisan sebesar 2,79 µm. Pada hasil elektroplating terdapat beberapa cacat lapisan seperti peeling, rough deposite dan pitting.
