Abstract

This study aims to examine the comparative effectiveness of Computer-Aided Instruction (CAI) on learning outcomes in electronics maintenance and assembly between Senior High School (SMA) and Vocational High School (SMK) graduates. This research employs a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest approach involving two groups of students from different educational backgrounds. The CAI learning model was implemented to assess its impact on improving student achievement. The results indicate that the use of CAI significantly enhances student learning outcomes, particularly in the competencies of electronics maintenance and assembly. Moreover, SMK graduates demonstrated higher learning achievement compared to SMA graduates after the implementation of the CAI model. These findings suggest that CAI is not only effective in improving learning outcomes but also relevant for application in vocational education settings. Teachers and students responded positively to the use of this model, indicating a high level of practicality in technology-based learning implementation.
