The Implementation of Scientific Learning at Automotive Engineering Study Program on Vocational High School

-The implementation of curriculum 2013 has changed some educational aspects. As the result, many problems appeared such as difficulties in conducting the authentic evaluation, implementing scientific learning using student-centered learning principle and encouraging the class to be active. To solve the problems, it is important to understand the implementation and problems of scientific learning at SMK. Therefore, a quantitative method with exposed facto approach was used to collect data. According to the results of the data analysis, it was concluded that: (1) the implementation of scientific learning: instructional planning, implementing, and evaluating was generally concluded by teachers. However, it was not conducted optimally for the weakness in ”questioning” and “communicating” process. (2) some problems identified in the scientific learning implementation were: (a) difficulties in determining an instructional model and learning materials, (b) learning media limitation, (c) time management in the learning process, and (d) raising student motivation.
