Abstract

The training model carried out by teachers in schools has little impact on student competence, especially preparing students later after graduating from school. This study aims to determine: (1) product validity of total quality management model integrated with soft skills based on Competency Based Training; and (2) product effectiveness of the total quality management model integrated with soft skills based on Compentency Based Training implemented in increasing the interest and competence of developed vocational high school students. This research includes development research carried out by vocational high school teachers in Medan City. Subjects in this study were students consisting of 36 people. The object of this research is a product of total quality management model integrated with soft skills based on Competency Based Training. The research results show that: (1) In the validation of material experts, it is known that the average of total score of Competency Based Training material according to material experts is 96,5 with a percentage of 91,9% in the very feasible category. Furthermore, based on the validation of media experts, it is known that the average of total score of total quality management model integrated with soft skills based on Competency Based Training according to media experts is 88 with a percentage of 95,9% in the very feasible category; (2) The results of the analysis can be seen from the calculation of the t value for the training factor of 7.322, it can be concluded that tcount = 7.322 >  with ttable = 2.042, this value is much smaller than the significance level of 0,05, so it was concluded that H₀ which stated that the soft skills behavior of students who were taught with the total quality management model integrated with CBT-based soft skills was lower than the student learning outcomes of students who were taught with conventional training models were rejected. In other words, it can be stated that the learning outcomes of students who are taught with total quality management model integrated with CBT-based soft skills are higher than the behavior of soft skills of students who are taught with conventional training models.
