also provide skills to compete in the world of
industry and business. Regarding the low quality of
the workforce in Indonesia, especially in terms of
skills, this training institute becomes a reference to
enhance the quality of workforce. According to the
statistics, Indonesia's labor force in February 2015
was 128.38 million people. The working population
reached 114.82 million and the unemployment rate
was 56 million. The working population is
dominated by people with junior and senior
secondary education with a total number of 3523624
people compared with the population working with
undergraduate education, 495143 people (BPS,
2015). The high number of labors with high school
and junior high school educational background
indicates that the current workforce still lacks the
necessary skills to work. The labor and social trends
data by ILO in August 2014, reveals that 55.5% of
factory and machinery operators and assemblers do
not meet DUDI requirements. Moreover, 52.5% of
technicians and professionals in companies do not
meet the requirements. Fortunately, the data shows
that 39.1% of the administrative staffs in office have
fulfilled DUDI requirements. Of 147298 people
graduates of Course and Training Institute (LKP),
68215 people worked, 13672 people developed their
independent business, while 18344 people are
attending their education and training, and 47065
people are unemployed (source: Recap of most LKP
information graduates, infokursus.net: April 4,
2016). The data shows that 40% of LKP graduates
are still unemployed. It can be caused by various
things, one of them is the lack of competence of
LKP graduates with the demand of the work.
Not only in formal education, but in non-formal
education also has to make many changes to
improve the quality of the learners as those in the
institution of the course or training. The
development of learning from time to time rapidly
requires a variety of new breakthroughs such as
approaches and innovative learning that can become
a medium of knowledge for learners regionally and
globally. This condition becomes an opportunity for
the course and training institution to provide skills
for the workforce in accordance with the needs of
the business world. If the expectations of the
business world are workers with good knowledge,
skills and attitude of the workplace, then the
application of learning should be able to provide
knowledge and experience directly from the real
world of work. Many models and methods that can
be applied in the learning process, one of which is
work-based learning (hereinafter abbreviated as
WBL), is a model of learning that is well integrated
with formal educational institutions and the world of
industry. As quoted from Bailey et al. (2004: 2),
some educational reformers argue that integrating
school experiences with classroom learning is an
effective approach to engage students with their
studies and help them to prepare their education and
work after high school (Hamilton, 1990; Jobs for the
Future, 1994). This experience frequently involves
employment in private and public sector
organizations. The reformers made various claims
about the educational benefits of this type of work-
based learning, and in many cases, these things have
touched a responsive tone. As quoted from Quick
(2010: 259), a unique way of work-based learning
that integrates individual learning needs with role
needs makes the ideal choice award for Advanced
Perioperative Practitioners who want to combine
academic studies with professional development, as
an experienced and professional-quality practitioner
(Boud and Solomon, 2001: 5; Thatcher 2003). Thus,
education is not just a matter of transfer of
knowledge in simple way, but there are separate
processes and mechanisms for the purpose of
learning that can be achieved according to
predetermined targets. It involves the mastery and
alteration of knowledge, skills, strategies, beliefs,
attitudes, and behaviors (Schunk, 2012: 2). In
education, all processes in it are systematic and
planned which are all summarized by the model of
learning. Learning model is a whole series of unity
among learning approach, learning strategy, learning
method, learning technique, and learning tactics.
(Komalasari, 2013).
The learning model is basically a form of
learning illustrated from beginning to end that is
typically presented by the teacher. Thus, in order for
educators to perform their duties professionally, they
must understand and be skilled in developing
various models of learning effectively, creatively
and fun. They must use and develop models that are
appropriate to the real conditions in the classroom
and are assumed to achieve targets in learning.
Instruction is the domain of educators, which is
primarily concerned with the direct application of
teaching methods in the classroom and other
learning settings. This applied focus is not always
good for exploring how the learning process is
influenced by instructional variation (Schunk, 2012:
18). Educators should also know how the brain
develops because developmental change should be
considered in planning instructions to ensure student
learning (Schunk, 2012: 50). Thus, teachers or
educators should be able to make careful planning of
learning, especially in the application of the model
