Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of work skills learning in the Caregiver Training Program at the Hainara Gakuin Job Training Institute (LPK) in Bengkulu City. The research focuses on the implementation of learning methods, the use of media and learning resources, educational interactions between instructors and participants, and the implementation of learning evaluations. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data collection techniques were conducted through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation studies. Research informants consisted of managers, instructors, and caregiver training participants. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the learning methods used included lectures, demonstrations, direct practice, questions and answers, and repetitive exercises (drills) tailored to the characteristics of the work skills material. Learning media utilized included projectors, laptops, and audio-visual media, while learning resources came from caregiver books, training modules, and the instructors' direct experiences. Educational interactions between instructors and participants were two-way and supported active participant participation in learning. Learning evaluation was conducted through theory and practical exams, but the practical assessment was not yet equipped with a systematic written assessment instrument.
