Eligibility of Certification Schemes for the Electrical Installation Competency of Electrical Engineering Education Study Program Students

The objectives of this study were to: (1) know the weaknesses of current certification model, (2) describe a Certification Scheme of Electrical Installation Competency for the Electrical Engineering Education Study Program (EEESP) Students', Faculty of Engineering, Yogyakarta State University, and (3) know the eligibility of the Certification Scheme for Electrical Installation Competency of Electrical engineering Education Study program Students'. This research was conducted in the Department of Electrical Engineering Education, Faculty of Engineering, Yogyakarta State University from February to September 2020. This research is survey. The data collection used a questionnaire and an assessment of the feasibility of the certification scheme. The research respondents were lecturers, students, assessors, and practitioners in the field of Electrical Installation Competency. The validation of the research instrument was based on expert judgment by calculating the Aiken's V index. The reliabilities of instrument were measured by Alpha Cronbach and Inter rater using interclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The data analysis technique used quantitative descriptive analysis, namely mean and percentage. The results of the research were as follows: (1) The weaknesses of current certification model were: (a) expensive competency test costs (77%), (b) there is no special certification scheme for the Electrical Engineering Education Study Program students as a prospective teacher (68%), (c) unclear competency test mechanism (52%), (d) inadequate competency test material (51%), and (f) the competency level tested was not suitable (32%); (2) The developed certification scheme is Low Voltage Electrical Installation Engineering Competency for EEESP Students'; (3) The Eligibility of the Electrical Installation Competency Certification Scheme for EEESP Students' is very eligible with an average score of 3.66 out of 4.00.
