which state before in the achievement target or goal. Another step is deciding criteria and indicators implied by achievement target.
A criterion defines successfulness at meeting the target achievement Wiggins, 1998. Indicator stands for behavior or trait that is typical of the particular performance
being assessed Wiggins, 1998. Next step of designing a self-assessment is suggesting genres, contexts, and content of the self-assessment. This step is used to
refine the list of possible tasks types and contexts Wiggins, 1998. It also used to set a clear standard and criteria that wants to be achieved when doing a self-assessment.
6. The Vocational School
In Indonesia, the vocational school is better known as sekolah menengah kejuruan. As stated by Kuswara 2013: 3 vocational school consists of sekolah
menengah kejuruan SMK and madrasah aliyah kejuruan MAK. Vocational school is included in the level of pendidikan menengah which is a formal continuation
education from the level of pendidikan dasar. It can be said that this school is open to every student who graduates from junior high school level. As known, pendidikan
dasar includes junior high school, madrasah tsanawiyah or other equivalent level of schools. As named as vocational school, this school carries out vocational education
in the level of secondary school.
The vocational school is pretty different from the ordinary senior high school although they are in the same level of education. As stated by Kuswana 2013, the
vocational school refers to secondary schools which prepare their learners to work in a particular field. The vocational school focuses more on preparing their graduates to
become people who are ready to work. In the other words, learners of vocational school are equipped both knowledge and skills for working needs.
The vocational school is managed by both government and industry. As stated by Kuswana 2013: 157, vocational education is important for specific working
necessity, such as an industry, agriculture, or commerce field. Based on Keputusan Dirjen Mandikdasmen No. 25CKepMN2008 as cited in Kuswana 2013, learners
of vocational school have three structures of skill which are skill of discipline, skill of study program and skill of competences. Moreover, disciplines of vocational school
are differentiated into six fields which are a technology and engineering, b information technology and communication, c health, d arts, industry and tourism,
e agribusiness and agro technology, and f business and management. By the end of learning process in vocational school, every student must be
equipped with skills and competencies which are necessary for their living improvement. Salvia, Ysseldyke and Bolt 2010:3 state that education is intended to
provide all students with skills and competencies they need to enhance their lives and the lives of their fellow citizens.
Education must change the students’ living condition better. Skills and competencies that are owned during learning activity have to help
students face their future confidently.
Graduated students of the vocational school must fulfil some standards that are written in the Kerangka Kualifikasi Nasional Indonesia KKNI which also known as
Indonesian National Qualification Framework INQF. The INQF is a framework that places, equalizes, regulates education, work training and work experience to give an
admission of working competence which is appropriate with working structure in various sectors. The INQF divides qualification level into nine levels in which level 1
is the lowest and level 9 as the highest level. The INQF categorizes nine qualification levels into three certain functions; operator, technician and specialist level.
As described on the Indonesian National Qualification Framework INQF, graduates of the vocational school are involved in the level of operator. As operator,
every graduate must be able to do a particular duty using a tool, information, usual working procedures. They also are demanded to be able to show their measured
performance under their superior. They must own knowledge of basic operational and factual knowledge on a particular working area, so they can choose an appropriate
problem solving for usual occurred problem. They are also demanded to be responsible for their own work and can be responsible in guiding the others.
