Abstract
Assessment is an important part of vocational learning evaluations to be done carefully, thoroughly and profoundly to obtain objective
assessment criteria. If the assessment of professional practice is not done objectively, it can provide students' bias and sense of injustice.
This study provides an e-monitoring offer and compares e-monitoring with personal computers and Android mobile in process-based
assessment. The study used ten vocational instructors with 31 subjects tested. Assessment criteria refer to the ten assessment standards
are valid, objective, fair, integrated, open, systematic, relating to the requirements, accountable, and educative. The results showed that
active e-monitoring was applied after post-condition on the first, second and third day
Keywords: e-monitoring, vocational learning practice, process-based assessment
1. Introduction
In the broad scope, monitoring and evaluation is a package that
can not be separated from a program. Monitoring is a step for
collecting data for sustainable development indicated by
progress and achievement of goals, while evaluation tends to
provide credible and useful information as a material in decision
making [1]. In fact, the knowledge gained in monitoring can be
a stakeholder's information to check whether the program is
going according to its original purpose [2].
In smaller scopes, touching the realm of education, the
monitoring function is often associated with improved learning
achievement of learners. When described more simply,
monitoring in learning has a meaning of teacher control controls
to make instructional decisions that have an impact on
improving student learning and motivation [3], [4]. By knowing
the learning difficulties faced by students, it can be determined
the design of learning by the characteristics of the subjects and
the needs of learners [5]. When shown the difficulty and
compared the two figures of general and vocational school
teachers, professional teachers are more likely to monitor
learners' learning than the general teacher.
Like a bottleneck, many vocational teachers face the problems
of their students in the laboratory [6]. Both of the difficulties at
the time of preparation of learning materials [7], classroom
settings, supervision, and practical assessment are common to
them [8]. This poses challenges for vocational or instructor
teachers to intensify periodic monitoring for students' progress,
conducive learning environments, and workplace safety.
In vocational education known as three comprehensive
assessment, namely: work readiness assessment, process
assessment, and product assessment . Evaluation of work
readiness is essential before the students see the practice to
prepare the knowledge, skills, and work attitude required during
the lab [9], [10]. A second assessment is an assessment of the
process by which the estimate is a long section to be assessed
and impacts on the quality of the practice product. Process
assessment can provide principled process information on the
domain by providing strategic knowledge objectives and steps
used to select the steps in a procedure [11]. The next assessment
is a product assessment in which this assessment is a sequence
of procedures performed by students when practicable. In the
scope of vocational education, the evaluation of the most
complained process is challenging to implement
comprehensively according to scoring criteria.
It is a challenge for the instructor to observe every detail of the
learning process of the vocational practice of each student [12],
[13]. This will undoubtedly impact on teachers 'difficulties in
implementing observations of students' practical processes
comprehensively [14]. Also, the ability of an instructor to
observe and record information obtained by his students is
insufficient which results in a weakness in remembering the
results of his class observations [15]. In fact, assessment of
learning is important in improving their pedagogic quality [16]
and ranking students' learning achievements [17].
Because assessment is the driver of learning [18], then to
maintain the quality should pay attention to the quality of the
evaluation and knowledge to produce quality product work.
Quality assessment meets specific criteria that serve as a
fundamental principle of assessment development and
implementation. According to Arikunto, assessment aims to
stimulate the activities of learners, find the cause of progress or
failure of learners, teachers, as well as the learning process itself,
provide appropriate guidance to each learner, give reports about
students progress to parents and related educational institutions,
and as a feedback program or curriculum of education is in force
a [19].
The digital information era has been running since the early 21st
century, but until now there are still many instructors using
direct monitoring of learning. Complaints felt by the instructors
are how to conduct a process assessment which can be a
material for supervision and evaluate the learning process of
vocational practice. Various charges submitted learners because
the instructor's assessment is not objective because many
students are cheating, not appropriate procedures, and steal the
