The development of soft skills-based study material of chemistry in the topic of termochemistry for vocational high school student

Business and industrial field need workers who have not only good academic achievement but also the ability of hard skills and soft skills. in order to prepare students who have a good academic skills,hard skills,and soft skills,it has to be done in all subjects including chemistry integrated to the expertise competencies of motorcycle engineering.the research design used one group pretest posttest design imposed on students in class tsm xi smk 1 kedung. validator assessment results indicated that teaching materials developed very feasible to be applied in chemistry learning. the result show that the learning device by using the integrated chemistry materials can increase students understanding of the thermo chemistry material with the acquisition of n-gain was at 0.63 or in the modest category. group of high-achieving students had the score of n-gain 0.65,while the medium-achieving students obtained 0.63 and low-achieving students obtained 0.61,all had medium category. percentage of students who passes the mastery learning reached87 % (if mastery learning (kkm>75). the percentage of students’ soft skills in at least good criteria was at 87.10 %. 90.71 % students gave positive responses towards the learning material. © 2015 science education study program fmipa unnes semarang.
