Meningkatkan Kesiapan Siswa Kelas 12 SMA dalam Menghadapi UTBK Tahun 2025 melalui Program Pendampingan

Abstract

ABSTRAK

Peningkatan kesiapan siswa kelas 12 SMA dalam menghadapi UTBK (Ujian Tulis Berbasis Komputer) menjadi perhatian penting, mengingat UTBK adalah gerbang utama menuju perguruan tinggi negeri. Penelitian ini berlatar belakang tantangan yang dihadapi siswa, diperparah oleh pandemi dan perubahan format ujian. Tujuan penelitian adalah merancang program pendampingan komprehensif. Metode kegiatan melibatkan 23 siswa kelas IPA di SMA Kanzul Mubarok Bekasi. Program dilaksanakan dalam tiga sesi, meliputi pengenalan materi UTBK (Matematika, Fisika, Biologi, Bahasa Inggris, Bahasa Indonesia), trik menjawab soal, dan simulasi ujian. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui pre-test dan post-test untuk mengukur peningkatan pemahaman dan kesiapan siswa. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan rata-rata nilai siswa sebesar 78 setelah mengikuti program, menandakan efektivitas pendampingan dalam meningkatkan pemahaman materi dan kemampuan mengerjakan soal. Partisipasi aktif siswa dan suasana kondusif juga berkontribusi pada keberhasilan program.

Saran yang diajukan adalah perlunya tindak lanjut pada topik-topik yang masih menjadi hambatan siswa, berdasarkan analisis hasil evaluasi. Program pendampingan selanjutnya dapat lebih difokuskan pada kebutuhan spesifik siswa. Diharapkan program serupa dapat dilaksanakan lebih luas dan ditingkatkan untuk mencapai hasil yang lebih optimal, serta membangun karakter dan kesiapan mental siswa dalam menghadapi tantangan pendidikan.

ABSTRACT

Enhancing the readiness of 12th-grade high school students for the UTBK (Computer-Based Written Examination) is a crucial concern, given that the UTBK is the main gateway to state universities. This research is motivated by the challenges students face, exacerbated by the pandemic and changes in the exam format. The research aims to design a comprehensive mentoring program. The activity method involved 23 science students at SMA Kanzul Mubarok Bekasi. The program was conducted in three sessions, including an introduction to UTBK material (Mathematics, Physics, Biology, English, Indonesian), test-taking strategies, and exam simulations. Evaluations were carried out through pre-tests and post-tests to measure the increase in students' understanding and readiness. The results showed an average increase in student scores of 78 after participating in the program, indicating the effectiveness of mentoring in improving understanding of the material and the ability to work on questions. Active student participation and a conducive atmosphere also contributed to the success of the program. The suggestion put forward is the need for follow-up on topics that are still obstacles for students, based on the analysis of evaluation results. The next mentoring program can be more focused on the specific needs of students. It is hoped that similar programs can be implemented more widely and improved to achieve more optimal results, as well as build the character and mental readiness of students in facing educational challenges.
