Abstract


Penguasaan teori dan amali adalah penting dalam bidang pendidikan teknikal dan vokasional untuk melahirkan
modal insan yang berkemahiran dan berketerampilan. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji persepsi tahap
penguasaan teori dan amali pelajar-pelajar Ekonomi Rumah Tangga (ERT) di sebuah universiti awam bagi kursus
jahitan. Seramai 100 orang pelajar program Sarjana Muda ERT terlibat sebagai sampel kajian. Kajian ini berbentuk
tinjauan dan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif. Data daripada responden kemudiannya dianalisis menggunakan
perisian SPSS versi 18.0. Nilai kebolehpercayaan soal selidik adalah α = .771. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan persepsi
tahap penguasaan teori pelajar adalah pada tahap sederhana (min = 0.65) dan amali juga adalah sederhana (min =
3.50). Keputusan analisis ujian ANOVA mendapati bahawa tidak terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan bagi tahap
penguasaan teori dan amali pelajar ERT dalam kursus jahitan bagi semester pengajian. Walau bagaimanapun,
analisis ujian Eta pula menunjukkan bahawa terdapat tiga item teori dan empat item amali yang mempunyai
hubungan signifikan rendah dengan semester pengajian. Analisis Pearson r pula menunjukkan tiada hubungan yang
signifikan antara penguasaan teori dengan penguasaan amali dalam kalangan pelajar ERT.

Mastering both the theoretical and practical aspects in technical and vocational education is important to produce
skilled and competent human resource. This study examined the perceptions of Home Economics (HE) students at a
Malaysian public university regarding their level of theoretical and practical mastery of a tailoring course. A total
of 100 students from the Bachelor Degree of HE program participated in this study. The study was conducted
through a survey using quantitative approach. Data from respondents were analyzed using SPSS version 18.0. The
reliability of the questionnaire is α = .771. The findings showed that the perceptions on the level of mastery in theory
was at moderate level (mean = 0.65) as also that in the practical (mean = 3.50). The ANOVA test indicated that
there were no significant differences in the level of theory and practical training in tailoring course of HE students
based on semesters. However, the Eta analysis found that there were three theoretical items and four practical items
that had low correlations with the semesters. The Pearson r correlation analysis showed no significant correlations
between the mastery of theory and practical among the HE students.
