Abstract

The Industrial Revolution 4.0 raises many challenges to face, including the shift in the fields of applied economics such as Accounting and Office Administration. Nowadays, various applications have emerged that can replace employee performance in these fields. To facing this, the Indonesian Government responded by starting to reduce students in the fields of accounting, commerce and office administration. Furthermore, the Government began to encourage additional human resources working in the technical (mechatronics, electronics and robotics) and non-technical (arts, culinary and hospitality) fields. Apart from that, the Government also supports the emergence of skills that focus on the uniqueness of a region, for example the establishment of a coffee vocational school in Mandailing Natal Regency.
The professionalism of teaching staff has a direct influence on student learning outcomes, especially in the 21st century, where developments in technology, information and communication are growing rapidly. The challenge of 21st century learning is a problem found in the Office Administration Education Study Program, namely the lack of digital-based teaching materials owned by lecturers to teach these courses. The current learning material still has a manual office administration concept, whereas in the industrial revolution 4.0 era it has now been eroded by the concept of office digitalization. It is feared that this could be one of the impacts of a less up-to-date learning process. In view of this, improvements to teaching materials are necessary and very crucial to do. Teaching materials are a guide for facilitators/lecturers in carrying out learning in class. This research aims to prepare teaching materials for the Theory and Practice based Office Simulation course and is also accompanied by a Project Based Learning learning model. The reason for choosing the Office Simulation course is because this course is the basis for students to become familiar with administrative and administrative practices in administrative concepts.
This is a Research and Development (RnD) research using the ADDIE development model which consists of 5 (five) implementation stages, namely: (1) Analysis, (2) Design, (3) Development (4) Implementation, and (5) Evaluation. Technique Data analysis used in research includes 3 (three) types, namely Validity, Effectiveness and Practicality.
The outputs targeted in this research are Publications in International Proceedings indexed by Web of Science, Research^s Final Reports registered with Copyright, Office Simulation course teaching materials that can be used for students, KI (Copyright or Simple Patent) Office Simulation Books, Indexed International Journals.
