Abstract

Curriculum upgrade gave a new hope during education process improvement. The implementation of the MBKM curriculum encourages universities to design educational processes that ensure a link and match of the learning process with the needs of employment. For this reason, the integration of the learning process with the recognition of expertise competence in the profession is feasible so that students get recognition by the profession. The purpose of this study was to investigate the need for additional training and the level of self-development of students in strengthening their competence for professional recognition. This research is included in the type of cross-sectional study. The research subjects were 134 students (m= 100, f= 34, first year= 49, second year= 51, third year= 34). The student is studying at the sports science faculty. The instrument used was a closed questionnaire which was circulated using a google form. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANOVA. The level of additional student training is in the very high category. The level of student self-development is in the fair category. There is an effect of certificate status owned by students on self-development (t = 2.821, p = 0.007), students who have certificates in the field of sports have a higher level of additional training than students who do not have certificates. There was an effect of student athlete status on self-development with a value of F= 12.6, p= 0.000, post hoc test showed that the level of self-development of non-athlete students was lower than that of student-athletes (p= 0.000). Faculties need to provide training outside of the regular learning process so that the desire of students to develop themselves to gain additional competencies could be fulfilled.
