1 INTRODUCTION
The Covid-19 pandemic is one of the world events
crisis that has caused problems towards invarious
sectors,including the education sector.The learning
process must be limited by distance,this is because the
virus is so dangerous and extremely contagious. The
efforts were attempted by the government to prevent
the transmission of the Covid-19 virus and by made a
crowd-limit policies and activities.
The policy that were carried out by the
government also pose risks in the process of learning
activities. The impact of the policy for imposing
restrictions on community activities that were
recommended by the government is the occurrence of
restrictions in the process of teaching and learning
activities. The learning process that was previously

carried out face-to-face must be carried out using a
distance learning model. This led to changes in the
culture of teaching and learning. The teacher's
process of observing children's development both in
terms of attitudes, knowledge and skills becomes
completely limited. Students tend to be struggling in
their observation as this pandemic has led to learning
loss and lack of acknowledgment.
Vocational High School is an educational
institution to form students so they can have the
provision of knowledge to face the industrial era 4.0.
In this era, students are formed to have 4 skills, such
as collaboration, communication, critical thinking,
and creativity so that they are fully prepared to enter
the 4.0 generation, or to be known as the Cyber
Physical system. Vocational High Schools are also
affected by the presence of Covid-19. Learning in
Vocational High Schools consists of learning theory

and practice. With the imposition of restrictions on
community activities, learning activities, both theory
and practice, cannot be carried out face-to-face.
The occurrence of learning loss and lack of
acknowledgment in Vocational High School students
in particular raises concern for the Government.
Various attempts were made to overcome this
problem.Curriculum changes implemented are one
that can overcome the occurrence of learning loss
which is often known as the independent curriculum.
After the covid pandemic were decreased, learning
activities were finally allowed to hold limited face-
to-face learning and teaching process.
Based on the results of observations at State
Vocational High School 1 Seyegan, Sleman district,
Special Region of Yogyakarta on the “Teknik
Kendaraan Ringan dan Otomatif” competence, it is
currently permitted to hold 100% face-to-face
meetings in both theoretical and practical learning.
However, there is still a time limit, which to be on
term that each subject or classes has 35 minutes time
limit. Class X already begun the usage of “Kurikulum
Merdeka” whilst classes XI and XII still use
“Kurikulum 2013”.
The impact of learning “Teknik Kendaraan
Ringan dan Otomotif” for students is reduced interest
in learning. Interest in learning is the willingness to
participate in learning activities that originate from
conscience (Suprijanto, 2007: 25). According to
Muhibbin Syah (2012: 136) that, "interest in learning
is atendency and high enthusiasm or a great desire for
something." So, asking to learn can be concluded high
desire and curiosity to participate in learning
activities. The cause of the decreased interest in
learning is that students are accustomed to learning
using a distance learning model, this creates a feeling
of laziness and lack of enthusiasm in participating in
learning at school. Therefore, teachers are required to
innovate in order to overcome these problems. One of
the innovations that can be done is with simulator
learning media.
Digital simulator learning media in the
application forms can be used to flexible study both
in terms of location and time. Changes in the
atmosphere of the process to teaching and learning
activities such as adding simulators in interesting
media and leading to basic competencies and
computers can be used as an alternative to make
students more motivated to concentrate on learning.
One usage for the learning medium is the
development of computer-based learning media
simulator models. The simulator model is a model for
delivering information or messages in the form of a
concept presented on a computer screen with text,
images, or graphics (Reza Mega Mawarni,Rina
Harimurti, 2016).
In “dasar-dasar otomotif” subject, there is
especially basic electricity material. With this
simulator media, it is hoped that students will be more
interested and increasing their curiosity in the basic
material of electricity. This material itself has the
competence to carry out simple electrical circuits.
Which is the initial foundation of light vehicle
electrical material. So,with this media it is very
suitable when using this media simulator.
There are many simulators application models
that can be used as learning media, one of which is
the proteus software. This software is one of the
electronic software used to design and simulate
electronic circuits so that the software is chosen as a
suitable learning medium to support learning of
simple electrical systems. By using the proteus
application, digital system learning activities are
easier to understand (Syahminan,2020).
Based on the description above,it is very
important to develop simulation-based learning
media to support practical learning of lighting
systems that can improve student competence.
Simulator learning media is expected to be able to
help students for simulating an assemble of a series to
simple electrical systems so that when carrying out
practices it can reduce trial and error as the learning
can run effectively and efficiently.

Validation of interest in learning is carried out using
construct validation, namely aform of compatibility testing
which is carried out by comparing the theories contained in
the questionnaire with the theoretical basis used to define a
concept, Zainal Mustafa EQ (2009: 166). Based on testing
the construct validity of the interest in learning
questionnaire,it was found that there were 8 questionnaire
numbers that failed because its less than 0,244.
As for data analysis using descriptive analysis.The data
obtained from the descriptive analysis include
Mean(M),Median(Me),Mode(Mo),
Standard Deviation (SD), maximum values, minimum
values, frequency distribution tables, histograms, and
variable trend tables.

Small group trials were carried out by distributing
questionnaires with 11 respondents and large-scale
trials with 23 respondents.
Based on the media expert's assessment, it was
explained that learning design has a value of 43 in a
percentage of 76.78%, while the material aspect has a
value of 26 in a percentage of 90% and media
utilization has a maximum value of 100%. The three
categories of media are included in the very feasible
category.
In the other hand formed in an expert the aspects
assessed include media quality, word usage and
media layout which are explained in the following
table.

92.50% 100% 93.75%
In the table above it is explained that the quality
of the media has a percentage of 92.50%, the use of
words is 100% and the layout of the media is 93.75%.
It can be concluded that the Proteus software media is
classified as very feasible based on media experts.
The results of the next data are assessments
according to material experts. Material expert
validation is selected based on the level of education
and length of teaching on the material. Based on the
assessment of material experts, the following results
were obtained.
Table 6: Material Expert Assessment Results.
Learning Design. Material Aspect. Utilization.
76.78% 90% 100%
Based on the table above it is explained that the
learning design according to material experts is
76.78%, for material aspects is 90% and for
utilization is 100%. Cumulatively, it can be
concluded that according to material experts, the
learning media for Proteus software is very feasible.
Table 7: Large scale media trials.
Material. Learning Design. Appearance. Utilization.
87.39% 79.34% 84.37% 88.58%
In the table, it is explained that the material aspect
has a percentage of 87.39%, learning design has a
percentage of 79.34%, for display is 84.37% and in
terms of usefulness it has a percentage of 88.58%. So
it can be concluded that large-scale trials get very
decent categories.
To measure student interest in learning, the
implementation of the Proteus software simulator
media was carried out on the basic material of
automotive electricity on learning interest. The results
of the study show that interest in learning has an
increase of 74.6% which is included in the moderate
