Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyse the career planning of students who have been taught using three different learning methods, in order to ascertain the impact of the learning process caused by the pandemic and the post-pandemic period. The three learning processes are as follows: the pandemic is conducted entirely online, the new normal is carried out online and offline, and the endemic is conducted fully offline. This study employs a comparative quantitative research method, comprising 315 respondents from Vocational students in Aceh. The respondents are grouped according to their participation in learning during the pandemic (full online), the new normal period (hybrid) and the endemic period (full offline). The Kruskal-Wallis test was employed to analyse the data, which revealed a statistically significant result (Asymp. The p-value is 0.000, which is less than 0.005). The findings indicate that there are notable differences between the three groups. The mean value of each group demonstrates that, in the context of the pandemic process, students are evidenced to exhibit the lowest average level of career planning. Additionaly, followed by the learning process during the new normal (hybrid). On top of that the endemic group (offline) exhibited the highest mean value, indicating that the learning process during the endemic period with a full offline learning system had a positive impact on the career planning of vocational students, in comparison to the two other groups with learning experiences during the pandemic with online learning and the new normal period with online offline learning.
