Abstract
This study highlights the problem of determining students for Field Work Practice in Vocational High Schools which is still subjective and lacks objectivity. To overcome these obstacles, this study applies the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method as a decision-making algorithm in determining students for Field Work Practice. The purpose of this study is to improve objectivity and accuracy in determining students for Field Work Practice in Vocational High Schools by applying the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. In addition, this study aims to develop a prototype of an information system that provides recommendations for Field Work Practice students more effectively and can be implemented in an educational environment. The SAW method is used by determining the weight for each criterion, such as academic achievement, relevance of study programs, skills, and interview or test results. The main objective is to provide more accurate and effective student recommendations in Field Work Practice placement, replacing the subjective approach currently applied. The results of the study involve the development of a prototype of an information system that can provide student recommendations for Field Work Practice using the SAW method. The trial was conducted with a questionnaire, and the results showed that this system was considered very feasible, achieving a satisfaction level of 92%. The conclusion of this study shows that the application of SAW in determining Field Work Practice students in Vocational High Schools can improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the selection process, bringing a better solution to connect the world of education with the needs of the world of work.
