In Sauptika Kancana (2016: 444-458) stated that business productivity owned by women in the informal sector is amajor problem that is often faced. Lack of skills and knowledge in the business fieldwhich resulted in this happening. As stated by Chen (2012) that entrepreneurs in theinformal sector need productive assets, technical and business skills, and infrastructureservices to be more able to compete in the market. With the existing problems, thisresearch seeks to find supportive solutions. So the research aims to improve skills in thefield of sewing, which is usually followed by women.Research chooses demonstration methods that are considered appropriate in thelearning process at the course institutions that relate to sewing dress training. This isdone because in the learning there are more practices to achieve skills. Therefore,research wants to prove whether using the demonstration method will get betterlearning results in the sewing dress.The demonstration method was chosen because it was said by Butler. 1972. (inSuwandi.2010: 15-28) that Demonstration means the presentation of somethingconcrete and factual. Demonstrations with a brief explanation can be presentedmaterial that is realistic and practical. The realistic and practicality of the material canprovide motivation for learning motivationThus, through this study will also be known how much the achievement of learningoutcomes from the use of the Demontration Method is quickly absorbed and understoodby students in the Elka Grandiart Institute of Training and Course. Therefore theformulation of the problem is how to use demonstration methods in achieving learningoutcomes in sewing dress training (case studies at the Elka Grandiart Institute ofTraining and Course in Cianjur Regency).To answer the problem formulated above, several questions were asked as referencesin the study were 1). How is the initial condition of knowledge, understanding, skills ofstudents towards the Sewing Dress training in 2) Course. sewing dress training in ElkaGrandiart's course and training institute? 3). What is the learning process by usingdemonstration methods on sewing dress training in Elka Grandiart Institute of Trainingand Course? and 4). How the results achieved after using the demonstration method? Jurnal Empowerment Volume 7 Nomor 2, September 2018 e-ISSN : 2580-7692 p-ISSN : 2252-4738 134 B. THEORY FOUNDATIONOne of the main factors in order to improve the quality of education is to improve thequality of teaching and learning activities in which there are teachers and students whohave different abilities, skills, life philosophy, characteristics and so on. The existence ofthese differences makes learning as an educational process requires a variety of models,methods, strategies and teaching aids so that students can master the material well anddeeply. (Arifuddin, A. 2017: 165-178)Training is a process that creates conditions and stimuli to generate responses toothers, develop knowledge and skills and attitudes and to achieve specific goals (Fosterin Sutarto's book (2012). This understanding can be concluded that training focuses ondeveloping knowledge and the skills of students who have skills about skills will be ableto be independent in their lives (Septiyana Dwi Hastuti. 2017: 72-79).Vocational Training Centers or Training Institutions and Courses are one form of Non-Formal Education unit organized for the community that requires provision ofknowledge, skills, life skills, and attitudes to develop themselves, develop a profession,work, independent business, and / or continue education to a higher level. Law number20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System mandates that the Non-FormalEducation (PNF) function is as a substitute, supplement, and / or complementary toFormal education, in order to support lifelong education to develop the potential ofstudents with an emphasis on mastering knowledge and skills functional andprofessional attitude and personality development. (Ida, N. 2017: 11-19)The demonstration method is a method that presents a lesson by demonstrating ordemonstrating to students a specific process, situation or object being studied either inimitation form shown by the teacher or other learning resources that are experts in thetopic. Another opinion states that the demonstration method is a method used to showa process or workings of an object related to learning. (Nurhayati. 2014: 1-7). C. METHODOLOGYThe research method used is a qualitative method by means of participant observationwhich is observing all the related devices in the study, field observation is anobservation made on the object to be studied, Observation is done to understand thesubject's real behavior, so that it can provide an objective picture . Direct observation isalso used to collect data about facilities and infrastructure, environmental conditionsthat support or inhibit research.All data is collected in the form of drawings, the writing is done as a complement toobservation, interview and questionnaire techniques. The point is the documentationstudy to give an overview of all the activities carried out in the study.Population is an area of generalization which consists of objects or subjects that havecertain characteristics and qualities applied by researchers to be studied and thendrawn conclusions, in this case it can be said that the population name does not onlyinvolve people but concerns the character and nature of the subject or object to be Jurnal Empowerment Volume 7 Nomor 2, September 2018 e-ISSN : 2580-7692 p-ISSN : 2252-4738 135 studied. In this case the researcher takes the population that will be taken from the ElkaGrandiart Institute of Training and Course are 4 people from female students and 4male students and 2 instructors who will be interviewed as well as the source to bestudied. D. RESEARCH RESULT 1. Initial conditions of knowledge, understanding, skills of students towards the Sewing Dress training in Elka Grandiart Institute of Course and Training.The objective conditions in the subjects to be studied more or less have the ability,knowledge, understanding and skills of sewing dress that are still low. Also generally donot know and understand about learning material or the ability to follow the practice.From the observations made, 20 participants who took part in the training did not havesewing skills at first. So that it can be described that the twenty training participants, inthe initial conditions still have low ability in terms of knowledge, understanding andskills in sewing dress. 2. The Condition of Learning Planning Objectives by using the Demonstration Method on Sewing Dress Learning in Elka Grandiart's Course and Training Institution?The objective conditions of the instructor when planning the learning of fashion can beseen when observing and interviewing that there are several things that must be doneby the instructor before learning. That is, the researcher made an interview guideinstrument including planning as a guide to do activities.The instructor then prepares the tools and materials that will be used in practice andapplied in accordance with the theory to be studied. Other preparations are to conditionthe classroom so that the demonstration method that will be used in the classroomworks optimally and can be understood by students. This is done requires a comfortableatmosphere and the tools and materials used can be comparable to a number ofstudents who will follow the learning process. The instructor also prepares evaluationmaterials.The second observation result, the instructor prepares RPP as preparation beforelearning and prepares and provides tools and materials to be explained beforeconducting the demonstration method that will be explained, as well as preparing thegrid or preparing material for test questions and compiling questions and makingscores on learning outcomes which will be applied in the assessment of the finalevaluation of learning. 3. Conditions regarding how the learning process uses demonstration methods on the learning of sewing clothes at the Elka Grandiart Institute of Training and Course.From the observations obtained results about the ability of the instructor in the learningprocess turned out to have the ability to be asked on the results of observations as wellas some of the questions submitted by the researcher as attached in the interview guide, Jurnal Empowerment Volume 7 Nomor 2, September 2018 e-ISSN : 2580-7692 p-ISSN : 2252-4738 136 among the results obtained, the overall instructor was able to answer several questionswell and clearly.In the presentation, the instructor's material mastered the theory of Dressmaking byexplaining using the demonstration method, because students were perceived to bemore successful in achieving learning outcomes by being demonstrated compared tooral delivery. And it turns out that it is practiced more quickly understood.The findings that in the demonstration step are the opening of learning, preparing thetools and materials to be demonstrated properly prepared, the second delivering whatmaterial will be explained in, then conditioning the learning atmosphere, remindingstudents to listen carefully to the material to be delivered, explaining one by one of thetools to be explained in accordance with the material contained in the RPP. 4. Results achieved after using the demonstration method.After taking part in the fashion learning during the training, the learning method thatuses more demontration methods is that students master the material faster. Thishappens because level II material should be delivered in six months but can be passedwith approximately two months and two weeks. This is proven by using thedemonstration method, the results achieved in learning can be passed easily, quicklyand effectively.At the answer at the end of the learning students answer correctly and lead according tothe material that is obtained from the instructor during the learning process. Nearly theseven answers were answered correctly and from the evaluation results all of the thingstested in the performance were done well.After participating in this learning, students get a lot of changes besides being diligentand diligent and thorough in working on their work practices. Subjects are verymastering the theory and practice as well as the previous knowledge such as mastery ofbrooch accessories and making flowers from the rest of the fabric combined with thedesign of the clothes he made. This is able to produce a different design from otherstudents.Based on the results of interviews in determining the results achieved in learning, oneof the students said that the theories and ways of learning delivered usingdemonstration methods were easier to understand and understand because studentswere directly involved in watching and practicing even though they had not masteredtheoretically. But by practicing participants more quickly understand. This is evident bythe short learning time that is able to control learning in Level II, namely knowing howto measure, knowing the theory of patterns, making basic patterns, attaching patterns tomaterials and cutting patterns, and connecting and tapping and finishing qualitycontrol.The results based on interviews with students basically all the students studied gave thesame answer, namely explaining the function of tools and materials that can be used inlearning dress and can use it and can run the machine both sewing machines and obras. Jurnal Empowerment Volume 7 Nomor 2, September 2018 e-ISSN : 2580-7692 p-ISSN : 2252-4738 137 All master well, practice how to make patterns and be able to cut material and finish itaccording to the instructor's directio D. DISCUSSION 1. Initial conditions of knowledge, understanding, skills of students towards the Sewing Dress training in Elka Grandiart Institute of Course and Training.From the data collected, it was found that the subjects of the study were observed withlow knowledge. sewing knowledge and skills. Therefore to improve quality, they needan education. As according to Arifuddin, A. (2017: 165-178) states that that one of themain factors in order to improve the quality of education is to improve the quality ofteaching and learning activities in which there are teachers and students who havedifferent abilities, skills, philosophy of life, characteristics and so on. The existence ofthese differences makes learning as an educational process requires a variety of models,methods, strategies and teaching aids so that students can master the material well anddeeply.From the above research what is meant as a teacher is a trainer or instructor. Sewinglessons require processes that require models, methods, strategies and teaching aids. Soall that was done in this study. The method used focuses on demonstration methods inthe hope of achieving maximum and effective learning outcomes.Furthermore, it is said that education is a conscious effort carried out by families,communities and the government through teaching and training guidance activities thattake place in school and out of school and lifelong education to prepare students to playroles in various environments appropriately in the future. who will comeMudyahardjo.2012 (in Nurhayati. 2014: 1-7). In this study, sewing learning is carriedout for people outside of school, which is carried out through training and training thatis useful for a broader life because it is lifelong education as a provision for their futurelives. 2. Objectives of Learning Planning Objectives by using the Demonstration Method on Sewing Dress Learning in the Elka Grandiart Institute of Training and Course.From the data obtained that the planning carried out in demonstration activities ispreparing tools and materials, teaching programs (RPP), the presence of students,evaluation materials and preparing research instruments. All of these steps are carriedout so that demonstration activities carried out in the learning of sewing dress can beachieved according to the expected goals.So that all learning planning in this study is directed to increase the ability of students interms of knowledge, skills and attitudes through learning of sewing dress. All of this isdone so that students as part of the community will have an independent soul that canultimately go through a better life.Plans set as above according to those stated in Law No. 20 of 2003 Article 26 paragraph3 (Munib, 2012: 147). Training held at non-formal schools aims to increase the ability ofstudents in practice. Training is a process that creates conditions and stimuli to Jurnal Empowerment Volume 7 Nomor 2, September 2018 e-ISSN : 2580-7692 p-ISSN : 2252-4738 138 generate responses to others, develop knowledge and skills (skills) and attitudes and toachieve specific goals (Foster in the book Sutarto, 2012: 02). This understanding can beconcluded that training focuses on developing the knowledge and skills of students.Students who have the skills about skills will be able to be independent in their lives.(Septiyana Dwi Hastuti. 2017: 72-79).Thus, it is very clear that planning activities are directed towards achievingindependence because according to According to Parket.2006 (in Septiyana Dwi Hastuti.2017: 72-79).Independence is the ability to manage all our possessions. Independence relates to thetask and skills of how to do something, how to achieve something or how to managesomething. Independence also includes the ability to think and do things with your ownmind. 3. The condition of how the learning process uses demonstration methods in Elka Grandiart's Fashion and Technology Learning.The demonstration method chosen in this study is so that learning can run according tothe objectives during the demonstration. These activities demonstrate or demonstrateto students the process carried out by means of making assignments that can meltprocesses that are in accordance with what has been improved.So demontration is a method used to see or be chosen by students. This is in accordancewith Sumantri. 2001 (Nurhayati. 2014: 1-7) that the institutionalization method is amethod that presents the lesson by demonstrating or demonstrating to students theprocess, process or object being studied either in imitation form shown by the teacheror learning other experts in the topic Another opinion states that the method issued isthe method used for the process or method of work relating to learning.The demonstration method is carried out so that students in this training can do thesewing process which will produce products that can equip themselves to liveindependently. The demontration method is one method chosen because it is one of theeffective methods in learning sewing skills. So that students will be able to learn tomaster learning skills. Although sewing is sometimes found, it also shows that educationis needed more effectively and efficiently. Because in Triave Nuzila Zahri1. 2017: 18-23)that "Net learning skills are a single unit, some are a series of various groups of activitiesthat are interconnected and supportive". The result of Sedanayasa's research (2003)which shows that learning is not solely due to low learning abilities, but because it doesnot have lessons about effective learning. 4. The results achieved after using the Demontration Method.From the data obtained and the results of observation, students can achieve goodresults in accordance with the procedures set out in participating in sewing learningwith the demonstration method. Jurnal Empowerment Volume 7 Nomor 2, September 2018 e-ISSN : 2580-7692 p-ISSN : 2252-4738 139 In answering all questions relating to the cognitive abilities of students generally havegood results. This knowledge ability will strengthen understanding and stronglysupport the skills in the sewing process. Because in Miswandi Tendrita (2017: 763-767)it explains that cognitive learning outcomes are a description of what students havelearned during the learning process. Cognitive learning outcomes relate to the valueobtained during the student's learning process (Majid, 2010). Learning outcomes arevery important for a student to describe knowledge and skills and see changes instudent behavior acquired after learning (Adams, 2004). While Watson (2002) statesthat learning outcomes are very important to describe individual changes and as aresult of their learning experience. Furthermore it is said that the acquisition of learningoutcomes is intended to find out the students' understanding of the material that hasbeen studied. (Triave Nuzila Zahril, 2017: 18-23)The results that have been achieved by students in achieving the goals of sewinglearning with demonstration methods will lead the public to become productive humanbeings who have matching skills with the aim of sewing skills as contained in (IhwanRidwan, 2015: 145-155) that the purpose of sewing training is training participants areable to be productive at a young, innovative, competent age in order to be able toincrease family income in the sense that there is material or nonmaterial investment inhim. Nicky and David (2008: 15) assert that the level of human productivity can be seenfrom the work output of the company and the skills possessed.The success of this research program will have an impact on the independence ofstudents who will eventually be implemented in the world of work that can meet theliving needs of society in general. This is confirmed in (Ihwan Ridwan, 2015: 145-155)that the success of the training program can be seen from the participants' learningmotivation. This was confirmed by Tristanti and Suryono, (2014: 1) that the success ofthe skill program was shown by changes in citizen behavior. The level of programimplementation is a series of participants' understanding during the training, provisionof knowledge, attitude formation, and upgrading skills can be obtained from thelearning process if the learning that is followed goes well then the implementation tothe workplace will run well too. 5. Sewing dress training is a form of community empowermentSewing dress training in this study is able to build the character of the community. Thiscan be seen from the low initial conditions and after the study experienced an increasein the ability of knowledge, understanding and skills of the community in the field ofsewing clothing. Because the skills they have will benefit real life. People have theopportunity to develop their capabilities in innovative business. This will certainlyincrease the quality of life that is independent. This is in accordance with Freire'sopinion. 1974 (in Kartika, P.2015: 50-57) states that awareness is the main fundamentalin building the true character of society. Where they can access and utilize variouslearning opportunities that exist, so that they can improve their quality of life in real life.Not just accepting what is and closing yourself to various facts that they should criticizeor what they should correct. Improving the quality of life rests on the ability of thecommunity itself to improve and develop its various potentials, so that they can build astructured system in order to improve the quality of life. Jurnal Empowerment Volume 7 Nomor 2, September 2018 e-ISSN : 2580-7692 p-ISSN : 2252-4738 140 E. CONCLUSIONThe conclusion of this study is the initial conditions of students before conductingresearch having knowledge, understanding and low sewing skills. With a variety ofpreparations made and after students take part in sewing sewing learning withdemonstration methods, they progress in learning. Thus this study resulted in studentsexperiencing an increase in knowledge, understanding, and skills in sewing dress usingthe demonstration method conducted at the Elka Grandiart Institute of Training andCourse.
