INTRODUCTION 1.1 Research Background College students as generation of the nation's and as supporter of a dignified nation’s progress in the world’s development arena and as quality measure of human resources by the time they finish their education to become a scholar, they are expected to compete in the work field with creative innovation. This is closely related to the thing where the students get the final score or good learning outcomes. The fast growing of science brings great impact in all fields especially in modern companies. This progress is the main factor that make company’s owner increasing their employee skills so that companies can grow better. Learning can be performed by students by attending lectures, group discussions, doing research, and reading books. All these things become the main activity of the academic community namely College Students. College students are one component of the academic community who is seeking for knowledge; therefore reading should be their main agenda. All of student's main activities will become source of inspiration, source of knowledge and hone of student’s criticality, but not only in terms of teaching and learning activities, but can also shape the individual's personality with abilities in practice such as skill, accuracy, speed and honesty at work, among other is by doing internship or filed practice. Internship is a form of application of materials - materials that already obtained by each individual student in teaching and learning activities in work environment, in this case is done in University environment which took place in Iqtishod Syariah Cooperative –Faculty of Economics, Islamic University of Malang. This internship activity represents the implementation result of Courses that have been taken by them such as Cooperative Accounting, Cooperative Management, and Courses that will be taken during Syariah Financial Operational Courses internship. Internship is required for students during the education process for the Syariah Operational Finance Course. It is hope that the internship students can have a high responsibility towards themselves and others, able to master the emotions in living with the general environment and can Jurnal Ilmiah Bidang Akuntansi dan Manajemen (JEMA) Vol. 14 No. 2 (2017) http://riset.unisma.ac.id/index.php/jema 145 serve as a benchmark whether after they graduate, they will be able to go directly in the real world of work or not.This experience then became provision in performing a real career path, so later, in the completion of their studies students can become a professional workforce and ready to use and able to compete. This research is conducted considering there are still a lot of students who are afraid to make mistakes in making the Financial Statement either based on SAK-ETAP or SAK-IFRS. It is expected that by the existing of theory and practice in this course, Students have the ability to add skill and become more good in being a Teller, making Financial Statements that start from the activity of collecting Transaction Evidence - Journal – Posting the Ledger and Auxiliary Book - Financial Report. Whether by adding internship in the Syariah Operational Finance Course can gives better result on the student’s final score. Is there any difference between theory and learning outcomes where in fact students still need the habit and work harder to get a good learning outcomes compared to other subjects whose judgment is based only on the Middle Semester Examination and Final Semester Examination. Elements of Learning which consists of Internships, Practicum Books, Students Activeness, and Examination (Middle and Final Test) can encourage the student fruitfulness in this course. The fact that there is 70% of students who take Syariah Operational Finance Course still shows less satisfactory results make this research is so important. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate and analyze in depth the component elements which can encourage the success of students. 1.2 Research Problem 1. How is the implementation of learning model on Syariah Operational Finance Course with elements of Internships, Practicum Book, Students Activeness (Presences and Participation), and Examination (Middle and Final Test)? 2. How big is the influence of Internships, Practicum Books, Students Activeness (Presences and Participation), Examination (Middle and Final Test) on the student fruitfulness? 3. What is the problems that arises when the implementation of learning process and innovation? How to minimize those problems?. 1.3 Research Purpose 1. To justify learning model of Syariah Operational Finance Course. 2. To analyze factors that affecting the student fruitfulness. 3. Detecting obstacles that faced by the model element of learning of Syariah Finance Operational and also offering the best solution in minimizing those problems. 1.4 Research Contribution This research can be categorized as "semi" applied research so that it can contribute on several levels as follows. From the aspect of institution, this research is expected to produce the form of information about the model and learning on the economic aspects. While in the aspect of student, this research is expected to give information and help student in order to change mindset which is to gain good learning result in knowledge not only based on theory and lecture, but also based on significant work experience. Besides, after they graduate, they can compete in the work field and no longer awkward in technical training. 2. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK AND HYPHOTESIS DEVELOPMENT 2.1 Theoretical Framework 2.1.1 Internships Internships can be defined as students activities to add science and apply theoretical knowledge that has been obtained by applying it directly to the work world using computer technology. Internships students must perform it, so that they will have high quality after graduated from college, so they can apply knowledge into the world of work. Internships is defined as part of an integrated job training system under the guidance and supervision of Lecturers and employees of Jurnal Ilmiah Bidang Akuntansi dan Manajemen (JEMA) Vol. 14 No. 2 (2017) http://riset.unisma.ac.id/index.php/jema 146 Faculty of Economics Iqtishod Cooperative of Islamic University of Malang, in order to master certain skills. In internship, we have the opportunity to apply all knowledge learned in college and learn the details of professional work standards. Students can also gain insight into the industrial world and improve their skills and technical internships. Internship is one of the courses that must be completed by every student as a way of preparing to become a ready to work proportional Human Resources. During the internship, students work as a workforce in the agency/company so that they will be able to absorb variety of real work experiences. The purpose of an internship in the Syariah Operational Finance Course are : 1. Increasing ability to apply knowledge and skills owned. 2. Increasing knowledge in work both in terms of scholarship and work experience. 3. Increasing ability to communicate and socialize.Encourage motivation of students who are interested in becoming a candidate for manpower and ready to work. Internship implementation process in this research is performed at Iqtishod Cooperative - Economic Faculty of Islamic University of Malang in accordance with the schedule that has been determined during the lecture period of Syariah Operational Finance Course. Students are required to make a grouped internship report after they complete the internship. During the internship season, students can learn to become a Teller, a Customer Service, Financing Section, Accounting Section by serving 1,525 saving customers and 900 financing customers and for Students who pass this Course will get a certificate from Iqtishod Cooperative - Economic Faculty of Islamic University of Malang. Picture 1 Internships Activities 2.1.2 Practicum Book Practicum is a face-to-face teaching and learning activities between Lecturers and Students, emphasizing psychomotor, cognitive and affective aspects by using the equipment in the scheduled laboratory (UPI Quality Assurance Guide, 2006: 152). In the making of practical work, a cognitive aspect is emphasized so that the theory can be applied to concrete conditions or problems, and activities undertaken are emphasized on aspects of the practice. This aspect is widely applied in the learning process in college through Applied Approach which recommends that after students are given orientation (content of knowledge and method) it should be followed by practice, and feedback. Jurnal Ilmiah Bidang Akuntansi dan Manajemen (JEMA) Vol. 14 No. 2 (2017) http://riset.unisma.ac.id/index.php/jema 147 Picture 2 Practicum Activities 2.1.3 Student Activeness The meaning of active students is student who are involved continuously both physically and mentally in learning (Hollingsworth & Lewis, 2008: viii). Active students are students who are physically, psychologically, intellectually and emotionally involved continuously in the learning process (Yusmiati, 2010: 10). From this understanding it can be concluded that Active Student is students who is involved continuously both physically, mentally, intellectually and emotionally which formed the process of achieving the output/results of subject materials received. The activity of students in the learning process is not only the involvement in physical form such as sitting around, doing something, but also in the form of process of analysis, analogy, comparing, appreciation, all of which are students' involvement in psychic and emotion (Sugandi, 2007: 75). Picture 3 Learning Process 2.1.4 Student Activeness Principles Students activiveness in the learning process can be seen directly during learning time in which they will have courage to express their thoughts, feelings, desires, and willingness. In this kind of student dimension, students' creativity skills will eventually grow and develop (Sugandi, 2007: 75-76). 2.1.5 Student Activeness Dimension Student’s activeness dimension in the learning process can be described as belows: 1. Courage 2. Participation 3. Learning creativity 4. Courtesy and 5. Learning independence/learning materials. 2.1.6 Examination (Middle and Final Test) Researches defined examination in this study as Middle Semester Test and Final Semester Test, which can implicated on the student result and the assessment of student learning outcomes. Jurnal Ilmiah Bidang Akuntansi dan Manajemen (JEMA) Vol. 14 No. 2 (2017) http://riset.unisma.ac.id/index.php/jema 148 2.1.7 Student Outcomes/Result All Students who take the Syariah Operational Finance Course - Practicum must be aware to focus on achieving the targets charged to achieve good learning outcomes. According to Sugihartono (2007: 74) learning is a process of behavioral change as a result of individual interaction with the environment in fulfilling the needs of his/her life. According to Eko Putro Widoyoko (2009: 1), the results of learning is related to measurement, then there will be a judgment and evaluation using both test and non-test. Evaluation is preceded by assessment, while assessment is preceded by measurement. In Big Indonesian Dictionary (2005), achievement is the result achieved (from what has been done, performed, etc.). According to Sardman A.M (2007: 46), achievement is a real ability namely the result of interaction between various factors that affect both from within and outside the individual in learning. It means that every one's business will produce an achievement. This learning achievement can be expressed in the form of values or letters or test results. Student learning achievement can be known after the evaluation. The results of the evaluation can show the the student whether he/she is high and low achiever. Assessment of Learning Outcomes is an assessment of the objectives of teaching to be achieved. Learning outcomes that must be achieved by learners in one institution will include cognitive, affective, and psychomotor (Skill). Types of evaluation used are in the form of oral tests, written tests, and action tests. Information of Student Learning Outcomes can not only be obtained through the test alone but can be in the form of observation, checks, and others. The above measurements are very advantageous if used in the field and laboratory because assessment of Learning Results prioritizing skill performance. What have nature of skill is difficult to measured by the test and assessment of learning outcomes in Higher Education by using scale A, B, C, D, E. 2.3 HYPOTHESES The proposed hypothesis for this research is : H1 : There is simultaneous influences between Internships, Practicum Books, Students Activeness (Presences and Participation), Examination (Middle and Final Test) and Student Fruitfulness. H2 : There is partial influence between Internships, Practicum Books, Students Activeness, Examination (Presences and Participation), (Middle and Final Test) and Student Fruitfulness. 3. RESEARCH METHODS 3.1 Research Design This research uses explanatory research method. Explanatory research according to (Arikunto, 1997: 3) is a method using the same data, explaining the causal relationship between variables through testing. According to (Umar, 1999: 36) explanatory research is a study that aims to analyze the relationships between one variable with other variables or how a variable affects other variables. This research is expected to generate profits and benefits by performing internship on Syariah Operational Finance Course that has an influence on good or bad results of Accounting Department – Facult of Economics, Islamic University of Malang students. Beside expected learning outcomes, students can develop work experience skills as they compete for jobs that meet their expectations. The study wanted to show whether there is a match between the expectations and the reality that occurred about internships, liveliness, practical books, semester exam on learning outcomes. This research itself is done during the lecture of Syariah Operational Finance Course starts at the beginning of the lecture until the final assessment of Semester Test conducted in February 2017 until August 2017. 3.2 Research Variables According Sugiyono (2003: 33) independent variable is a variable that affects or which causes the change or occurrence of dependent (bound) variable. Independent variable to measure the success of Students in Sharia Finance Operational Course, among others : Jurnal Ilmiah Bidang Akuntansi dan Manajemen (JEMA) Vol. 14 No. 2 (2017) http://riset.unisma.ac.id/index.php/jema 149 1. Internship 2. Practicum Books 3. Student Activeness (Participation and Presences) 4. Examination (Middle and Final Semester Test) While dependent/bound variable according to Arikunto (2000: 101) is a variable that is explained or influenced by independent variables. The dependent variable in this study is student learning outcomes. 3.3 Research Frameworks Picture 4 Research Framework 3.4 Type of Data And Sampling Method Data source that used in this research is primary data. Primary data sources are data taken from the field through observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Data collection techniques used in this study are through interviews, questionnaire instruments/questionnaires, while the data collection tools that used is observation, worksheet, middle test, final test.

Source : Output SPSS 4.4.2 Multicollinearity Test Multicollinearity indicates the presence of more than one perfect linear relationship. It is as stated by Santoso (2003: 203) that the purpose of multicollinearity test is to test whether the regression model found the correlation between independent variables. If there is correlation, then there is called multicollinearity problem. Detecting the presence of multicollinearity is from the amount of VIF (Variance Inflating Factor) and tolerance. If the tolerance value is more than 0.10 and VIF less than 10 then there is no multicollinearity problem. The multicollinearity test results can be seen in the following table: Jurnal Ilmiah Bidang Akuntansi dan Manajemen (JEMA) Vol. 14 No. 2 (2017) http://riset.unisma.ac.id/index.php/jema 152 Tabel 4 Multicollinearity Test Model Unstandardized Coefficients Standardized Coefficients T Sig.

Dependent Variable: Student Results Source : Output SPSS 4.4.3 Heteroscedasticity Test The heteroscedasticity test is to test whether in regression model there is a variance inequality of the residual from one observation to another. This study uses Glejser test. How to do that is by regressing between independent variables with absolute residual value (AbsUi). Based on the result of heteroscedasticity test, it can be understood from the significance of each value variable all above 0.01 with Presences (0.849), Middle Test (0.344), Final Test (0.342), Practicum Book (0.137), Participation (0.297), Internships (0.586). This means that there is no Heterocedasticity where the independent variables have the same/homogeneous variant.
