The purpose of this study was to find the empirical evidence, whether computer anxiety had an effect on computer proficiency or not. Computer anxiety is tendency of someone when she/he got a problem, anxious or afraid in using computer technology. This study used Computer Anxiety Rating Scale (CARS) wich developed by Heissen et. al and Computer Self-Efficacy Scale (CSE)that developed by Murphy et. al. The data findings indicated that computer anxiety had negatif correlation with computer proficiency. It meant that if the employee had computer anxiety, his/her computer proficiency is indicated as low. This finding was consistent with the similar research conducted by Sudaryono and Astuti (2005).

Abstract   The community service activity aims to optimize the potential of teachers in making presentations through collaboration. Meaningful collaboration media presentations that will be used are done together. This makes the presentation made better, more complete, and has an attractive appearance. SMK Catur Global is a school that is adaptive to the development of learning technology. One of them is the technology of making teaching media in the form of presentations. Prezi application is used to make presentations that allow collaboration between teachers to make presentation material. The implementation method begins with (1) Introduction: create virtual classes using google classroom. Then upload the application and material and register all training participants in the classroom. The application was installed before the training. Stage (2) Implementation: We explained the importance of innovation in making presentations and the importance of teamwork, participants were divided into small groups according to their fields, and demonstrated their use using computers. Each group chooses one teaching material to make their presentation. Each group made a presentation of the teaching material. Each group can discuss with the speaker if experiencing difficulties. Stage (3) Evaluation: each group presents their work and uploads it to the virtual class. The speaker gave input so that the presentations made could be better. The results of this training train teamwork in producing the best work, train creativity in using computer application technology to improve learning outcomes, make teaching effective, make it easier to see material in one main picture.   Keywords: Community Service, Prezy, Team Work, SMK Catur Global   Abstrak   Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mengoptimalkan potensi guru dalam membuat presentasi melalui kolaborasi. Kolaborasi bermakna media presentasi yang akan digunakan dikerjakan secara bersama-sama. Hal ini menjadikan hasil presentasi yang dibuat lebih baik, lengkap, dan memiliki tampilan yang menarik. SMK Catur Global merupakan sekolah yang adaptif terhadap perkembangan teknologi pembelajaran. Salah satunya adalah terhadap teknologi pembuatan media ajar berupa presentasi. Aplikasi Prezi digunakan untuk membuat presentasi yang memungkinkan terjadi kolaborasi antar guru dalam membuat materi presentasi. Metode pelaksanaan diawali dengan (1) Pendahuluan: membuat kelas maya menggunakan google classroom. Kemudian mengunggah aplikasi dan materi serta mendaftarkan semua peserta pelatihan pada classroom tersebut. Aplikasi sudah diinstal sebelum pelaksanaan pelatihan. Tahap (2) Pelaksanaan: Kami menjelaskan pentingnya inovasi dalam pembuatan presentasi dan pentingnya kerjasama tim, peserta dibagi dalam kelompok kecil sesuai bidangnya, dan mendemonstrasikan penggunaanya menggunakan komputer. Setiap kelompok memilih satu materi ajar untuk dibuatkan presentasinya. Setiap kelompok membuat presentasi dari materi ajar tersebut. Setiap kelompok dapat berdiskusi dengan pemateri jika mengalami kesulitan. Tahap (3) Evaluasi: setiap kelompok mempresentasikan karyanya dan mengunggah pada kelas maya. Pemateri memberi masukan agar presentasi yang dibuat dapat lebih baik.

This article reports on research that aims to enhance self-directed learning by introducing cooperative learning strategies. The two-fold aim of this research was firstly to determine whether the implementation of cooperative learning in a Computer Application Technology class of first-year students contributed to positive attitudes towards learning, and secondly, whether students’ attitudes towards learning, after completion of the cooperative learning intervention, related to their self-directedness. We conclude that the implementation of cooperative learning in a Computer Application Technology first-year class positively contributes to students’ attitudes towards learning and their attitudes towards learning related to their perceived self-directed learning (SDL) readiness.
