Abstract


The present study aimed to assess the apprenticeship class at Christian School. This present study used descriptive research and a survey. Respondents in the study were parents and learners at the Christian Academy as they participated in outdoor classes. We took surveys to students in Grades 3 to 6. Samples were chosen from the population using simple random sampling. Parent-respondents were described using the profile of the respondents including age, sex, and economic status, teaching, and learning. They were asked to focus on teaching and learning in apprenticeship classes. The findings revealed that the parents “Strongly Agree” with the teaching and learning in the apprenticeship class. The relationship between the performance of learners and the assessment of parents in teaching apprenticeship lessons has significant results, while learning has not substantial results. Parents were very satisfied with the apprenticeship class, learners showed hard work and interest in each subject, and parents had different views on assessing the success of apprenticeship. It was recommended to organize regular meetings and workshops together with the parents, recognize the hard work of the learners, and make a conversation with the parents on the success and other challenges.
