Abstract
ABSTRACT
The Nutritionist Professional Competency Standards in Indonesia are regulated by the Ministry of Health Regulation No. 342/2020, while the Indonesian National Work Competency Standards (SKKNI) for Nutritionists are outlined in the Ministry of Manpower Regulation No. 156/2019. However, no information technology (IT)-based self-assessment instrument currently exists to evaluate competency mastery and work readiness among graduates of nutrition vocational education. This study aimed to develop an IT-based self-assessment software to assess these competencies among prospective nutritionists. The research was conducted in two stages: (1) development of the software and (2) a survey using the tool. Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically. Conducted from May to October 2022, the study involved prospective graduates of a nutrition vocational program. Results showed that the software, named “askomnutritionist”, was successfully developed. Findings revealed that 68.18 percent of respondents were in the Mastered category, 21.79 percent in the Fully Mastered category, and 9.03 percent in the Not Mastered category. Regarding work readiness, 61.06 percent were Ready to Work and 34.96 percent Very Ready, while 3.98 percent were Less Ready or Not Ready. A potential correlation between competency mastery and work readiness was observed. In conclusion, a small proportion of graduates still lack adequate competencies and readiness. The software can serve as a valuable tool for evaluation and curriculum integration to improve graduate quality.

ABSTRAK
Standar Kompetensi Profesi Nutrisionis di Indonesia diatur melalui Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan No. 342/2020, sedangkan Standar Kompetensi Kerja Nasional Indonesia (SKKNI) untuk Nutrisionis ditetapkan dalam Peraturan Menteri Ketenagakerjaan No. 156/2019. Namun, hingga kini belum tersedia instrumen penilaian mandiri berbasis teknologi informasi (TI) untuk mengevaluasi penguasaan kompetensi dan kesiapan kerja lulusan pendidikan vokasi gizi. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan perangkat lunak penilaian mandiri berbasis TI untuk menilai kompetensi tersebut pada calon nutrisionis. Penelitian dilakukan dalam dua tahap: (1) pengembangan perangkat lunak dan (2) survei menggunakan perangkat tersebut. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif dan analitik. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada Mei–Oktober 2022 dengan melibatkan calon lulusan program studi vokasi gizi. Hasil menunjukkan perangkat lunak “askomnutritionist” berhasil dikembangkan. Sebanyak 68,18 persen responden berada pada kategori Menguasai dan 21,79 persen Sangat Menguasai, sementara 9,03 persen melaporkan Tidak Menguasai. Dari sisi kesiapan kerja, 61,06 persen menyatakan Siap Kerja dan 34,96 persen Sangat Siap Kerja, sedangkan 3,98 persen berada pada kategori Kurang Siap atau Tidak Siap. Potensi korelasi antara penguasaan kompetensi dan kesiapan kerja teridentifikasi. Disimpulkan bahwa sebagian kecil lulusan masih kurang dalam penguasaan kompetensi (9,03%) maupun kesiapan kerja (3,98%). Perangkat lunak ini berpotensi menjadi instrumen penting untuk evaluasi dan integrasi kurikulum guna meningkatkan mutu lulusan.
