Abstract

The gap between mastery of pedagogical theory and practical competency in the classroom remains a fundamental challenge in global teacher education. This study aims to analyze the effect of the School Field Introduction (PLP) program as a new policy instrument to bridge this gap on the teaching readiness of prospective teacher students. Using a quantitative approach with an ex-post facto design , this study involved 97 Economics Education students from the 2016 intake of the University of Jambi as respondents. Data were collected through a validated questionnaire instrument and analyzed using simple linear regression. The results empirically prove that PLP has a positive and significant influence on teaching readiness, with a regression coefficient of 0.579 and a high significance value. These findings indicate that direct immersion experiences in schools through cultural observation, assistance, and guided practice play a vital role in transforming declarative knowledge into procedural knowledge and increasing the self-efficacy of prospective teachers. The novelty of this study lies in evaluating the impact of the implementation of the latest teacher education standards regulation (Permenristekdikti No. 55/2017) in the specific context of economics education. This research contributes to the education literature by confirming that PLP is not simply a curricular routine, but rather a key determinant of teacher professionalism. Consequently, Teacher Training Institutions (LPTK) need to strengthen the quality of mentoring during PLP to ensure adaptive and competent graduates.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model on cognitive learning outcomes, psychomotor skills, and entrepreneurial spirit of Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) students on fish-based food processing material. Using a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, this study compared the project-based experimental class (n=30) and the control class (n=28) who learned conventionally. Data analysis was conducted using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test. The results proved that PjBL had a highly significant positive effect (p < 0.05) overall; where the experimental class consistently outperformed the control class with a more even distribution of abilities. The novelty of this study lies in the successful integration of culinary vocational pedagogy with micro-scale edupreneurship incubation in early adolescence. Specifically, this study makes an important contribution to the literature on economic education by proving that entrepreneurial character, self-efficacy, and understanding of basic business calculations can be naturally cultivated through simulations of real-life project completion. The implications of these findings encourage educational institutions to transform rote curricula into product-based learning. This research recommends implementing mini-business ecosystems in schools, such as Market Day, to continuously bridge academic knowledge with real-world economic practices.
