Abstract

Vocational education plays a crucial role in preparing students for the workforce, particularly in journalism and digital business. This study examines the implementation of Project-Based Education and Training (PBET) in an industrial internship (PKL) at PT Kreasi Ngalam Media and evaluates its impact on vocational high school students' competencies using SWOT analysis. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire to measure students’ perceptions and open-ended questions to gather qualitative insights. The analysis categorized responses into strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, followed by descriptive statistical analysis to determine the average score for each component. The results show that strengths (2.21) and opportunities (2.16) significantly outweigh weaknesses (1.1) and threats (1.07), indicating PBET’s effectiveness in enhancing students’ industry adaptability and hands-on experience. A strengths-opportunities (SO) score of 4.37 reinforces its potential to develop relevant vocational skills. However, lower scores in weaknesses and threats highlight ongoing challenges, particularly in bridging the gap between school-based theory and industry practices. To address this, the study recommends structured hands-on training, stronger industry mentorship, and improved school-industry collaboration, ensuring that students acquire practical competencies aligned with industry demands. These recommendations are directly based on the SWOT findings, emphasizing the need for real-world application within PBET to optimize vocational education outcomes and prepare students for the digital workforce.  Vocational education plays a crucial role in preparing students for the workforce, particularly in journalism and digital business.

Abstract

Digital education expands rapidly, yet research on Progressive Web Apps (PWA) and Self-Organized Learning Environments (SOLE) often proceeds separately, obscuring how integration with standardized critical-thinking measures improves learning. This review addresses that gap by synthesizing evidence, specifying how PWA affordances scaffold SOLE processes, and offering guidance for practice and policy. A Systematic Literature Review (SPAR-4-SLR) was conducted. Searches in Scopus, SINTA, and Google Scholar covered 2020–2025 using Boolean strings (PWA and SOLE and “critical thinking”). Inclusion targeted peer-reviewed studies in formal education reporting learning or critical-thinking outcomes; screening followed PRISMA 2020. Instruments comprised a four-criterion Likert quality appraisal (objectives clarity, methodological appropriateness, data quality and completeness, educational relevance; cutoff ≥ 12), a standardized data-extraction form, and NVivo 12 for thematic analysis with calibration and inter-rater agreement (Cohen’s κ ≥ 0.70). Twenty-five studies were included. Results show 32% focused on PWA (flexibility, motivation, project-based engagement), 40% on SOLE (independence, collaboration, inquiry), and 28% on integrated approaches indicating potential for adaptive, participatory, contextual ecosystems, although instruments are heterogeneous and causal designs limited. Theoretically, the review specifies a technology–pedagogy alignment that maps offline access, installability, responsiveness, and notifications to SOLE phases and core critical-thinking dimensions. Practically, it recommends a design checklist for educators, rubric and outcome alignment for curriculum developers, and policies prioritizing device access, reliable connectivity with offline options, lightweight authentication, and professional development for SOLE facilitation.
