Abstract

This research investigates the various factors that affect entrepreneurial interest among vocational secondary school students enrolled in the electronics engineering program in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The study identifies entrepreneurship as a crucial mechanism for fostering innovation, self-employment, and enhancing national competitiveness. It examines five primary determinants: self-efficacy, family support, entrepreneurial attitude, entrepreneurship education, and social and institutional support. A quantitative ex post facto methodology was utilized, involving 104 respondents chosen through proportional random sampling from three vocational institutions.  Data collection employed a validated four-point Likert scale questionnaire, with analysis conducted via simple and multiple linear regression techniques utilizing SPSS. The findings indicate that all five variables have significant and positive impacts on students' entrepreneurial interest, both independently and in combination. Entrepreneurship education and social–institutional support exhibit the most significant impact, underscoring the critical role of practical learning, mentorship, and supportive ecosystems in shaping entrepreneurial trajectories.  Self-efficacy and family support enhance motivation and confidence, while positive entrepreneurial attitudes promote perseverance and proactive engagement in opportunity recognition. These factors account for nearly half of the variance in entrepreneurial interest, thereby affirming the significance of the Theory of Planned Behavior and Social Cognitive Theory within vocational contexts. This study empirically enhances the discourse on entrepreneurship in technical and vocational education by highlighting the combined influence of psychological, familial, educational, and structural supports on the development of entrepreneurial intentions. Policy implications indicate that promoting entrepreneurship necessitates the alignment of curricular design, family involvement, and institutional policies to enhance entrepreneurial ecosystems within vocational education. Vocational schools can enhance student empowerment by fostering self-efficacy and offering accessible institutional resources, enabling the translation of entrepreneurial aspirations into sustainable ventures.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to create a variable frequency drive (VFD) trainer kit, assess the practicality of the developed VFD educational tool, and evaluate its impact on the academic performance of industrial electronic engineering students, particularly in the area of electronic control systems. The study utilizes the ADDIE model and customized to meet the requirements and consists of the following phases: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. There were 130 respondents consisting of 122 vocational students, 1 industry expert/practitioner in the field of VFD, 1 vocational training center instructor, 4 vocational teachers, and 2 lecturers. Data were collected using questionnaires with 4 Likert scales from strongly agree to strongly disagree, feasibility assessment sheets from media experts and material experts, interviews, and electronic control system learning outcomes tests. The learning media receives a “highly feasible” and the job sheet obtains 67 “highly feasible”. Moreover, the level of effectiveness of the learning media receives a score of 0.724, indicating high effectiveness. Therefore, they have proven to be effective in enhancing student learning outcomes and developing their proficiency in controlling the speed of electric motors. This will help bridge the gap between the industry's skill requirements and the skills taught in schools.
