Abstract

The study was aimed at investigating the advantages of the habituation of running maintenance and supervision over the practice learning process and the learning achievement of the students of Mechanical Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta. It was participatory classroom action research. The subjects were 80 third-semester students grouped into the group C class. The data on the habituation of running maintenance were collected using a questionnaire; those on the students' learning achievement were collected through documentation and analyzed using a descriptive technique; those on the supervision intensity and machine feasibility were gathered through observations and analyzed using the descriptive qualitative technique. The findings showed that: 1.) The implementation of running maintenance used the systems of coaching, mentoring, and supervision with an optimal intensity of lecturers in teaching-learning machining practices; 2.) The habituation of running maintenance was done through standard procedures, and the implemented action took three cycles; 3.) The achievement of the habituation of running maintenance on students during the implementation of teaching-learning practices was characterized by the rapid job sheet completion that must be taken in one semester; and 4.) With the habituation of running maintenance, the feasibility of the existing machines in the workshop could be maintained.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted various sectors, including the education sector. This study aimed to determine Polbangtan YoMa students' readiness to follow online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research is survey research. The subjects of this study were 158 Polbangtan YoMa students. The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. This study results are: (1) the aspects of facilities and infrastructure get the percentage of 66%, meaning that Polbangtan YoMa students are ready to follow the learning from the aspect of  facilities and infrastructure; (2) the technological literacy aspect gets the percentage of 65%; meaning the Polbangtan YoMa students are ready to follow the learning from the aspect of their technological literacy abilities; (3) the quality aspect of online interactions gets the percentage 35%; meaning that Polbangtan YoMa students are not ready to take part in learning from the aspect of online interaction quality capabilities; (4) aspects of the benefits of online learning get the average sroce percentage of 52%, meaning that Polbangtan YoMa students agree that online learning will be helpful; (5) aspects of assistance services get the percentage of 67%, meaning that Polbangtan YoMa students entirely agree that assistance services help in online learning; and (6) aspects of online learning prospects get the average score percentage of 57%, meaning that Polbangtan YoMa students somewhat agree that online learning provides online learning prospects, thus Polbangtan YoMa students are ready to do online learning with an average proportion of 57%. The online learning model used at Polbangtan YoMa is asynchronous learning using e-learning, WhatsApp, and Google Classroom.

Abstract

The development of soft skills remains a critical challenge in vocational education, as the curriculum often prioritises technical competencies while neglecting systematic integration of interpersonal skills. This study aims to develop and evaluate the Peer-Engaged Project Application Model (PePA), a project-based learning framework designed to enhance communication, teamwork, and problem-solving through structured peer engagement. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach based on the ADDIE model, the research was conducted in the D4 Mechanical Engineering Program at Yogyakarta State University. The PePA model was tested on a group of 15 students in the Fabrication Construction Practices course. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires, structured observations, and semi-structured interviews, and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, along with qualitative techniques. The implementation of PePA resulted in improved performance in soft skills, with average scores increasing from 3.03 to 3.65 (communication), 3.20 to 3.78 (teamwork), and 3.13 to 3.70 (problem-solving). The model was also rated as “very valid” by expert evaluators, with an average validation score ranging from 3.58 to 3.85. These findings suggest that PePA is a feasible and effective learning model for strengthening vocational students' soft skills in alignment with industry expectations. The model has potential applicability beyond engineering education and supports policy recommendations for integrating soft skills into vocational curricula.

Abstract

Continuous Improvement (CI) has become a critical management philosophy for achieving sustainable competitiveness in manufacturing industries. However, despite its widespread adoption, many CI initiatives fail due to human‐related barriers that hinder implementation at the organizational level. This study aims to identify and analyze the key human factors that impede CI implementation in Indonesian manufacturing industries and to explore strategies for overcoming these challenges. Using a qualitative exploratory design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 manufacturing practitioners and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal seven major human-related inhibitors to successful CI implementation: complacency, misperception, irritability, individualism, work rigidity, frustration, and stress.  Collectively, these factors erode motivation, weaken collaborative capabilities, and intensify resistance to organizational change, which in turn restricts organizational learning and performance enhancement. The results corroborate existing literature emphasizing the significance of human and cultural aspects in sustaining CI initiatives. To address these barriers, the study highlights the importance of fostering a supportive organizational culture that promotes psychological safety, teamwork, and incremental learning through the Kaizen philosophy. Management interventions should focus on strengthening human engagement, realistic goal setting, and reward mechanisms that value collective effort and continuous learning.This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on CI by providing an in-depth understanding of the human dimension of continuous improvement in developing-country manufacturing contexts. The findings offer both theoretical enrichment and practical guidance for leaders seeking to cultivate sustainable CI cultures driven by people rather than processes.
