Abstract

A multidisciplinary approach has become an important strategy in vocational education to prepare graduates who are adaptable to the demands of 21st-century industry. This study offers a novel contribution by developing a multidisciplinary vocational learning model that integrates Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) within a metaverse-oriented learning environment. The model connects real industrial automation problems, collaborative project activities, contextual learning experiences, and digital simulation to enhance students’ technical competence, critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and professional character. This article examines the implementation and effectiveness of the multidisciplinary strategy in the Electropneumatics course. The research employed a qualitative case study approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings indicate that the integration of PjBL and CTL provides meaningful learning experiences by linking theoretical concepts with real industrial applications and digital simulation environments relevant to the Metaverse era. This approach not only improves technical learning outcomes but also fosters responsibility, discipline, teamwork, adaptability, and problem-solving skills. However, its implementation faces several challenges, including human resource readiness, cross-disciplinary curriculum alignment, lecturer competence in digital learning design, and adequate access to digital infrastructure. Therefore, continuous evaluation and synergy among academia, industry, and government are needed to support sustainable implementation. Overall, this multidisciplinary learning model contributes to the development of innovative, contextual, and industry-relevant vocational education, particularly in preparing excellent workers in the field of industrial automation.

Abstract

Tondongkura Village has considerable potential for peanut farming but faces irrigation constraints due to hilly topography and dependence on gasoline-powered pumps. This community engagement program aimed to empower peanut farmers through a solar-powered irrigation system based on a DC pump as an appropriate technology for sustainable agriculture. A participatory approach was implemented through five stages: problem identification, system design, technology implementation, training and technology transfer, and mentoring and monitoring. The program involved 21 peanut farmers from the Bujung-Bujung Farmers Group. The results showed an increase in the average evaluation score from 36.3% to 72.1%, representing an improvement of 35.7 percentage points. The implementation strengthened farmers’ knowledge, skills, and independence in operating and maintaining the irrigation system while reducing dependence on fossil-fuel-based pumping. The program demonstrates the potential of solar-powered irrigation as an appropriate technology to support more efficient, energy-independent, and sustainable peanut farming.
