Abstract

This study explores the use of a teaching factory-based learning model to optimize Natural and social sciences learning outcomes in Vocational High Schools. Teaching Factory emerged as an innovative solution that bridges vocational education and the industrial world by integrating real production experiences into learning. This model not only equips students with technical skills but also prepares them to face the complexities of the world of work. This study uses a mixed methods approach with the Exploratory Sequential Design method, starting with a qualitative exploration to understand learning phenomena, followed by a quantitative method to test qualitative findings. Data was collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, document analysis, and learning experiments. The results of the study show that the Teaching Factory has excellent potential to increase the relevance of science learning, develop students' practical skills, and motivate students. However, its implementation faces challenges such as limited resources and a lack of institutional support. This research emphasizes the importance of the Teaching Factory as an effective learning model in vocational education, with implications for curriculum development, teacher training, and industry collaboration.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of a scientific approach on the academic performance of 4th students in science. The scientific approach focuses on key processes such as observation, formulating questions, making connections, conducting experiments, analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and presenting findings, distinguishing it from traditional science education methods. Employing a quantitative research design with a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group, the study targeted all Gugus I Gajah Mada Laweyan Surakarta 4th students. A sample of 120 students from eight elementary schools was selected, with participants divided into experimental and control groups, each comprising 60 students. Data collection involved both observational methods and essay assessments featuring 30 questions. The findings revealed a notable disparity in science learning outcomes between students instructed using the scientific approach and those who received conventional instruction. Specifically, students in the experimental group demonstrated significantly superior learning outcomes compared to their counterparts in the control group. The results of the study showed that the assessment of learning outcomes using observation sheets had a significant effect on teacher involvement during the learning process. The results of the Lillefors Statistical test show the difference between scientific and conventional classes, with the former showing a higher value of 0.95 compared to 0.87. This indicates that the use of digital learning media effectively attracts the interest of students and teachers.
