Abstract

The pressing demand for work-relevant vocational English textbooks is essential for delivering effective learning materials that align with students' requirements. Appropriate textbooks can boost English language competence by enhancing students' abilities in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Listening skills form the cornerstone for developing proficiency in other language areas. However, survey revealed that 92.3% of the 52 vocational schools in Batam City had not updated their English textbooks, and 96.2% lacked listening materials tailored to industrial demands. As a result, only 11.87% of the 4,035 Batam City vocational school students who passed the test showed competence in the listening component of the English assessment. This research aims to create a valid and effective vocational English textbook that improves students' English communication abilities based on workplace requirements. To accomplish this goal, the study employed a developmental research approach (Borg and Gall). The research was conducted in Batam City, encompassing 52 vocational schools, 95 English teachers, and 4,070 vocational school students in Batam City, Indonesia. The study's outcomes indicate that: 1) the vocational English listening textbook developed was empirically validated with an average score of 3.6, placing it in the highly valid category. 2) This textbook has also been empirically shown to be effective in enhancing students' listening competence, with a sig. value of 0.000, which was below 0.05. Consequently, this textbook benefits the government and stakeholders, particularly vocational English instructors in Batam City, by improving their English communication competence through the provision of textbooks relevant to industrial contexts.

Abstract

The development of an entrepreneurship curriculum that integrates Islamic values ​​is a strategic stage to form a generation of entrepreneurs who are not only professionally competent but also have noble morals and in the increasingly complex era of globalization, entrepreneurial skills are a crucial aspect that must be possessed by vocational high school graduates. However, the main challenge in implementing an entrepreneurship program based on Islamic values ​​lies in the degree of ensuring a balance between learning business skills and internalizing Islamic character. This study is targeted to analyze the model of integration of Islamic values ​​in the entrepreneurship curriculum at SMKIT Kemilau Bangsa Batam and evaluate its impact on student competence and character. The research method currently implemented is based on a qualitative descriptive perspective, comprehensively exploring the degree of the concept of integration of Islamic values ​​implemented in the planning, organization, implementation, and evaluation of entrepreneurship programs. Regardless of these conditions, this study is targeted to identify factors that influence the effectiveness of the program. It is hoped that this study will provide a perspective on the optimal strategy as an effort to linearize entrepreneurship learning supported by Islamic values, as well as provide policy recommendations to improve the effectiveness of the curriculum based on Islamic values. The output of this study is a model of an entrepreneurship curriculum based on Islamic values ​​that can be a reference for other schools in developing innovative and sustainable Islamic entrepreneurship programs.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the level of relevance between the vocational materials taught in vocational schools and the job qualifications required in the machining industry, using normative standards as a reference. Based on data from production operator tasks obtained through direct observation at PT. Sawit Riau Makmur, and materials taken from vocational school education documents based on the Merdeka Curriculum, the results of the study show that the relevance of vocational materials in vocational schools to the tasks of operators in the industry is still low. Only 1.59% of the material is relevant to industrial tasks, while most of the material is either inappropriate or does not cover the industry's needs. This highlights a competency gap that needs to be addressed immediately through curriculum revision. Errors in the preparation of this curriculum impact the readiness of vocational school graduates to work directly in the industry.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) combined with artificial intelligence (AI) tools in enhancing pre-service teachers' critical thinking and self-efficacy inside an instructional design course.Methodology – A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was applied. The study involved 46 pre-service teachers engaged in an instructional design course at a private university in Indonesia, chosen using purposive sampling. Two instruments were used: a 25-item critical thinking questionnaire and a 10-item self-efficacy scale. Normality tests were conducted, followed by paired-sample t-tests to determine differences between pre-test and post-test scores.Findings – The findings showed a statistically significant improvement in both critical thinking (t = -116.464, p < .001) and self-efficacy (t = -56.328, p < .001) after the AI-supported PBL intervention. The normality assumptions were met, and the effect size was notably strong for both variables. These results suggest that incorporating AI technologies into project-based learning can significantly improve pre-service teachers' cognitive and emotional preparedness for future teaching practices.Contribution – This study contributes to the teacher education literature by providing empirical evidence for the integration of AI technologies in project-based learning, promoting critical thinking and self-efficacy. It offers practical insights for instructional designers and educators seeking to equip future teachers with the competencies required in technologically rich educational environments.

Abstract

The cross-border community service program under the theme Eco-Connect ASEAN 2025 was implemented on Tanjung Surat Island, Malaysia, with the support of the Johor Customs Office. This program was initiated in response to strategic issues related to the sustainable management of local resources, as well as an effort to strengthen people-to-people diplomacy among ASEAN countries. The primary objective of the program is to utilize Jong (traditional boats that serve as cultural identity and tourist attraction) and Kelulut honey (stingless bees with high economic and ecological value) as means for ecotourism development and local community empowerment. The methods employed included field observation, socialization and education, focused group discussions, and product branding workshops, with a participatory approach to ensure active community involvement. From a public administration perspective, the program emphasizes the strengthening of community-based ecotourism governance, the formation of cross-border networks, and support for achieving the ASEAN 2025 sustainable development agenda.The outcomes of the program include increased community awareness of the importance of ecotourism management, the establishment of discussion groups on Kelulut honey management, the creation of cross-border cooperation networks as part of the Eco-Connect ASEAN initiative, and enhanced community skills in optimizing local potential to support a sustainable economy.

Abstract

Kampung Tanjung Surat on Tanjung Surat Island, Kota Tinggi, Johor, is a coastal island community that has developed through ecotourism initiatives and mangrove conservation, with primary access via waterways and support from various CSR programs and university and public agency service-learning initiatives. This community service program focuses on light restoration and repainting of a support building used for community activities and field training related to the Royal Malaysian Customs Academy (AKMAL), with emphasis on coastal environmental resilience (high humidity, salt spray) and cost efficiency through community gotong royong (collective work). The measured work area is 400 m², covering the main room’s exterior–interior walls and veranda, with the selection of a weather-resistant exterior paint system, anti-alkali primer, anticorrosive coatings for metal elements, and a color scheme harmonious with local maritime culture. Work was carried out on weekends to minimize disruption to daily economic activities, resulting in improved comfort, aesthetics, and service life of the facility that supports community activities and field-learning collaboration in Tanjung Surat.
