Abstract

The wickerwork home industry in Jombang Regency, which utilizes screw pine and bamboo, plays an important role in local employment. However, its development remains constrained by manual production processes and limited marketing strategies. This study aims to examine the implementation of technological automation and the digitalization of promotional efforts in wickerwork home industries using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, consisting of identification, planning, action, observation, and evaluation stages. The program involved two home industries, including owners and employees, in adopting simple automation technologies and digital marketing practices. The results indicate that the application of automation technology improved production efficiency and enabled businesses to better meet customer demand. In addition, digital promotion training covering product photography, content creation, and the use of AI tools enhanced marketing reach through social media, contributing to increased national-level demand. This study highlights that integrating automation and digital marketing can strengthen the competitiveness of small-scale industries. However, sustained mentoring and multi-stakeholder support are essential to ensure long-term impact, expand employment opportunities, and promote business sustainability.

Abstract

The challenges of implementing inclusive vocational education for students with special educational needs in higher education are increasingly complex, particularly in a practice-based fashion course that requires technical and procedural competencies. This study aims to examine instructional strategies for students with special educational needs in a fashion practicum course. A classroom action research design employing a Longitudinal Quasi-Qualitative approach was conducted over one semester, involving three students categorized into mild, moderate, and severe levels of need. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, using observation checklists, semi-structured interview guides, and field notes. The research procedure followed iterative cycles of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns in instructional practices and student responses. The findings indicate that a uniform instructional approach implemented in the first cycle was ineffective, particularly for students with moderate and severe needs, due to a mismatch between task demands and learner characteristics. In contrast, the second cycle, which incorporated differentiated tasks, simplified instructions, and personalized sensory stimuli, significantly improved student engagement and learning accessibility. This study concludes that effective inclusive vocational education requires adaptive instructional design that integrates cognitive, emotional, and sensory dimensions, and highlights the potential of adaptive learning ecosystems to enhance sustainable inclusion and work readiness.
