Abstract

Continuous professional development for lecturers, bolstered by government initiatives, is crucial for their ability to meet the changing requirements of the labour market. This research explored the effects and long-term viability of the Non-Degree Program for Polytechnic Lecturers (NDPKD) in Indonesia. The study employed both open- and closed-ended questionnaires to examine the program's impact on improving vocational education. A total of 512 lecturers from both state and private polytechnics took part in the study. The results indicated that the NDPKD program had a beneficial impact on the competencies of lecturers and fostered enhanced collaboration with industry partners. Participants indicated that their skills and knowledge had improved, resulting in more effective teaching practices and increased engagement with the industry. Nonetheless, a number of challenges arose, such as time constraints, variations in initial skill levels, and a lack of adequate institutional support. The constraints of time posed challenges for lecturers in fulfilling program requirements alongside their current responsibilities. Additionally, the diverse levels of competency highlighted the necessity for more customised training approaches. The lack of substantial institutional support significantly diminished the program's overall effectiveness. The study suggests implementing more adaptable scheduling options, creating tailored training programs, and enhancing the support systems within institutions. By focusing on these elements, we can improve the continuity and sustainability of the NDPKD program, thereby maximising its impact on vocational education in Indonesia.

Abstract

In the era of digital transformation, teachers are expected to integrate technology into classroom practices to enhance students’ engagement and 21st-century skills. Within the framework of the Merdeka Belajar curriculum, technology-enhanced learning plays a vital role in fostering creativity, collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and character development. However, many English teachers still face challenges in utilizing digital tools effectively due to limited technological competence and pedagogical readiness. This community service (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat or PkM) program was designed to strengthen the digital and pedagogical capacities of junior high school English teachers in Bogor Regency through training on the development of deep learning–based instructional videos using the Animaker platform. The activity was conducted on September 26, 2025, and involved 36 teachers who are members of the Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran (MGMP) English Teachers Association. The program adopted a four-stage model consisting of observation, socialization, training and mentoring, and evaluation. Data were collected through observation, participant feedback, and reflective discussions. The findings indicate that the program significantly improved teachers’ understanding and skills in designing and producing animation-based instructional videos. Teachers demonstrated greater creativity, confidence, and motivation in integrating technology into their English lessons. Moreover, the training fostered collaborative learning, reflective practice, and professional growth among participants. This program highlights the importance of ongoing professional development and institutional support in equipping teachers with digital pedagogical competencies to meet the demands of modern education.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Differentiated Instruction (DI) within the Merdeka Curriculum on teaching strategies and students’ learning motivation in an English classroom at a public senior high school. A qualitative descriptive case study design was employed involving two English teachers and twelve students. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that teachers implemented DI through four main dimensions: content, process, product, and learning environment. Various strategies such as group discussions, project-based learning, and interactive activities were applied to accommodate students’ diverse abilities. The implementation of DI enhanced students’ engagement, confidence, and participation in English learning. However, challenges such as limited time, lack of diagnostic assessment skills, and insufficient training affected the consistency of implementation. Overall, DI contributes positively to student-centered learning and increases learning motivation, although further professional development is needed for optimal implementation.
