Abstract

Vocational graduates face a significant employment gap, with an Open Unemployment Rate of 8.63%, indicating a mismatch between graduate competencies and industrial demands. This study examines Self-Efficacy as a mediator between Practical Skills, Social Environmental Factors, Academic Activities, and Industrial Work Practice (Prakerin) readiness among vocational students. Using a quantitative explanatory approach, data were collected from 96 Grade XI Automotive Light Vehicle Engineering students at SMK Negeri 2 Lubuk Basung and analyzed via PLS-SEM with SmartPLS 4. Results revealed that Practical Skills exerted the strongest influence on Self-Efficacy (β=0.407; p

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to ascertain how using educational games based on Android affected students' learning results in the Electrical Engineering Fundamentals course, particularly with regard to fundamental cable connection procedures. This study included a nonequivalent control group design, a quasi-experimental method, and a quantitative methodology. 62 10th graders enrolled in a Vocational High School in Banten, Indonesia's Electrical Power Installation Engineering (TITL) program served as the subjects; 30 of them were in the control group and 32 were in the experimental group. Tests (pretest and posttest) and questionnaires were utilized as data collection methods. The research tool was tested for validity and reliability, and the results showed that it was suitable for usage. The average pretest and posttest scores rose from 55.00 to 74.00 in the control class and from 47.19 to 77.50 in the experimental class, according to the data. With a significance threshold of 0.000 0.05, the paired sample t-test revealed a calculated t-value of -14.827 for the control class and -18.735 for the experimental class, showing a substantial improvement in learning outcomes following the treatment. An average score of 0.89, classified as appropriate, was obtained through validation by media and material specialists. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of Android-based educational games is effective and has a significant impact on improving student learning outcomes compared to conventional learning methods.

Abstract

Vocational education demands continuous innovation in instructional media to enhance students’ comprehension of increasingly complex technical concepts. In response to the global shift toward sustainable energy solutions, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of solar panel trainers as hands-on, technology-based learning tools in the teaching of electrical installation engineering. Utilizing a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups, the research was conducted at a vocational high school and involved two student groups: one using conventional learning methods and another using solar panel trainers. Data were collected through structured tests assessing both theoretical understanding and practical skills. The results indicate a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group’s performance, particularly in understanding the principles of renewable energy and applying them in electrical system installations. These findings highlight the pedagogical benefits of integrating renewable energy technologies into vocational curricula. The study suggests that using practical, real-world tools like solar panel trainers not only enhances learning outcomes but also equips students with relevant competencies for sustainability-driven industries.

Abstract

The Special Job Exchange, or Bursa Kerja Khusus (BKK), is a school-based career service unit that supports graduate placement and strengthens the link between vocational education and industry needs. However, BKK services at SMKN 2 Tangerang were still managed conventionally through manual alumni records, simple spreadsheets, and informal job vacancy dissemination. This study developed a web-based BKK information system integrated with the Profile Matching method to support alumni data management, job vacancy distribution, and competency-based job recommendation. The study used a Research and Development approach with the Waterfall model, including requirement analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. The system was developed using PHP and MySQL. The results showed that the system supported centralized alumni data management, real-time vacancy information distribution, and structured job recommendation ranking. Black Box Testing indicated that all main features functioned according to user requirements, while algorithmic verification confirmed that the Profile Matching calculation was consistent with manual computation. User Acceptance Testing produced an average score of 91%, indicating that the system was feasible for supporting digital BKK services.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of Electric Vehicle (EV) technology and Industry 4.0 requirements necessitate vocational high schools (SMK) to integrate adaptive learning models. This study systematically reviews development trends, integrated models, and their impact on students' workforce readiness in the EV sector. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with the PRISMA protocol, 50 relevant articles (2021-2025) were analyzed. Findings indicate that integrating the Industry-Oriented Project-Based Learning (I-ProBL) model and the Integrated EV Learning Simulator (EVLIS) significantly enhances technical competencies and workforce readiness. These models effectively bridge the gap between theory and practice while mitigating high-voltage safety risks. Synthesis shows that a hybrid approach—combining standardized industrial projects with safety-certified digital simulations—is the most effective strategy for preparing a competent workforce. This review provides a strategic framework for educators and policymakers to accelerate curriculum transformation aligned with the global green energy transition.

Abstract

Vocational education is crucial in providing skilled workers ready to challenges of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Indonesia currently faces a low graduate competency, leading to a gap in meeting Business and Industrial World (DUDI) demands. As a solution, vocational institutions have begun adopting an effective learning model, the teaching factory (TEFA). The challenge in implementing the TEFA model is that the program has not been systematically mapped, so its effectiveness has not been clearly illustrated by vocational institutions. This study aims to synthesize implementation models, identify challenges, and analyze the impact of TEFA on improving the competency of vocational students. This study uses a systematic literature review method, with the 2020 Prisma protocol of 31 relevant articles from the DOAJ and Google Scholar databases for the 2021-2025 period. The synthesis results classify TEFA implementation into four models: Production-Based Education and Training (PBET), Project-Based Learning (PjBL), Competency-Based Training (CBT), and Dual System, with the PBET model dominating. Challenges identified include educators' human resources (HR), the speed of technology/infrastructure adaptation that is not yet aligned with industry standards, and a lack of close collaborative partnerships. The impact of competency shows that TEFA is effective in improving student competency, particularly in soft and hard skills. The literature review concludes that TEFA is an effective learning program that increases curriculum relevance and student competency. However, for optimal effectiveness on job readiness, a collaborative/hybrid model (dual system, PBET, CBT) and human resource development through managerial optimization are required.
