Abstract

Students with learning disabilities (SLD) with potential for independent living and economic contribution can thrive by participating in technical and vocational programs tailored to the food industry. To ensure that SLDs do not lag behind a thorough comprehension of the challenges they confront is imperative for all stakeholders, including parents, instructors, and the government. Thus, the study investigated the challenges of engaging in vocational education for SLD. This study utilized systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, which synthesizes research findings to generate new insights and understandings. This study identified six challenges that students with learning disabilities must overcome before entering the workforce. The challenges are i) employment difficulties; ii) lack of resilience; iii) mismatch between special educational institution and industry needs; iv) curriculum deficiency for students with learning disabilities; v) lack of parental involvement and employer support; and vi) insufficient understanding of job descriptions in the food industry. Findings from this study provide valuable insights into the challenges faced by SLDs seeking to be part of the food industry. This knowledge can facilitate further research to develop job profiles that align with their unique abilities, ultimately fostering their success in careers and enriching their lives.

Abstract

immersive learning environments that enhance practical skills, engagement, and conceptual understanding. Despite its promise, AR adoption in TVET is still limited, often hindered by high costs, lack of infrastructure, and insufficient training for instructors. This scoping review explores how AR is being used in TVET settings, based on 17 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2024 in Scopus and Web of Science databases. Following Arksey and O’Malley’s framework and PRISMA guidelines, the review identified three main themes: the benefits of AR in simulation-based learning and student engagement; key barriers including cost and technical challenges; and the importance of digital literacy and institutional support in successful implementation. While AR shows strong potential to bridge the gap between theory and hands-on practice, more needs to be done to ensure its sustainable use. The findings offer practical insights for educators, researchers, and policymakers, stressing the need for better infrastructure, continuous professional development, and more long-term studies to fully realize AR’s role in preparing students for modern industry demands.
