<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Maritime vocational education is expected not only to produce graduates with strong technical competencies but also to cultivate work-related character aligned with the demands of safety, responsibility, discipline, and teamwork. However, character development within practical learning is often positioned as a supporting component, while the integration of local cultural values, particularly Malay work-character values, has received limited attention in the specific context of ship machinery practice. This study aimed to analyze the integration of Malay work-character values into ship machinery practical learning at SMK Negeri 5 Tanjungpinang. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. The participants included the head of the expertise program, ship machinery practice teachers, and twelfth-grade students of the Marine Engineering program, who were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that discipline, trustworthiness, responsibility, mutual cooperation, and work ethics were contextually integrated throughout the pre-practice, practice, and post-practice stages through compliance with standard operating procedures, the use of personal protective equipment, equipment management, and collaborative activities. These findings indicate that practical learning can serve as a meaningful context for internalizing local cultural values, strengthening students’ professional character, and supporting their readiness to engage in the maritime work environment. ABSTRAK Pendidikan vokasi maritim tidak hanya dituntut menghasilkan lulusan yang menguasai keterampilan teknis, tetapi juga mampu membentuk karakter kerja yang sesuai dengan tuntutan keselamatan, tanggung jawab, disiplin, dan kerja sama. Namun, pembentukan karakter dalam pembelajaran praktik masih cenderung diposisikan sebagai unsur pendukung, sedangkan pemanfaatan nilai budaya lokal, khususnya nilai karakter kerja Melayu, belum banyak dikaji secara spesifik dalam konteks pembelajaran permesinan kapal. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis integrasi nilai-nilai karakter kerja Melayu dalam pembelajaran praktik permesinan kapal di SMK Negeri 5 Tanjungpinang. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus. Informan terdiri atas kepala program keahlian, guru praktik permesinan kapal, dan siswa kelas XII Teknika Kapal Niaga yang dipilih melalui teknik purposive sampling. Data diperoleh melalui observasi, wawancara semi-terstruktur, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model interaktif Miles, Huberman, dan Saldana melalui proses reduksi, penyajian, serta penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai disiplin, amanah, tanggung jawab, gotong royong, dan etika kerja diintegrasikan secara kontekstual pada tahap pra-praktik, pelaksanaan, hingga pasca-praktik melalui kepatuhan terhadap SOP, penggunaan APD, pengelolaan peralatan, dan kerja kelompok. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa pembelajaran praktik dapat menjadi ruang internalisasi nilai budaya lokal yang memperkuat karakter profesional siswa sekaligus mendukung kesiapan mereka menghadapi lingkungan kerja maritim.]]>
