Abstract

Continuous Professional Development (CPD) for TVET teachers improves the quality of vocational education and ensures relevance to industry advances. This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of CPD research trends for TVET teachers over the last ten years (2013-2023), with particular attention to how different CPD models impact classroom effectiveness. Using the PRISMA procedure, article searches were performed in the Scopus database, yielding 48 publications suitable for further study. Despite a large increase in CPD publications, research in developing countries remains scarce, with significant disparities in implementation approaches between developed and developing educational systems. Qualitative approaches dominate methodologically, with apprenticeships, education, and training emerging as primary topics. However, the review reveals limited research on measuring the direct impact of CPD on teacher performance and student outcomes across different educational contexts. These findings point to the need for more integrated, locally based CPD strategies with stronger industry partnerships to enhance the effectiveness and relevance of professional development for TVET teachers. The study provides a foundation for policymakers and researchers seeking to develop context-specific CPD frameworks that balance theoretical knowledge with practical teaching improvements in technical and vocational education.

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) concept focuses on poverty eradication, gender equality, reducing child mortality, and environmental protection. Education plays a central role in achieving these goals, by providing quality and inclusive learning opportunities for all, including non-traditional groups and people with disabilities. In this context, quality vocational education aims to develop skills relevant to global issues, such as digitalization and renewable energy, and shape awareness of social change, the environment and sustainable development. Sustainable curricula, which integrate local potential, are an important part of supporting sustainable development. This study aims to analyze trends, roles, and research developments in vocational education related to local potential-based sustainable curriculum through a bibliometric approach. Data was collected using keywords related to sustainable curriculum and local potential, which resulted in 594 documents from 1972 to 2025. The study also identified publication trends and the most productive countries in local potential-based sustainable curriculum research, as well as dominant authors and keywords. Results show a significant increase in publications since 2004, although there was a decline in the period 2020-2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The research also shows the importance of sustainable curriculum in facing global education challenges, with a focus on the relevance of education policy to social and global change

Abstract

Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) has become essential in vocational education for bridging academic learning with workplace experience. This systematic review analyzes 61 articles on WIL frameworks published between 2019-2024 using the PRISMA protocol. The analysis identifies five main types of WIL frameworks: Competency-Based Framework (focusing on industry-relevant competencies), Integrated Evaluation Framework (emphasizing comprehensive assessment), Industry-Academic Collaborative Framework (developing effective institutional-industry partnerships), Technology-Enhanced WIL Framework (utilizing technology to expand learning experiences), and Field-Specific Pedagogical Framework (tailoring approaches to specific disciplines). Publication trends show significant growth in WIL framework research, with a peak of 17 articles in 2024, reflecting increasing recognition of work-based learning's importance. The review reveals several research gaps, including limited investigation of technology integration's long-term impact, need for multi-stakeholder evaluation approaches, frameworks that effectively combine various WIL modalities, limited understanding of cross-disciplinary framework transferability, and frameworks that systematically incorporate evolving workforce demands. These findings provide direction for future WIL framework development and implementation, Contributing to more effective integration of academic learning with practical work experience in vocational education, these findings provide valuable direction for the future development and implementation of Work-Integrated Learning frameworks.

Abstract

In the age of digital transformation, digital competence has become crucial for vocational educators to effectively align learning practices with the changing demands of the industry. This study aims to analyze the global development and thematic trends surrounding digital competence in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) through a combined approach of bibliometric analysis and a systematic literature review, referred to as Systematic Literature Network Analysis (SLNA). Utilizing Scopus as the primary database, the research retrieved 216 articles and employed bibliometric visualization tools (Bibliometrix, Biblioshiny, VOSviewer) alongside eligibility criteria-based screening for the systematic review. The results reveal three key insights: (1) significant connections between digital competence and the advancement of AI in vocational education, (2) the emerging importance of interaction and social competence in enhancing digital literacy, and (3) the limited yet essential integration of AI literacy within current digital competence frameworks. Two selected articles from the systematic literature review suggest that the combination of digital and social competencies is vital for preparing vocational teachers and students for the demands of a technology-driven workforce. This study underscores the necessity for a forward-looking digital competence framework that addresses the interplay between digital skills, social skills, and AI readiness within vocational education contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the implementation of the philosophical values of two influential figures, Dewey and Prosser, in the organization of vocational education in Indonesia. The research subjects consisted of 86 vocational school principals from Java Island, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire with a Likert Scale to assess the respondents' perceptions of the indicators of philosophical values implemented in schools. The data were analyzed using a quantitative method to present the underlying meanings and values of vocational education practices from the perspective of the two philosophers. The study's findings indicate that vocational education in Indonesia has incorporated many of Dewey's pragmatic philosophical values. However, its implementation has not yet been effective, particularly in relation to the values associated with the principles of learning by doing and experience-based skills. Similarly, the values of Prosser's philosophy, which emphasize the relationship between theory and practice, face challenges due to limited funding and a lack of investment in practical tools that meet industry standards. Nevertheless, vocational education holds significant potential for development if stakeholders can bridge the gap between theory and practice in the industrial world.

Abstract

The Teaching Factory (TeFa), as an integral component of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) framework in Indonesian Vocational High Schools (SMK), has emerged as a crucial technique to align educational outcomes with industrial requirements.  Students receive training in technical skills as well as entrepreneurial and manufacturing processes through practical production activities.  This integration presents a policy issue when TeFa goods enter the market and confront industry standards and consumer protection legislation.  This study investigates three primary inquiries: (1) to what degree do TVET Factory products manufactured by SMKs in Indonesia adhere to relevant industry standards; (2) is the existing legal framework sufficient to ensure consumer protection concerning TeFa products; and (3) how should forthcoming policies and regulations be formulated to harmonize consumer protection with industry development goals in the execution of the TVET Factory program.  The research used a qualitative methodology, incorporating case studies from five vocational schools across diverse domains of expertise, augmented by interviews with stakeholders including educators, industry partners, and regulatory bodies.  The findings indicate that the compliance of TeFa products with industry standards remains inconsistent, and current rules do not specifically address items based on vocational education.  This generates legal uncertainty and impediments in product down streaming.  Consequently, a novel, adaptable policy framework is required to safeguard consumers while promoting industry expansion through the synergy of TVET and market laws.

Abstract

Speaking is often perceived as one of the most challenging skills in learning English, including among Grade X Broadcasting students at a vocational high school in Yogyakarta. To address this issue, a Classroom Action Research (CAR) was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the One Minute Sharing (OMS) technique in enhancing students’ speaking ability. The OMS technique requires students to speak spontaneously for one minute on selected topics, and in this study, it was implemented over two research cycles. Initial observations and a pre-test revealed low speaking proficiency, with an average score of 63 and only 15% of students meeting the Minimum Mastery Criterion (SKM). Furthermore, many students lacked confidence, and only one-third demonstrated strong motivation. In Cycle I, the average speaking score increased to 70, with 63% of students achieving SKM, and motivation levels rising to 60%, although some hesitation persisted. In Cycle II, improvements were made by incorporating more engaging activities, providing direct modelling and feedback, and offering small rewards as appreciation. These refinements resulted in an average score of 80, with 86% of students meeting SKM and an equal percentage reporting greater motivation and confidence in speaking English. The findings indicate that providing regular, individual speaking opportunities through OMS can substantially improve speaking ability, enhance motivation and self-confidence, and foster better classroom engagement. Therefore, the OMS technique can be considered an effective and practical instructional strategy for promoting autonomous speaking practice, particularly in vocational high school contexts.
