Abstract

Indonesian Language is playing a crucial role as a unifying tool and the official language for government communications as stated at Article 36 of the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia. However, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) designates six official languages: French, English, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, and Chinese, to facilitate communication among its 193 member states. This study employs a qualitative design, utilizing document analysis and interviews to explore the potential strategies for improving English language proficiency in the aviation sector. The results indicate that to enhance English proficiency among aviation personnel in Indonesia, tailored ESP Programs, simulation-based training, regular assessments, and blended learning approaches should be implemented. Collaborations with international organizations and support from the government will further ensure alignment with ICAO standards, fostering effective communication in critical situations. The discussion highlights the importance of English proficiency at Indonesian airports for providing directions and services, in compliance with Indonesia's ratification of ICAO's six languages. This study recommends some potential strategies to strengthening English language education in Indonesia's aviation sector to support effective international communication and enhance service quality at airports, aligning with ICAO standards.

Abstract

This study examines community perceptions and levels of interest in the establishment of a state polytechnic in the West-South Aceh region, particularly following the collaborative initiative of D4 programs by Akademi Komunitas Negeri Aceh Barat (AKN Aceh Barat) and Politeknik Negeri Lhokseumawe (PNL). Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, data were collected through an online survey completed by 242 respondents. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, and one-way ANOVA were applied to assess perceptions across three key indicators: the urgency of establishing a polytechnic, personal interest in attending, and family interest in polytechnic education. Results indicate overwhelming support across demographic groups, with over 93% consider the establishment urgent, and more than 84% expressed personal or familial interest. Although men showed significantly higher personal interest than women, no significant differences were observed by region or education level. Community preferences for mining, maritime, and informatics programs demonstrate a clear connection to the region’s workforce demands and industrial profile. These findings provide strong empirical support for upgrading AKN Aceh Barat into a state polytechnic, addressing both educational and regional workforce development needs.

Abstract

Rapid technological advancements have transformed many aspects of education, including the vocational learning environment. Teachers in vocational schools are expected to master digital skills to support the learning process and meet the demands of the evolving workforce. However, the digital competence of vocational educators remains uneven and often underdeveloped in many regions. This study aims to systematically review current research on teachers’ digital competence in vocational education. The study focuses on identifying key themes, trends, and challenges discussed in the current literature to provide a clearer understanding of the field. The method used in this study is a Systematic Literature Review. A total of 1,250 articles were identified through database searches and manual references. After removing duplicates and irrelevant studies, 10 articles were selected for in-depth analysis. The selection process followed the PRISMA framework to ensure transparency and reliability. The study findings revealed that vocational teachers are increasingly aware of the need to develop digital skills. However, many still struggle due to limited access to digital devices, lack of training opportunities, and low institutional support. The most frequently emphasized competencies include digital pedagogy, the ability to use educational technology, and the ability to create digital learning content. In conclusion, improving digital competence among vocational teachers requires more than individual efforts. Strong institutional support, regular training programs, and stronger links between schools and industry are needed.

Abstract

This study examines the employment acceptance gap between SMK (vocational high school) and S1 (university) graduates across industrial sectors in Indonesia. BPS data shows that the open unemployment rate for SMK graduates is higher than that of S1 graduates, even though SMK is designed to produce job-ready workers. This mixed-method study uses secondary data from BPS and the Ministry of Manpower, as well as semi-structured interviews with five HRD practitioners from manufacturing, services, logistics, retail, and technology sectors. The findings indicate that the gap is caused by skills mismatch, low soft skills among SMK graduates, and limited industry linkages. In contrast, S1 graduates are considered more adaptable in cognitive and communication skills, although not always in technical skills. The study highlights the need for vocational education reform, including curriculum improvement, industry-based competency certification, and stronger collaboration between government, schools, and industries to improve SMK graduates’ employability and reduce the unemployment gap.

Abstract

This systematic literature review examines the evolution and effectiveness of authentic assessment practices in vocational education, with a particular focus on automotive engineering programs from 2015 to 2024. Using the PRISMA protocol, we analyzed 17 studies to identify critical success factors, challenges in implementation, and the impact of authentic assessment on both technical competencies and soft skills development. Our analysis reveals three key findings: (1) institutions that adopted comprehensive, authentic assessment frameworks achieved significant improvements in both technical competencies (35% increase) and soft skills development (28% increase); (2) successful implementation was strongly correlated with three critical factors: structured stakeholder engagement (85% effectiveness), technology integration (78% success rate), and robust quality assurance mechanisms (92% implementation rate); and (3) assessment practices evolved from basic frameworks to sophisticated, technology-integrated systems, with implementation success rates improving from 45% to 90% over the studied period. These findings provide practical guidance for vocational institutions by presenting a comprehensive framework that integrates technological innovation with pedagogical best practices while aligning closely with industry needs. The study emphasizes the importance of authentic assessment in preparing students for modern workplace demands, especially in integrating both technical and soft skills. This research advances the theoretical understanding of authentic assessment in vocational education, highlighting its role in enhancing student outcomes and fostering industry alignment.

Abstract

The research fills a gap, in which we find that conventional technology adoption models such as TAM and UTAUT are not predicting vocational workers acceptance behaviour well (40-60%) and no prior work has extended these theories to be adapted generic model for skills worker. Methods: Sequential explanatory mixed-method design consisting of systematic literature review (301 studies), quantitative survey (n = 618 vocational workers in five Indonesian cities) and qualitative focus groups (n = 86). The model was also confirmed by means of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the software AMOS 26.0. IFAM has a prediction accuracy of 84.5%, which is much higher than that in TAM (55%) and UTAUT (62%). Personal characteristics are found to be the strongest predictor of adoption (γ=0.684) with digital literacy emerging as its significant dimension (β=0.845). There is a significant mediator effect of User quality (β=0.745), and it has been cascading to the individual (β=0.682.), organizational (0.624)., process(β=0.594) and technology dimension((β=0.568). The model indicates acceptable validity indices (χ2/ df= 2.842, RMSEA =0.054; CFI =0.962; GFI = 0.924). to the best of our knowledge, his model is one of the only theoretically-based adoption model that has been empirically validated and included both vocational learning theories and technology acceptance models. The two-stage mediating process, synthesis of types of resistance and the hierarchical pathway effect are original theoretical contributions. The instructions in the VOCTECH-ADAPT model provide a well-defined path for implementers on how they should work when engaging with digital FI projects.

Abstract

Teaching advertising writing in vocational high schools continues to face a gap between students’ linguistic knowledge and the expectations of professional practice. Although students often understand textual structures, they frequently struggle to produce persuasive advertising texts that are contextually appropriate and aligned with creative industry standards. This study aims to develop and examine the effectiveness of a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model grounded in constructivist principles for advertising writing instruction in vocational education. A Research and Development approach using the ADDIE framework was employed and implemented through limited and extensive trials involving intact vocational classes functioning as experimental and comparison groups. Data were collected through writing performance tests, multimodal product assessment, classroom observations, student questionnaires, and qualitative feedback from industry practitioners acting as guest teachers. Quantitative analysis using paired and independent sample statistical tests indicates a significant improvement in students’ advertising writing performance after the model revision, particularly in message clarity, copywriting effectiveness, and coherence between textual and visual elements. Qualitative findings further reveal increased student learning independence, reflected in greater initiative during planning, revision, and decision-making processes. Industry practitioners’ feedback also contributed to aligning student work with professional communication standards. These findings suggest that the revised PjBL model is effective in supporting advertising writing as a multimodal vocational competence and illustrate how constructivist project-based instruction can bridge classroom learning with professional communication practices.
