Abstract

Purpose – As digital disruption and global inequalities reshape the future of work, vocational education is increasingly recognized as essential for skills development and social mobility. However, the field remains marked by thematic fragmentation—between traditional foci such as curriculum and pedagogy and emerging priorities like digitalization, equity, and learner well-being—and significant geographical imbalance, with research output dominated by a few high-income countries. This study maps the intellectual and policy landscape of vocational education research (2000–2024) to clarify its alignment with urgent global challenges.Method – A total of 11,781 Scopus-indexed articles was analyzed using bibliometric tools in R, including keyword co-occurrence, thematic mapping, and international collaboration network analysis to reveal dominant clusters and neglected themes. Findings – Research in vocational education is anchored in curriculum and employability, yet digital skills, gender inclusion, and mental health remain underexplored. Publication is concentrated in Australia, the US, Germany, and China, reinforcing North–South disparities and limiting global integration. While interest in innovation is rising, persistent conceptual fragmentation still hinders policy impact. Research Implications – Policymakers should move beyond rhetoric to embed digital skills, equity, and well-being in policy and curricula. Future research needs to address underrepresented issues and regions, foster cross-country collaboration, and better translate evidence into practice. The focus on English-language, Scopus-indexed articles may exclude some regional scholarship.

Abstract

Purpose – Although inclusive education is increasingly implemented, practical insights into effective teaching strategies for supporting children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) remain limited. This study explores the lived experience of a shadow teacher in applying concrete strategies to support a child with ASD in an inclusive early childhood education setting.Method – A qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach was employed. Data were collected through a semi-structured, in-depth interview with a teacher who had over one year of experience assisting a child with ASD. The data were analyzed using descriptive phenomenological methods to capture essential themes of the teacher’s experience. Findings – The study identified key strategies such as individualized instruction, modified learning objectives, use of reward systems, and ongoing communication with parents, therapists, and school personnel. Consistency across home and school environments, supported by collaborative systems, was found to be essential. Importantly, the development of interpersonal trust between the teacher and the child emerged as a critical factor in the success of individualized strategies—a dimension often underrepresented in current literature. Research Implications – This study provides practical implications for inclusive early childhood education by highlighting the importance of relational, trust-based teaching strategies. While the focus on a single participant limits generalizability, the findings contribute valuable perspectives to teacher training and educational policy development, particularly in relation to supporting children with ASD in inclusive settings.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines the role of humanistic academic supervision in improving the quality of learning at SLB At-Turmudzi 1 Malangbong, Garut. Although inclusive education is widely discussed, most supervision models are still procedural and evaluative in nature, ignoring the reflective and emotional needs of teachers. This study aims to fill this gap by exploring how humanistic supervision supports professional growth and inclusive practices.Method – Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth observations, semi-structured interviews with the principal and ten special education teachers, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model with triangulation to ensure validity. Findings – The study found that humanistic supervision transformed teachers' attitudes from passive and anxious to open and reflective. Teachers designed differentiated lesson plans responsive to students’ cognitive and sensory needs, utilized multisensory media (such as braille cards, tactile props, and interactive audio), and conducted functional assessments. A collaborative professional culture emerged, shown through regular reflective forums and peer learning. Student engagement also improved, marked by greater participation and communication confidence, especially among students with disabilities. Research Implications – The study highlights the importance of adopting humanistic, reflective supervision models that position teachers as learning partners. Such approaches can strengthen inclusive practices and improve learning quality in special education contexts, offering a transformative alternative to conventional evaluative models.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to adapt the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS) into Indonesian language to suit the context of vocational high school (SMK) students in Indonesia. The purpose is to develop a reliable and valid instrument for assessing students’ career readiness, considering the linguistic and cultural characteristics of the local educational setting.Method – The adaptation process followed established guidelines, involving translation, expert validation, and field testing with 276 students from grades XI and XII in SMK Ponorogo. Content validity was assessed using Aiken’s V index, while construct validity was evaluated through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) using JASP software. Internal consistency was examined using Cronbach’s Alpha. Findings – The results showed that 21 out of 24 items had Aiken’s V values ? 0.60, indicating good content validity. EFA revealed a new three-factor structure Concern, Curiosity, and a merged Control/Confidence factor which differed from the original four-factor model. The adapted instrument demonstrated high internal consistency with a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.895. These findings suggest that the Indonesian version of CAAS is a valid and reliable tool for measuring career adaptability among SMK students. Research Implications – The factor structure shift highlights contextual differences that should be considered in instrument adaptation. This study was limited to students from one district (Ponorogo), so broader sampling across different regions and school types is recommended to enhance generalizability. Further studies using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) are also encouraged to verify the factor stability of the Indonesian CAAS version and to explore its predictive validity related to students’ employability outcomes.

Abstract

Purpose – This study investigates the influence of teacher communication style, reward provision, and the implementation of ice breaking activities on students’ motivation in learning economics. The research was motivated by the observed low enthusiasm and engagement of students during economics lessons at SMA N 1 Balapulang.Method – The research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational associative survey design. Data were collected through a validated questionnaire comprising 60 Likert-scale items, administered to a sample of 40 grade XI students selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Additional data were obtained from observation and documentation. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, simple linear regression, and multiple linear regression with the aid of SPSS version 26. Findings – The results indicate that teacher communication style and ice breaking activities significantly and positively affect students’ learning motivation, while reward provision shows no significant effect. Simultaneously, the three variables contribute significantly, explaining 33.8% of the variance in learning motivation. Teacher communication style was found to have the strongest relative influence, followed by ice breaking, whereas rewards had a weak and non-significant contribution. Research Implications – These findings highlight the importance of interpersonal communication and engaging classroom dynamics in enhancing students’ learning motivation, particularly in subjects often considered less appealing such as economics. Teachers are encouraged to strengthen their communication skills and incorporate creative ice breaking strategies, while the use of rewards should be reconsidered to align better with students’ needs and perceptions. Future studies may expand the scope by including intrinsic motivation factors, family environment, or technology-based learning methods.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an Arabic language camp in improving the Arabic speaking skills of students at MTsN 4 Malang, particularly in the Religious Program. The camp was conducted intensively over 8 instructional hours in 2 days using an interactive and immersive Arabic learning approach.Method – This study employed a quantitative approach using a Pre-Experimental Design one-group pretest–posttest design involving 30 student participants. An oral speaking test based on dialogue model was administered before and after the program. Due to non-normal data distribution, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to assess statistical significance, followed by a normalized gain (N-Gain) analysis to measure learning improvement. Findings – The results showed an increase in the average score from 42 in the pretest to 78 in the posttest. The Wilcoxon test produced a significance value of p < .001 (?= .05), indicating a statistically significant improvement in students' Arabic speaking skills. The minimum N-Gain score was 0.30, the maximum was 1.00, and the average was 0.63, which is classified as moderate, suggesting the camp was moderately effective. Research Implications – This study suggests that short-term, intensive Arabic immersion programs can serve as engaging and effective alternatives for enhancing speaking skills in religious educational settings. The study’s limitations include the short intervention duration, the limited and homogeneous sample, and a sole focus on cognitive outcomes. Future research should involve more diverse participants, extended timeframes, and incorporate additional skills, as well as affective and psychomotor aspects, to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the camp’s impact on Arabic-speaking proficiency.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to develop a valid and reliable instrument to measure the religious literacy of prospective teachers in the Society 5.0 era. Religious literacy is a crucial aspect that prospective teachers must possess to face the challenges of 21st-century education and serve as role models for students.Method – This study employed a development model with FGDs involving 7 experts to validate the instrument. The 25-item instrument covers five dimensions: religious knowledge, digital literacy use, digital learning skills, attitudes and values, and digital ethics. It was tested on 172 Islamic Education teacher candidates from various LPTKs, with data analyzed using EFA and CFA. Despite using a Likert scale, ML estimation was applied, as commonly done when scales have five or more categories. Findings – The analysis results showed that the instrument had good construct validity and high reliability (? = 0.915). The instrument developed in this study initially consisted of 34 items, which were then reduced to 25 items based on the results of a review by 9 experts using the Aiken Formula. Research Implications – This instrument acts as a competency map to guide educational institutions in developing more focused and contextual digital religious literacy programs. Thus, integrating digital religious literacy into the curriculum and academic culture is essential to prepare Islamic Education teachers who are both professional and exemplary in promoting moderate, wise, and relevant religious values in the digital era.
