Abstract

This study aims to reveal how symbolic interaction between principals and teachers is interpreted as a social strategy in improving the employability of vocational high school students, especially in the Mechanical Engineering Expertise Competence. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research population was conducted at the Center of Excellence Vocational High Schools in Pasuruan Regency/City, while the sample was 4 vocational high schools that have mechanical engineering expertise competencies. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies. The results of the study indicate that the symbolic interaction that occurs is not only verbal communication, but also reflects shared values, expectations, and visions in preparing graduates who are adaptive to the world of work. The principal builds meaning through symbols of consistent leadership actions, such as involving teachers in strategic decision-making and instilling an industrial work culture. Teachers, on the other hand, respond to these symbols with more contextual and work-oriented learning practices. This interaction forms a productive school habitus that is the basis for improving student employability

Abstract

This study aims to obtain the validity of E-LAPD using the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model that can be used to improve science literacy on chemical equilibrium material. The design used is a 4-D model designed to improve students' science literacy skills. The valid E-LAPD was evaluated through a validation sheet filled in by the validator using a Likert scale. Validity consists of construct validity which includes presentation components, graphic components, suitability of models and indicators to be improved and content validation which includes the suitability of learning objectives with learning outcomes and the suitability of problems or phenomena with the material being taught. The validity of E-LAPD is declared valid if the score from the validator is at least 4 and does not have one score < 3 from the validator. The results showed that the E-LAPD developed had high validity indicating that the mode score of the validator ≥ 4. The developed E-LAPD was declared valid for use with a construct and content validation assessment which was described as valid with a score of 4, thus E-LAPD using the PBL model was declared valid for use to improve science literacy in chemical equilibrium material.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of higher education training on labor market demand in Africa, using a documentation study approach. In an ever-evolving global context, higher education plays an important role in preparing individuals to face the demands of a dynamic labor market. However, in many African countries, there is a gap between the skills provided by higher education institutions and the needs of the labor market. Through documentation studies, this study collects and analyzes secondary data originating from various government reports, international institutions, and previous studies regarding the relationship between higher education and labor demand in Africa. The findings show that although higher education in Africa can improve the quality of human capital, there is a mismatch between the skills taught and the skills required by the industrial sector. This study also identified key challenges, such as a lack of relevant curriculum and limited educational facilities, that impact the effectiveness of training in meeting labor market needs. Therefore, this study recommends curriculum reform that is more adaptive to industry needs and increased collaboration between educational institutions and the private sector to create more relevant and quality training programs

Abstract

This research discusses the application of Augmented Reality (AR) technology in teaching traditional dance as a means of increasing the cultural literacy of junior high school students. The research aims to overcome the lack of students' understanding of traditional dance due to the lack of direct interaction with these cultural practices. The research method used a qualitative case study approach. The case study was chosen because it allows researchers to intensively explore the dynamics of learning in a limited context, namely at SMPN 13 Jakarta, and produce a comprehensive understanding of the role of AR technology in building cultural literacy. The results showed that the use of AR in traditional dance learning significantly increased students' interest, participation, and understanding of the cultural values contained in dance. In conclusion, the integration of AR technology in cultural arts learning provides a new alternative in shaping learning that is more contextual, collaborative, and oriented towards strengthening character and local cultural values. This research recommends expanding the use of AR media not only in dance, but also in other cultural arts fields such as music, visual arts, and theater.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of music education at Purwa Caraka Music Studio (PCMS) Kemang Pratama in enhancing students' self-confidence and achievement. The process of self-actualization in each individual requires a strong sense of confidence, which in turn encourages them to take on new challenges and strive for greater accomplishments in the future. This research employs a qualitative approach, with interviews used as the primary data collection method. The informants in this study consist of three individuals, comprising both teachers and students at PCMS Kemang Pratama. The findings reveal that musical activities which allow students the freedom to choose roles or instruments they are genuinely interested in have a significantly positive impact. Students are more motivated to develop their full potential, which often leads to a consistent record of achievement throughout their learning journey. Moreover, these achievements in turn serve as a powerful reinforcement for their self-confidence. Furthermore, the programs at PCMS Kemang Pratama-particularly those that offer students opportunities to perform on stage based on their interests and talents-have proven effective in fostering a strong sense of confidence. The structured yet flexible learning environment provided by the studio enables students to express themselves authentically while building performance skills and resilience.

Abstract

Academic motivation in mathematics remains a critical factor influencing student engagement and performance. This study examined the mediating effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between goal setting and academic motivation among college students. Using mediation analysis, 100 participants were selected through stratified random sampling. Results indicated that self-efficacy partially mediates the relationship, but goal setting unexpectedly had a negative effect on self-efficacy, suggesting that specific goal-setting strategies may introduce pressure or unrealistic expectations. This finding challenges the assumption that goal setting always enhances confidence and motivation. Future research may explore alternative mediating factors and variations in goal-setting strategies. Additionally, educational interventions should integrate self-efficacy-enhancing techniques such as mastery experiences and peer support to maximize student motivation and achievement in mathematics.
