Abstract

Purpose –  This study aimed to examine the influence of pedagogical knowledge and interest in becoming a teacher on microteaching learning outcomes among Electrical Engineering Education students. Methods – This research employed a quantitative ex post facto design involving 70 students who had completed the microteaching course. The sample was determined using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires measuring pedagogical knowledge and interest in becoming a teacher, while microteaching learning outcomes were obtained from students’ academic performance records. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analysis. Findings – The results revealed that pedagogical knowledge and interest in becoming a teacher did not have a significant partial effect on microteaching learning outcomes. However, both variables simultaneously had a significant effect on learning outcomes (p < 0.05). The coefficient of determination indicated that the regression model explained only 9% of the variance in microteaching learning outcomes (R² = 0.09; Adjusted R² = 0.07), suggesting that other factors outside the model contributed more substantially to student performance. Research Implication – These findings indicate that although pedagogical knowledge and teaching career interest collectively contribute to microteaching learning outcomes, their contribution remains limited. Therefore, improving microteaching performance requires integrating pedagogical understanding with practical teaching skills, reflective practice, and structured instructional feedback. Originality – This study provides empirical evidence that pedagogical knowledge and interest in becoming a teacher have a significant simultaneous effect, but not a significant partial effect, on microteaching learning outcomes among Electrical Engineering Education students.

Abstract

Purpose - This study investigates the effectiveness of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) in enhancing vocational competencies among SMK students in the VUCA era. It applies the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to examine students’ acceptance of immersive learning technologies. Methods - A quantitative design with a pretest-posttest control group was used involving 200 SMK students from technical programs. The study employed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the effects of Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Attitude Toward Using, Behavioral Intention, and User Satisfaction. Findings - The findings show that Perceived Ease of Use significantly affects Perceived Usefulness, Attitude Toward Using, Behavioral Intention, and User Satisfaction. This confirms that ease of use is central to students’ acceptance of VR/AR. Behavioral Intention is the strongest predictor of User Satisfaction, indicating that students’ willingness to continue using VR/AR is closely linked to satisfaction. However, Perceived Usefulness does not significantly influence Attitude Toward Using, suggesting that functional value may be less decisive during early adoption. Research implications - The results highlight the need to design VR/AR learning tools that are user-friendly, engaging, and capable of encouraging continued use. Educators, developers, and policymakers should prioritize usability and behavioral intention when implementing immersive technologies in vocational education.  Originality - This study integrates TAM with immersive learning in vocational education and provides evidence on how VR/AR supports competency development and student engagement in developing contexts.

Abstract

Purpose – A supportive physical learning environment is an important component of vocational education because it enhances practical learning experiences and facilitates the development of industry-relevant competencies. This study examines how the physical learning environment contributes to students’ technical competence through the role of learning motivation. Methods – An explanatory quantitative design was employed involving 120 Heavy Equipment Engineering vocational students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS Statistics with Hayes’ PROCESS Macro Model 4. Findings – The results indicate that the physical learning environment positively influences both learning motivation and technical competence. Learning motivation was also found to function as an explanatory mechanism linking the physical learning environment to technical competence. The proposed model yielded an R² value of 0.9062, suggesting substantial explanatory power within the present sample. However, this finding should be interpreted cautiously because the analysis relied on self-reported data and did not include other contextual or individual factors that may also affect competency development. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of supportive learning conditions and student motivation in enhancing technical competence in vocational education. Research implications – Although the study was limited to Heavy Equipment Engineering students in Sorong and relied on perception-based data, the findings suggest that improving learning facilities and strengthening student motivation should be prioritized in practice-based vocational education. Originality – This study contributes to the vocational education literature by identifying learning motivation as a mechanism through which the physical learning environment influences technical competence, providing evidence from a vocational context that has received limited empirical attention.
