The advancement of digital technology requires sufficient computational cognitive skills, particularly in high school Computer Science subjects. However, there is a gap between these demands and the current computational thinking abilities of students, which remain relatively low. This study aims to develop effective learning media to enhance the computational cognitive skills of high school students in Computer Science subjects. The research method focuses on the development of virtual reality media using the Millealab platform, accessible through Android devices. The feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness of the media were tested through validation by media experts (Millealab) and subject matter experts (Computer Science teachers from SMAN 1 Cigombong), along with trials conducted with teachers. Results from the media expert validation showed an average score of 4.44 (highly feasible), while the subject matter expert received an average score of 3.57 (feasible). The practicality test conducted by users (teachers and students) resulted in an average score of 90.97% (highly practical). The effectiveness test, based on pretests and posttests, revealed a significant improvement in the cognitive performance of students. This study concludes that the developed virtual reality media is highly feasible, very practical, effective, and significantly improves the computational cognitive skills of students, especially in the computational thinking aspect of Computer Science. The development of comprehensive virtual reality-based learning media for Computer Science offers an innovative solution to address the gap in computational thinking abilities, providing an immersive learning experience and contributing positively to the quality of education.

The advancement of technology in education requires innovative teaching methods, especially for practical subjects such as the maintenance of the Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system in Vocational High Schools. This study aims to examine the impact of a Moodle-based Learning Management System (LMS) on the competence of students in periodic maintenance of the EFI system. The research explores how the implementation of a validated LMS affects the academic performance of students. The data was collected through tests to assess learning outcomes after using the LMS. The results were analyzed in two phases: preliminary tests and data analysis. The preliminary tests showed positive results, where normality and homogeneity tests indicated that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous. The data analysis, which involved t-tests, revealed significant differences between the posttest scores of the control group and the experimental group. The t-test analysis showed a p-value of 0.00, which is less than 0.05, indicating a significant difference in posttest scores between the experimental and control groups. The n-gain test in the control group showed a value of 0.487, indicating a moderate improvement, while the n-gain test in the experimental group, which used the LMS, showed a value of 0.702, indicating a high level of improvement. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that the developed LMS has had a significant impact on the learning outcomes of students, reflecting their competence in periodic maintenance of the EFI system.

This study aims to determine the effect of the peer teaching model combined with the demonstration method on improving students’ skills in stepped turning (membubut bertingkat). The research was conducted on two groups: an experimental class using the peer teaching and demonstration approach, and a control class using conventional teaching methods. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. Data collection techniques included practical skill tests and documentation of student work. Data analysis was carried out using N-Gain scores and independent sample t-tests. The results showed that the experimental class achieved an average N-Gain of 79.02%, with most students falling into the “effective” category, while the control class reached an average of only 62.56%. The homogeneity test confirmed that the data variance was homogeneous. The t-test revealed a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of the peer teaching model with the demonstration method is significantly more effective in enhancing stepped turning skills than conventional teaching methods. This study recommends the implementation of collaborative and hands-on learning strategies in vocational technical education to improve practical competencies.

The performance of vocational high school (SMK) teachers is key to enhancing the relevance of vocational education to industry needs. However, evidence shows that high work motivation does not always directly correlate with performance achievements, necessitating a deep understanding of the underlying mechanisms. This study aims to analyze the role of job satisfaction as a mediating variable in the relationship between work motivation, organizational culture, and self-efficacy on the performance of SMK teachers. A quantitative method with a survey design was applied to 164 public SMK teachers in East Semarang District, using a proportional random sampling technique. Data were analyzed using path analysis and the Sobel test. The results reveal that: (1) work motivation does not have a direct effect on teacher performance; (2) job satisfaction acts as a full mediator between work motivation and performance; (3) organizational culture and self-efficacy have both direct and indirect effects through job satisfaction; (4) self-efficacy is the strongest predictor of teacher performance. The study concludes that job satisfaction functions as a psychological bridge that transforms motivation into actual performance. The scientific contribution of this research lies in demonstrating a full mediation model that revises the conventional understanding of the direct motivation-performance relationship, while also offering an integrative perspective on the development of vocational teacher performance through a simultaneous organizational-individual-psychological approach.

This research is motivated by the fact that the Meeting Management course in the Office Management and Business Services (MPLB) at vocational high schools (SMK) tends to be theoretical, less interactive, and has minimal practical application. This results in low student engagement, limited creativity, and suboptimal meeting practice skills. Therefore, this study aims to develop a learning medium in the form of Project-Based Learning (PjBL)-based e-LKPD (Electronic Student Worksheet) to improve student engagement, skills, and understanding of meeting management.The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE development model, which includes the stages of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The subjects were 36 12th-grade MPLB students at SMK Negeri 1 Wonosobo, two media experts, two material experts, and eight subject teachers. The research instruments included a validation sheet, a practicality questionnaire, and a pretest–posttest.The results showed that the PjBL-based e-LKPD developed was categorized as highly valid by the media and material experts. Practicality testing, based on teacher and student responses, demonstrated a practical category, as the media was easy to use, engaging, and supported project-based learning. Effectiveness testing demonstrated significant improvements in student learning outcomes, with differences in pretest and posttest scores, as well as increased student creativity and collaboration skills in planning and simulating meetings.Based on these results, it can be concluded that the Project-Based Learning-based E-LKPD product is suitable for use as an innovative learning medium that is interactive, contextual, and relevant to the needs of the workplace
