Abstract

This study shows the background that occurs between industry and vocational schools. The purpose of this study is to uncover the problems that occur in bilateral relations between vocational and industrial secondary education institutions for work-based learning models that have existed before. The method used in this study is a separate analysis by researchers with qualitative methods. The results found factors that inhibit learning do not run effectively because the industry in providing information about the latest technology used by the company is not distributed evenly so that the facilities available in each school are different, the character of student work is not in accordance with the mental needs of the industry, the lack of monitoring of the implementation of the Moment of Understanding that is overseen by a clear legal body / institution, the duration of time given is less effective in the industry because time constraints make students unable to apply the many theories obtained at school.

Abstract

The primary purpose of this study was to examine the quality assurance practice of public TVET institutions in Khartoum State and its challenges and prospects. To this end, the study used an explanatory sequential mixed method design. The researcher chooses 285 teachers and 491 students from 12 TVET institutions to complete the study questionnaire using stratified and simple random sampling. Descriptive (mean scores, standard deviation) and inferential statistics used to analyze quantitative data (two-sample t-test, multiple regression analysis). Also, the researcher interviewed all of the selected TVET institution managers, technical education directors, and SCVTA for qualitative data. Besides, six teachers and nine students participated in a focus group discussion, accompanied by an observational checklist for the quantity and quality of selected input resources. Documentary analyses for TVET policy documents were also used. According to the study's findings, the amount of materials and services available at Khartoum state TVET institutions is insufficient. In TVET institutions, the input quality was poor. Students had high expectations and perceptions of TVET.  It was suggested that the authorities: formulate specific policies and plans for TVET, allocate the appropriate budget, and monitor the plan's implementation; form a collaboration between industry and TVET to help students and compensate for training deficiencies, and pay more attention to teacher training and motivation by meeting their needs.

Abstract

Tertiary learning institutions are under immense pressure to evolve within the realms of the fourth industrial revolution. The flipped classroom model externalizes in-class traditional learning and internalizes outside class activities in an attempt to move students from lower order cognitive skills to higher order cognitive skills. Training institutions are anticipated to minimize learning costs in the face of increasing enrollments. The broad aim of the study was to establish whether a flipped pedagogy would enhance performance and improve students’ perceptions over the conventional classroom pedagogy. To examine the impact of a flipped learning model, an experiment was conducted on two classes studying fundamentals of electrical engineering course. The participants were 64 pure electrical engineering students sampled from a population of 156 first year electrical engineering students. 32 students were assigned to the experimental group which was exposed to both the flipped classroom model and traditional classroom model. The remaining 32 were solely exposed to the traditional classroom pedagogy. Evaluation survey was administered on both the flipped and traditional cohort. Although students revealed positive perceptions of the flipped classroom model, empirically, there was no significant differences in academic achievements of students taught using either instructional approach. 83.87% of the flipped students were better off with a conflated instructional pedagogy as canvassed through the questionnaire survey. Educational practitioners ought to move up with the fourth industrial revolution demands by adopting a blended instructional approach.

Abstract

The essence and types of workplace adaptation as a choice of professional activities performed by vocational high school graduates are more closely related to the school learning system and employability skills. Researchers conducted a systematic literature review to investigate various sources of information on vocational high school graduates' workplace adaptation. A high degree of initial knowledge and skills, an interest in new organizations and professions, and, in the long run, possessing the appropriate character qualities and psychological qualities impact the effectiveness of workplace adaptation. The success of workplace adaptation is determined by a high level of initial knowledge and skills, an interest in new organizations and jobs, and, in the future, having the necessary character traits and psychological characteristics. Timely assistance from colleagues, supervisors, and managers, as well as the ability to anticipate difficulties and respond to situations promptly. The adaptation of the workplace for vocational high school graduates is strongly intertwined with the implementation of the stages and roles of student vocational career guidance. The authors focus on the creation of a framework that vocational high school graduates can use to prepare them for the workplace, beginning with the preparation, search, evaluation, negotiation, and ending with starting and improving jobs as a source of income. This framework is strengthened by increasing skills, specifically soft skills as the fundamental skills required by job seekers.

Abstract

Research on eleven participants who work as teachers of the Geomatics Engineering Dual Expertise Program spread across various provinces throughout Indonesia has provided an in-depth desciption of the adaptation process they experienced to their new competency skills. The author conducts interviews with video calls through applications on sosial media by giving several questions to participants and also asking participants to tell about the adaptation process they have experienced so that the results obtained from this interview are more in-depth. The author processes the research data by transcribing the document, compressing the facts, then coding so that the conclusion is in the form of certain themes that can be grouped. From this research, the authors have succeeded in describing the main obstacles experienced by teachers in adapting and how they can overcome these obstacles in their way. This research shows that some of the obstacles for the geomatics engineering dual expertise program teacher in adapting to this skill competency are understanding new subject matter in the competency of geomatics engineering expertise, namely Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) which are closely related to learning using software certainly. Inadequate facilities and infrastructure such as practical equipment for teaching and learning activities, lack of support from senior teachers in schools. The participants tried to overcome the obstacles they experienced with the shocking reality because they avoided teaching difficult subjects (subjects in Grade XI and XII) or tried to gain knowledge with senior teachers in school, even though not all senior teachers can provide support due to limited understanding of new material.
