A new learning paradigm is needed by Vocational High Schools (SMK) to adapt vocational learning to the needs of the world of work in the era of industrial revolution 4.0. Changes in the structure of employment patterns due to the loss of existing jobs and the emergence of new job opportunities required the need to strengthen vocational schools as education for occupation and also as education for career development. Especially in mechatronics engineering vocational high school, which was closely related to industrial technology 4.0. This study aims to produce a mobile-based application to support the integration of vocational learning and career learning activities in mechatronic engineering vocational high schools. Product development used the research and development methods with the development stages was adapting the Holistic 4D model, namely the Define, Design, and Develop stages. Data was collected using observation sheets and questionnaires that had been validated by experts. The data analysis method used is quantitative data analysis. The results of expert reviews and operational trials showed that the learning media application developed was in the very feasible category with an average assessment score of 3.55. This result showed that the mobile-based application developed was feasible and can be used for the career development of vocational students with mechatronic engineering competence. Mobile-based application developed can be used to facilitate learner-centred projects, such as self-directed learning, collaborative learning, and project management.
Vocational teachers need effective and interactive classroom management during online learning. This study aims to describe the concept of training, measure the perception of vocational teachers, and measure effectiveness during training and coaching of vocational teachers in online learning using project-based learning (O-PJBL). This study applies a combined evaluative method with the Plan-DO-Check-Evaluation (PDCA) stage to explore the concept of training and coaching, then test the perception and effectiveness of applying the quasi-experimental method. A total of 70 vocational teachers were involved in the study. Data were collected using observation sheets, online questionnaires with a scale of 1-4, and pretest-posttest questions. The data were analyzed based on the activities of vocational teachers and inferential statistical analysis. The results of the research are (1) the implementation of vocational teacher training and development with the PDCE approach resulting in project-based online learning based on the characteristics of the subject; (2) the perception of vocational teachers on aspects of content relevance, content suitability, presentation quality, content mastery, and time allocation is very good with a significance value based on gender is 0.892, employment status is 0.456, and age range is 0.142; and (3) there was a positive increase in the understanding of the material and the quality of learning tools. The quality of future vocational learning is determined by teachers who are up to date with changes.
The objective of this study is to develop a mobile career learning model for electronics engineering vocational high school and reveal the feasibility of the developed mobile career learning model to develop electronics engineering vocational student's competencies. This research utilized research and development method that refers to the Holistic 4D model, includes four stages of development: define, design, develop and deploy with three levels of holistic design and an interactive cycle, namely analysis, design, and evaluation. The define stage includes the performance analysis observations and instructional needs assessment. The design stage includes the design evaluation stage which involves expert with the background of lecturers, principals, teachers, career experts, software experts and successful alumni. The develop stage involves a review of material experts and media experts as well as a limited trial involving students and teachers of electronics engineering vocational high school. The data collection used observation sheets and questionnaires that have been validated by experts. The data analysis used the descriptive method. The results of the study are as follows. (1) The developed mobile career learning model integrates vocational learning activities and career guidance by utilizing information technology in the form of mobile career learning media applications. (2) The developed mobile career learning model is feasible and can be used for career development of students with electronics engineering competence.
