Training Development of Teaching Factory Based on Local Wisdom in Vocational High School

Abstract

The teaching factory (TEFA) and techno-park programs are an effort to improve learning in schools. Therefore, they can be commensurate with the situation in the industry, both in terms of study time, product standards, and work environment. The production-based learning process to produce products that are worth selling. Products are planned to follow the local potential of the local area and are equivalent to products from the industry. The government launched the teaching factory program, but not all vocational schools carry out teaching factory learning; for various reasons, there are many obstacles. The obstacles experienced by SMKN/S are different. The obstacles faced by schools are a lack of understanding about the teaching factory. The understanding of teaching factory management is minimal, such as management, production processes, lab workshops, product planning, and marketing. Schools that implement teaching factories are still minimal. There are even schools that carry out teaching factories only once. With this background, training is needed. The research objectives are 1) To describe the training of teaching factory development at SMKN/S Regency, 2) To plan products from local potentials 3) To describe the management of potential products as learning outcomes that can be sold. The research sample is vocational school teachers in East Java. Methods of data collection using a questionnaire. Data analysis using the description. The results showed: the teaching factory development training was carried out optimally, the participants were very enthusiastic, and attendance was 100%, the material was well absorbed. The planned product does not refer to local products. The curriculum and previous products still dominate the product. Management of potential products requires the involvement of industry, local government policies, and local communities.

Technoparks as Catalyst for Sustainable Future Innovative Ecosystem in Vocational Schools

“…Within the Technopark framework, a Center of Excellence becomes more than an isolated initiative; it becomes a dynamic nucleus embedded within an ecosystem designed to foster collaboration, research, and continuous development (Nurlaela et al, 2022). This is a dynamic basis for continuous cooperation, research and development.…”
