The Influence of Project-Based Learning Models on the Activities and Learning Outcomes of Vocational Students in Informatics Subjects

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes in Informatics at a vocational high school. The research was motivated by the low initial understanding and passive learning behavior among students, which often leads to suboptimal academic achievement. The objective was to determine whether the PjBL approach could significantly improve both student activity and performance. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group was employed, involving 51 Grade X students from SMKN 1 Painan, divided into an experimental group (PjBL) and a control group (conventional teaching). Data were collected through tests, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed a significant increase in the experimental group’s posttest scores (mean = 78.04; N-Gain = 0.56) compared to the control group (mean = 64.56; N-Gain = 0.28). Student activity also improved across three meetings. Statistical tests confirmed the differences were significant (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that PjBL is more effective than traditional methods in promoting academic success and active learning in vocational educatio

Analysis of Numeracy Literacy Skills in Terms of Self-Efficacy on Flat Shape Material for MTs Students

Based on interviews with the mathematics teacher at MTs Negeri 1 Demak, it was found that students have difficulty translating word problems into mathematical form. This indicates that they have not yet achieved the first indicator of numeracy literacy. The teacher also observed that students’ self-efficacy affects their participation in learning, although it does not always align with their understanding of the material. This study aims to describe the numeracy literacy skills of eighth-grade students at MTs Negeri 1 Demak based on their level of self-efficacy, particularly on the topic of plane geometry. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with six purposively selected subjects out of 32 students, representing high and moderate self-efficacy categories. Data were collected through numeracy literacy tests in the form of word problems, self-efficacy questionnaires, and in-depth interviews. The data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with method triangulation to ensure data validity. The results show that students with high self-efficacy tend to have better numeracy literacy skills, especially in formulating situations into mathematical models, using appropriate procedures, and evaluating results in context. However, there were also students with high self-efficacy who had low numeracy literacy skills, indicating that confidence does not always correspond to mastery of concepts and procedures. Conversely, students with moderate self-efficacy but high numeracy skills performed well cognitively, although they still showed hesitation in answering questions. These findings highlight the importance of integrating self-efficacy development with conceptual reinforcement in mathematics learning. Stable self-efficacy can encourage students to be more confident, but it must be accompanied by adequate conceptual understanding and contextual practice to improve overall numeracy literacy quality.Analisis Kemampuan Literasi Numerasi Ditinjau dari Self-Efficacy Pada Materi Bangun Datar Siswa MTsABSTRAKBerdasarkan hasil wawancara dengan guru matematika MTs Negeri 1 Demak, ditemukan bahwa siswa mengalami kesulitan dalam mengubah soal cerita ke dalam bentuk matematika.

Factors Influencing Work Readiness and Student Satisfaction in Technical Education: A Systematic Review of Industry Collaboration, Certification, and Academic Engagement

This study systematically examines the factors that affect students' job readiness and satisfaction in engineering education through a comprehensive analysis of industry support, certification programs, and academic engagement. The Industrial Revolution 4.0 era has created a significant skills gap between graduate competencies and industry needs, demanding innovative approaches in the preparation of work-ready graduates. Through the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) which follows PRISMA's guidelines for articles obtained from the ScienceDirect database during the period 2017-2024, this study integrates evidence from multiple theoretical frameworks including experiential learning theory, social cognitive theory, and human capital theory. Of the 800 articles identified through ScienceDirect's database search, after going through a rigorous PRISMA selection process with quality assessment using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT), 185 high-quality articles were successfully selected and analyzed in depth. Key findings show a significant positive relationship between industry-university collaboration, the implementation of professional certification programs, and active academic involvement to improving job readiness and student satisfaction. The analysis revealed that the implementation of industrial internship programs (94% effectiveness, satisfaction score 4.6/5.0), industry-specific competency certification (satisfaction rating 4.4/5.0), and extracurricular activities such as capstone projects and engineering competitions can significantly increase employability. Nonetheless, systemic challenges such as curriculum gaps with industry needs (identified in 68.1% of studies), limited faculty experience in industry (53% of studies), and infrastructure limitations (47% of studies) remain structural barriers that require comprehensive solutions. This research provides an evidence-based framework for transforming technical education toward more industry-relevant, student-centered approaches and provides actionable recommendations for educational practitioners, policymakers, and industry partners
