IMPLEMENTATION OF TEACHING FACTORY IN GRADE XI BUSINESS ENGINEERING AND MOTORCYCLES AT STATE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL 1 KUALA KURUN

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Teaching Factory (TEFA) model implementation at SMK Negeri 1 Kuala Kurun, specifically in the Business Engineering and Motorcycle (TBSM) program. Using a sequential explanatory design research method, the analysis reveals the complexities involved in implementing TEFA, which encompasses various factors influencing the success and suboptimality of the program. Data collected through questionnaires and interviews reveal a significant gap between the established targets and the achieved outcomes, with the highest gap value found in the variable of TEFA's alignment with student expectations. This indicates an opportunity to improve the alignment between program implementation and student expectations. Additionally, factors such as teacher readiness and infrastructure also play a role, although the gaps in these areas are relatively smaller. The variables related to learning and practice, while contributing the least, remain important as teacher support and opportunities to apply theory significantly influence students. Recommendations from this study include a comprehensive evaluation of the curriculum, improvement of facilities, and better management of time and Quality Control (QC) systems, aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of TEFA. This research emphasizes the need for integration between the curriculum and industry demands to prepare students for the challenges in the workforc

Oral polio vaccine response in the MAL-ED birth cohort study: Considerations for polio eradication strategies

Background: Immunization programs have leveraged decades of research to maximize oral polio vaccine (OPV) response. Moving toward global poliovirus eradication, the WHO recommended phased OPV-to-IPV replacement on schedules in 2012. Using the MAL-ED prospective birth cohort data, we evaluated the influence of early life exposures impacting OPV immunization by measuring OPV response for serotypes 1 and 3.Methods: Polio neutralizing antibody assays were conducted at 7 and 15 months of age for serotypes 1 and 3. Analyses were conducted on children receiving ≥3 OPV doses (n = 1449). History of vaccination, feeding patterns, physical growth, home environment, diarrhea, enteropathogen detection, and gut inflammation were examined as risk factors for non-response [Log2(titer) \u3c 3] and Log2(titer) by serotype using multivariate regression.Findings: Serotype 1 seroconversion was significantly higher than serotype 3 (96.6% vs. 89.6%, 15 months). Model results indicate serotypes 1 and 3 failure was minimized following four and six OPV doses, respectively; however, enteropathogen detection and poor socioeconomic conditions attenuated response in both serotypes. At three months of age, bacterial detection in stool reduced serotype 1 and 3 Log2 titers by 0.34 (95% CI 0.14–0.54) and 0.53 (95% CI 0.29–0.77), respectively, and increased odds of serotype 3 failure by 3.0 (95% CI 1.6–5.8). Our socioeconomic index, consisting of Water, Assets, Maternal education, and Income (WAMI), was associated with a 0.79 (95% CI 0.15–1.43) and 1.23 (95% CI 0.34–2.12) higher serotype 1 and 3 Log2 titer, respectively, and a 0.04 (95% CI 0.002–0.40) lower odds of serotype 3 failure. Introduction of solids, transferrin receptor, and underweight were differentially associated with serotype response. Other factors, including diarrheal frequency and breastfeeding practices, were not associated with OPV response.Interpretation: Under real-world conditions, improved vaccination coverage and socio-environmental conditions, and reducing early life bacterial exposures are key to improving OPV response and should inform polio eradication strategies
