Teachers’ perceptions on challenges faced by rural secondary schools in the i...Premier Publishers
The paper analysed the teachers’ perceptions on challenges faced by rural secondary schools in the implementation of the technical and vocational education and training policy in Nkayi District in Zimbabwe. This study sought to investigate the challenges confronting teachers of rural secondary schools in Zimbabwe using the quantitative methodology. The study adopted the descriptive survey design. The target population comprised all secondary school teachers in Nkayi District. The sample consisted of 120 teachers of which 68 were female and 52 were male. The data were gathered through a questionnaire. The study revealed that most teachers had a positive attitude towards the TVET programme. It also revealed that schools faced many challenges as they tried to implement TVET. The study recommends that there should be more allocation of financial, material and human resources towards TVET in secondary schools.
The need for TVE is increasing as a result of so many factors: technological advancement,
globalization process, knowledge economy, changes in modes of production in the work place, growing
economic openness and competitiveness. TVE is very vital to the sustenance of technological development of
every nation in the present 21st century. For Nigeria to become developed greater emphasis must be placed on
technology education in order to improve on its quality for sustainable national development. This paper
discussed extensively on quality assuranceon TVE for sustainable national development in the 21st century. The
paper highlights on the concept of TVE and discusses on the status of TVE in Nigeria. Issues on sustainable
development and rationale for enhancing the quality of TVE in Nigeria in the 21st century were explained.
Conclusions were drawn and recommendations made amongst which are that: Government should introduce
sustainable financing scheme for TVE and increase the percentage of total expenditure on education to TVE and
also grant financial aids to trainees who are interested in pursuing TVE programs at whatever level and also
the involvement of major Nigerian stakeholders in the provision of workshop tools, equipment and other
infrastructural facilities for TVE graduates skills acquisition for sustainable national development.
Vocational Education and Technical Skills Training for Indigenous in MalaysiaNorwaliza Abdul Wahab
This paper discusses the participation of Indigenous community in the field of Technical and Vocational
education (TVE) and in the specialized programs in Skills Training Institutions (STI) in Malaysia.
Marginalization of Indigenous youth in terms of education and employment in Malaysia is critical and needs to
be addressed. High unemployment among the Orang Asli youth may be attributed to their lack of proper skills
required by the employers. Thus, vocational training is needed to ensure the competitiveness of these people in
the era of globalization to live a more comfortable life and have a better socio-economic status (SES). This paper
also deliberates on the developmental history of TVE, the aims and the objectives of its implementation in the
education system. Apart from these, the training and skills programs for the Indigenous youth who are drop-outs
and have completed schooling were also discussed. This paper also presents the conclusion and
recommendations to improve the participation of Indigenous community in the TVE and STI. If the
recommendations are taken positively by the relevant authorities in-charge of the Indigenous people, the future
of Indigenous youth will be brighter because it will improve their employment prospects and enhance their social
mobility and status.

The purpose of this paper was to investigate constraints to the implementation of the competence based approach CBA , and effects on vision 2035, as well as what teachers, principals and chiefs of work proposed as solutions to implementation problems. The major issue in this study was to find out whether the characteristics of the CBA constraints the implementation. The survey design was used The simple random sampling and clustered random sampling techniques were employed to obtain a sample of 10 principals, 19 chiefs of work and 129 teachers giving a total of 158 from a population of 509 government technical teachers, chiefs of work and principals in the five technical colleges that were used as sample in Fako division. Data was collected through the use of questionnaire comprising 46 items all closed ended and 2 open ended. Data from closed ended and open ended items were analyzed using the statistical package for the social sciences SPSS and the technique of content analysis respectively. Findings from the data analysis were presented using frequencies, percentages and means. The findings revealed that the CBA was preferred to other teaching methods in spite of its numerous constraints. As such, Cameroon can achieve vision 2035 if CBA is properly implemented. Some recommendations were made to improve on the practice for example, teachers need to be continuously trained through seminars workshops and regular follow up by principals and pedagogic inspectors to ensure the CBA is properly implemented.

OPPORTUNITIES IN HUMAN CAPITAL INVESTMENT FOR INCLUSIVE GROWTH
Educators must be transformed from those who impart knowledge to those who facilitate learning. Curricula must be transformed from mechanisms to deliver facts into mechanisms to promote and facilitate learning and thinking.
Experts assert that a Competency-based Approach to curriculum development can facilitate this transformation. Education and training integrated (a sound general education and broad-based initial training are essential bases for lifelong continuing learning).
TVET Role to meet the need of emerging industry:
Demand-driven approach
Learning for employability
Concept of continuing life-long learning
Self-learning and focus on the learner
A search for multi-skilling
Recognition based on competency and prior learning
Recognition of the need to focus both on formal and informal sectors
Training for wage and self-employment
Decentralized system requiring both strong national and decentralized institutions
Policy and delivery separate, market-driven
Participatory governance, recognition of multiple actors, social dialogue
21st Century Filipino Skilled Workforce Characteristic:
Technically competent

Knowledge-based, with higher order thinking skills
With foundational life skills
In pursuit of lifelong learning opportunities
Possessing desirable work attitudes and behavior
TVET Trends & Specific Skills Interventions :
KNOWLEDGE-BASED ECONOMY - Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) are introduced to advocate critical thinking, analysis and problem solving to augment and enhance learning outcomes in TVET. They have also become common feature of standard-based education reforms.
RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE - Possession of Generic Soft Skills has become a pre-requisite in the new work place. Skills including cognitive, interpersonal, attitudes, values work habits and enterprise, innovation and creativity are very much embedded in capacity building in TVET.
GLOBAL WARMING - Sustainable Development as key agenda of UNs and other development organizations education provisions, significantly calls upon reorienting TVET curriculum towards sustainability while maintaining the principles of 6Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Renew, Recycle, Repair and Rethink perspective.
POVERTY ALLEVIATION - Entrepreneurship, Modular Employable Skills and Informal Sector skills are largely considered to advance poverty reduction mechanisms and create gainful opportunities particularly in unorganized sectors.

This study investigated that the quantity of computer and ICT use in teacher education institutions is less and it is mainly focused on the learning of ICT skills which takes optimum time computers are used. The framework is then improved towards a new framework that can be effectively used to evaluate information and communication technology use in pre-service teacher education. In this study the independent variables are derived from computer use within the institution, some other extraneous factor may have impact on the results. Those factors may be computer use at home, friends home and cyber or internet centers by the respondents. The study concludes that the reality rhetoric gap of the impact of ICTs in teacher education institutions be evaluated from periodically to ensure that the quality with program objectives are met. The result shows that there is an urgent need to conduct intensive training to all the teacher educators in the colleges of education. The curriculum developers should develop global content for serving the local needs and make it to available to all the colleges of education online as well as offline content or blended learning modules. Several factors have been cited as responsible for low quantity of computer use in colleges of education. Some of these factors are; attitude towards new technologies, poor management, lack of local content serving local needs, shortage of equipments.

Abstract
Youth age group (15-24) is a great asset to a nation, because youth being a working age population if properly trained and prepared for world of work could bring revolution in the economy of a country. Therefore, developed countries give greater emphasis to youth’s training and education to prepare youth for world of work. In develop countries, to prepare youth, especially school leaver’s vocational training schemes were introduced at secondary and high school level. However, in developed countries the ratio of edging population is increasing as compared to the youth working age population, whereas in developing countries including Pakistan the youth population is rapidly increasing. There is a need that we take advantage of this demographic dividend and prepare our youth for world of work. This paper highlights the importance of vocationalization in youth employment. In the paper youth’s employment trend and its relation with education and training were discussed. In the country, causes for failure of past efforts made for vocationalization of general education were examined. Worldwide available different modes for vocational training and effective models were analyzed and suitable model for vocationalization of general education in the country is proposed in this paper.

Educational technology is part of a scientific that is mostly engaged in
education. Actually, this scientific has significant benefits, especially in the
field of education. However, many people do not understand the role of
educational technology in education. This can be seen from the diverse
perspectives of society on educational technology. When it is associated with
educational technology science, there are many views of the community that
are very opposite to the scientific clusters of educational technology taught
from lectures. So, the purpose of this study was to find out the various
perspectives of society regarding educational technology itself. This paper is
presented with the addition of theoretical educational technology clumps.
This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. This study used
indirect interviews, which means giving unstructured questions but still
focusing on what will be researched. The subjects in this study were six
participants who were people outside the educational technology scientific
clump. In addition, the author also conducted a literature review which was
taken from six articles from three different journals. The results of this study
reveal a diverse picture of views on educational technology. All participants
argue that educational technology has a significant role, but in terms of the
dominant conception they still do not understand it like other scientific. From
the results it can be a separate challenge for educational technology. It can be
used as an alternative reference in improving the quality of educational
technology, either through formal education or other forms.
Successful Implementation of TPACK in Teacher Preparation Programs IJITE
Today’s teacher education programs should be providing pre-service teachers with ample preparation in
shifting instructional approaches enriched with innovative educational technologies. In fact as Lambert &
Gong (2010) stated “We have entered a crucial time when the technological preparation of teachers has
become an urgent problem we can no longer afford to marginalize” (p. 55). This review of literature
examines recent publications on the topic of technology in teacher preparation through the theoretical lens
of Technology, Pedagogy and Content Knowledge (TPACK) which has shown potential to emphasize a
teacher’s understanding of how technologies can be used effectively as a pedagogical tool.

shifting instructional approaches enriched with innovative educational technologies. In fact as Lambert &
Gong (2010) stated “We have entered a crucial time when the technological preparation of teachers has
become an urgent problem we can no longer afford to marginalize” (p. 55). This review of literature
examines recent publications on the topic of technology in teacher preparation through the theoretical lens
of Technology, Pedagogy and Content Knowledge (TPACK) which has shown potential to emphasize a
teacher’s understanding of how technologies can be used effectively as a pedagogical tool.

This study surveyed Information and Communications Technology (ICT) awareness, utilization and challenges in managing secondary schools in Onitsha Education Zone. Three research questions guided the study. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design. The population comprised 80 respondents made up of all the 32 principals and 48 Computer Science teachers in Secondary Schools in Onitsha Education Zone of Anambra State. The researchers studied the entire population since it was not large. The instrument for data collection was a structured type questionnaire developed by the researcher. It validated by experts and the reliability was established using the split half method which yielded a coefficient value of 0.80 using the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient. Data was analyzed using the mean method for the three research questions. From the findings of the study, it was found that principals to a high extent are aware of ICT facilities used in school management but utilize them to a low extent. Recommendations were proffered based on the findings of the study and they include: increased provision of ICT facilities used in school management by the government, training and retraining of principals on ICT utilization and testing of principals skills on ICT before appointment amongst others.
Exploring Factors Affecting the Success of TVET-Industry Partnership: A Case ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to explore factors affecting the success of TVET-industry
partnerships. A case study design of the qualitative research method was used to achieve this objective. For the
study, one polytechnic college of Oromia regional state, and two industries were purposively selected. From the
sample polytechnic college and industries, a total of 17 sample respondents were selected. Out of 17
respondents, 10 respondents were selected using the snowball sampling method, and the rest 7 respondents were
selected using the purposive sampling technique. The qualitative data were collected through an in-depth
interview and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic approaches. The findings revealed that
TVET-industry partnerships were found weak. Lack of key stakeholder‟s awareness shortage of improved
training equipment and machines in polytechnic colleges, absence of trainee health insurance policy, lack of
incentive mechanisms for private industries, lack of employer industries involvement in designing and
developing occupational standards, and preparation of curriculum were some of the impediments of TVETindustry partnership. Based on the findings it was recommended that the Oromia TVET bureau in collaboration
with other relevant concerned regional authorities and TVET colleges, set new strategies for creating strong
awareness for industries, companies, and other relevant stakeholders on the purpose and advantages of
implementing successful TVET-industry partnership. Finally, the Oromia regional government in collaboration
with the TVET bureau needs to create policy-supported incentive strategies such as giving occasional privileges
of duty-free import, tax reduction, and regional government recognition awards based on the level of partnership
contribution to TVET institutions in promoting TVET-industry partnership.

PREPARING STUDENT TEACHERS TO TEACH WITH TECHNOLOGY: CASE STUDIES IN FINLAND ...IJITE
This quantitative study examines the training of student teachers for ICT-based teaching in two teacher education institution, in Israel and Finland. The data was collected in 2015-2017 using a questionnaire administered to 41 Finnish and 44 Israeli student teachers. The results show that most student teachers had practice in ICT-based teaching. However, about a third of student teachers in both institutions practiced only two times or less using ICT. Those who practiced mostly used a teacher-centred approach as did their college and school mentor teachers who integrated ICT in their lessons

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Keywords: TVET, TEVA, Social, Economy and Education, Country.
INTRODUCTION
UNEVOC as a policy implementing agency
from the United Nations (UN) has placed a strategic
role in vocational education and training (TVET),
especially for developing countries. UNEVOC has
been trying to realize TVET as vocational education
and training involving general education, technology
studies and related sciences, to acquire practical
skills, attitudes, and knowledge related to
employment in all sectors of the economy and social
life. Therefore TVET needs to be understood as: (1)
an integral part of general education; (2) means to
prepare the field of work and participation in the
world of work; (3) media of lifelong learning and
preparation as responsible citizens; (4) developing
instruments to promote environmental insight in a
sustainable manner; and (5) methods to facilitate
poverty alleviation. Vocational education and
training (TVET) refers to: (1) education and training
that prepares students for employment; and (2)
learning that will make students more productive in
certain economic fields. It is reasonable, presumably
the benefits of TVET need to be distributed more
evenly between men and women, as well as between
2. 2
rural and urban areas. Thus, vocational education and
training (TVET) has a vital role in the social field and
economic development of a nation, because TVET is
able to develop and produce skilled resources in the
industry, and is able to play a role and facilitate
poverty alleviation programs.
TVET's strategic role according to Sudira
(2018: 3) is: (1) transforming knowledge, technology,
art, new skills, culture and work character; (2)
increasing the ability and willingness of the
community to contribute to work; (3) train and
develop the potential of themselves and their children
to have life skills and skills in a productive career; (4)
developing self-responsibility as citizens in realizing
unity, prosperity, social justice, and national
competitiveness; (5) cultivating compulsory lifelong
learning as a process of developing self capacity in
the context of economic strengthening, social
cohesion, and national dignity; (6) carry out the
conservation of the noble culture and the
environment as the inheritance of the nation's
children; and (7) improve physical, mental and
spiritual health.In line with this strategic role, TVET
curriculum and learning need to be designed so as to
provide assurance for every graduate to enter the
workforce and his career develop in the future.
TVET's success is measured from four aspects
(Sudira, 2018: 6) which include: (1) the level of
absorption of graduates in the workforce: (2) the
level of alumni satisfaction after graduation; (3) the
level of user satisfaction on the performance of
alumni; and (4) the number of alumni who become
entrepreneurs. Therefore mastery of competencies
that includes a number of skills and work knowledge
as a learning experience, must be used effectively in
schools, communities and the world of work. This is
the real impact of TVET. Question: Has the
application of TVET contributed to the development
of a country's social, economic and educational
fields? What is the impact of TVET in developing
countries?
To support the strategic role of TVET, there
are many programs that need to be done including the
use of learning models that are in accordance with the
characteristics of subjects in the TVET environment,
including vocational schools. There are many
learning models, including direct learning models,
base learning problems, cooperative learning, project
base learning, teaching factories and others. The
implementation of the teaching factory (TEFA) is
related to three main factors, namely: (1) ordinary
learning, considered insufficient; (2) student
competence is derived from direct practical
experience; and (3) team-based learning involving
students, teaching staff and industrial technicians
who will enrich the educational process and benefit
many parties (Lamancusa, et al., 2008: 7). The basic
principle of TEFA is the integration of work
experience into the school curriculum, where
equipment, materials and teaching staff are designed
to carry out the process of producing goods / services
(Lamancusa, et al., 1995: 5). The benefits of TEFA
activities can add to the source of school income for
educational activities. TEFA model learning presents
a real world of industry in the school environment, to
prepare graduates who are ready to work as described
by Rentzos, et al. (2014) as shown in Figure 1.a
which is equipped with a schedule as shown in Figure
1.b below this.
a) b)
Figure 1: Concepts and Schedule of Teaching Factory Activities
(Source: Rentzos L.A, et al., 2014)
3. 3
In TEFA, there are interactions between
teachers, industrial technicians, and students who
learn by using tools, instruments, procedures and
work methods in the industry in a real way, in the
activities of producing goods / services that are worth
selling on industry product standards. To obtain
optimal learning outcomes for students, as well as
goods / services according to industry standards,
TEFA activities can be carried out with a learning
schedule as shown in Figure 1.b above.While
Alptekin, et al. (2001), describes TEFA as shown in
Figure 2, where in TEFA of Cal Poly, there are at
least 5 (five) divisions (Alptekin, et al., 2001),
namely: (1) Industrial Parners; (2) Production
Planning and Control Center; (3) CAD Laboratories;
(4) Rapid Prototyping Manufacturing Facilities; and
(5) students. TEFA of Cal Poly has a lot of support
from the industry so that the implementation of
TEFA can run optimally.
The Division of Production Planning and
Control Center is a division that serves as a
production planner and quality control. CAD
Laboratories Division, is a division that carries out
testing of the planning results of the Production
Planning and Control Center Division, so that the
development of goods / services products designed
and developed, the quality is always well controlled.
Whereas the Division of Rapid Prototyping
Manufacturing Facilities, is a division that is in
charge of making prototypes of goods and or service
products that have been developed by the Division of
Production Planning and Control Center, and has
been properly and properly tested by the Division of
CAD Laboratories. With the organization structure,
management, and implementation of the TEFA,
TEFA of Cal Poly is expected to be able to run,
function and be useful as a place of learning for
students, in accordance with the existing curriculum,
as well as producing goods / services that are worth
selling with goods industry standards/services in
general.
Figure 2: Teaching Factory of Cal Poly (Source: Alptekin, S.E. et al., 2001)
The purpose of TEFA (Hadlock, et al., 2008:
1) is: (1) to practice soft skills in learning; (2)
learning and working in teams; (3) practice
interpersonal communication skills; (4) obtain hands-
on experience and work practice. Whereas according
to the Directorate of Vocational Development (2015)
the objectives of TEFA are: (1) preparing students to
become prospective workers; (2) preparing students
to study to a higher level; (3) help students choose
work fields according to their abilities; (4) shows that
learning by doing is important for the growth of
education creativity and effectiveness; (5) witness the
skills needed in the world of work; (6) expanding
opportunities for recruitment for students; (7)
improve student work readiness; (8) establish
cooperation with the world of work; (9) train students
to make career decisions to be chosen; (10)
opportunities for teachers to build an "instructional
bridge" between class and the world of work; (11)
broadening teachers' insight into instructional
matters; and (12) make students more active in
learning, to achieve better achievements.
The TEFA implementation indicators
according to the Directorate of Vocational
Development (2015) include: (1) skills learning
processes designed and implemented based on actual
4. 4
procedures and working standards; (2) learning
settings are made as closely as possible with real
work situations; (3) problem solving oriented; (4) is
student active learning, independent learning and
collaboration; (5) learning by learning by doing; (6)
emphasizing the achievement of student
competencies (individually and classically) according
to work standards; (7) developing student soft skills
(intellectual, emotional, spiritual / social
intelligence); (8) learning to be responsible in the
world of work, communicate, build commitment and
creativity; (9) train students to continue to learn &
adapt to new knowledge; (10) develop and implement
sustainable business-based learning patterns; (11)
organizing and preparing students involved; (12)
provide guidance/consultation to students
individually and in teams; and (13) carry out
evaluation and improvement of learning outcomes on
an ongoing basis. Question: What is TEFA? What is
the effect of TEFA on the work readiness of
vocational students? Has TEFA been implemented
properly? Is the application of TEFA able to
contribute to the social, economic and educational
development of a country? To answer a number of
questions, it is necessary to conduct research with the
title "A critical study of the results of research on the
role of TVET and TEFA in social, economic and
educational development in a country.
METHOD
The study was conducted using literature
review of a number of references and relevant
research results of European countries, the United
States (US), Africa and Asia, especially in Indonesia.
The results of the study obtained were presented in
the Focus Group Disscussion (FGD) to obtain input
and criticism in order to improve the results of the
research.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
There are many studies that want to reveal
about TVET, and TEFA, both from the aspects of
planning, implementation, and its influence on the
work readiness of vocational students, their role in
building economic growth, and about evaluating the
implementation of TVET or TEFA itself. Nasir
(2012) conducted a study entitled "Strategy to
revitalize technical and vocational education and
training (TVET), management perspectives" which
concluded that: (1) TVET management seems to be
more successful by considering the criteria of
relevance to the labor market (which meets the needs
of providers work and hope); and (2) access for
trainees, quality of delivery, standardization,
inclusion of soft skills, and funding for the system
will be safer and uninterrupted; and (3) TVET
education systems can be adapted from certain
countries. The results of this study indicate that
TVET management needs to pay attention to the
expectations and needs of employers (the world of
work / industry), so that: (1) there is a high level of
absorption of TVET graduates including vocational
graduates; (2) there is no waste on the education
system in TVET because the need for a re-training
level for prospective workers based on the needs of
the workforce / industry becomes smaller. This is in
line with the 16 Prosser propositions (Prosser,
Quigley, & Thomas, 1950), where: (1) vocational
education will be effective, if the environment in
which students are trained is a replica of the
environment in which they will work; (2) vocational
education will be effective, only if the training tasks
are carried out in the same way, tools and machines
as specified in the workplace; and (3) vocational
education will be effective if it trains someone in the
habit of thinking and working, as needed in the world
of work. On the other hand, if a country does not
have a good TVET education system, it can adopt the
TVET education system from other more advanced
countries.
Furthermore, how far has TVET had an
impact on national development? Akhuemonkhan,
Raimi & Dada (2014) reported the results of their
research under the title "Impact of quality assurance
(QA) on technical vocational education and training
in Nigeria", which found that: (1) the impact of
TVET in Nigeria was not impressive because QA
was not effective at all levels of management; (2)
TVET will have an impact on technical progress,
work feasibility and national development; (3) there
is a need for policy makers to focus on important
areas such as finance, access / participation,
guaranteeing the quality and relevance of the
program to the needs of the country. The results of
this study indicate that QA in the TVET environment
in general still needs to be improved, especially in
Nigeria or other developing countries, because TVET
is proven to have an impact on the national
development of the country concerned. Therefore,
Shirley, Chijioke & Chukwumaijem, (2015) provide
advice through research entitled "Challenges and
improvement strategies", which concludes that: (1)
adequate TVET funding is needed; (2) training and
retraining of TVET teachers; (3) provision of TVET
facilities needed; (4) adequate internal and external
supervision; (5) public and private partnerships are an
improvement strategy for quality TVET programs in
Nigeria; and (6) recommended to governments,
stakeholders, policy makers and TVET providers in
Nigeria, should focus on TVET quality assurance
best practices that have worked in countries around
the world.On the other hand, especially related to the
5. 5
response of teachers and students to the role of
TVET, Sidek (2007) reported the results of his
research entitled "The role of TVET teachers in
school based assessment of vocational electives
subjects at Dato Onn Batu Pahat Johor Middle
School" concluded that: (1) the opinions of teachers
and students on the suitability of PBS implementation
in schools are in the high category; (2) the
implementation of PBS in the rank of PMR and SPM
is in the appropriate category; and (3) there is a high
understanding of the implementation of PBS among
teachers and students at the Dato Onn Batu Pahat
National Middle School, Johor Malaysia.
While research that wants to reveal about the
TEFA management model, among others, is carried
out by Wijaya (2013) with the title "Management
model of TEFA vocational high school", which
concludes that: (1) factory management learning
models can be applied in TEFA learning; (2) the
factory management learning model can serve as a
guide for TEFA managers (principals, teachers,
industry partners); and (3) factory management
learning models can produce constructive
contributions in partnerships between vocational
schools and industry. The results of this study are
supported by the findings of Nurtanto, Ramdani,
Nurhaji (2017) through research entitled
"Development of teaching factory models in
vocational schools", which concluded that: (1) TEFA
management includes planning, organizing,
implementing, and evaluating; (2) TEFA
management developed for student practice, should
be integrated with the production unit; and (3) the
TEFA model is one of the solutions to prepare
students to have competencies that are in accordance
with the needs of the industrial world. The results of
this study indicate that the implementation of TEFA
needs to be carried out through good governance,
including managers, implementers, facilities,
planning, implementing organizations and
evaluations. Good governance will have a positive
impact on the success of TEFA implement-
tation.While how far does the implementation of
TEFA have an impact on the level of work readiness
of vocational students? Dewi & Sudira (2018)
reported the results of her research through a journal
entitled "The factory contribution of teaching
program implementation on work readiness of
vocational high school students in Makassar" which
concluded that: (1) there was a significant influence
between the contribution of TEFA program
implementation to readiness work of vocational
students in Makassar with a contribution of 34.6%;
(2) the implementation of TEFA learning in
vocational schools must be optimal to improve the
work readiness of vocational students, so that the
level of absorption of vocational school graduates
becomes increased. The results of this study indicate
that the level of work readiness of vocational students
can be improved through learning TEFA models,
even the application of TEFA contributes 34.6% to
the level of work readiness. Through TEFA: (1)
students will learn while working (learning by
doing); (2) students will learn in groups and
collaborate; and (3) students directly witness the
benefits of the field of study being studied, which in
turn will increase their motivation for learning.
Through TEFA, students will learn while working in
groups, so that there will be intellectual, skill, ethical
and social development in each student (Sharan,
2012: 228). Learning in the real world like that, will
give students the opportunity to actively search for
and combine information from work, society, or
classrooms, then use it positively, will embed
information in their memories (Johnson, 2014: 154).
Working while learning that emphasizes action, will
give the brain the opportunity to feel the outside
world in countless ways (Johnson, 2014: 155), so
students will be better prepared to enter the world of
work.
The research results of Dewi & Sudira (2018)
above are in line with the findings of several other
studies that the TEFA-6M model can: (1) improve
student competence; (2) increasing student
motivation in learning; (3) increasing student
learning time in the workplace; (4) improving soft
and hard skills; and (5) increasing sense of
responsibility and ethics in work. Soft skills and hard,
as well as learning ethics and responsibility in
learning and working through the TEFA-6M model,
in line with national education goals that want to
create intelligent, skilled human resources and noble
character. Such learning will create intelligent human
resources in accordance with the demands of life in
the 21st century which must have the ability to think
critically, innovatively, and have collaborative
abilities supported by communication skills. Through
TEFA, students learn with the right media, so that
their skills will improve, both for students who have
high or low levels of creative thinking. Muslim, et al
(2018.a) found that there was a very significant
interaction between the level of creative thinking and
student learning media, towards the psychomotor
domains learning outcomes. The results of this study
indicate that learning media have an important
influence on student learning outcomes. Working on
training tools allows students to acquire practical
knowledge and skills and then use those skills for
problem solving and machine control (Muslim,
2018.b). Especially in TEFA-based learning, there
are group assignments, where students need
discussion. Such group discussions, require an
6. 6
attitude of cooperation, sharing tasks and
responsibilities in completing tasks (Muslim, 2013).
Collaboration can eliminate mental barriers due to the
limited experience and perspective (Johnson, 2014, p.
164).
The research findings of Dewi and Sudira
(2018) above are also supported by research
conclusions from Pradana, and Yoto (2018), through
research entitled "Management of TEFA
implementation in order to prepare graduates to enter
the workforce of Muhammadiyah 7 Gondanglegi
Vocational School students" found: ( 1) from the
aspects of preparation, implementation and
evaluation activities of TEFA at Muhammadiyah 7
Gondanglegi Vocational School, it has been going
well; and (2) through TEFA, Vocational students are
better prepared to enter the world of work. The
results of this study are in line with the findings of
Indrawati (2017) through his research entitled
"Increasing the achievement of the quality of D-3
electrical engineering graduates with the TEFA
model" which concluded that: (1) the application of
the TEFA model starting from competency standards,
media, lecturers, students, the use and maintenance of
the production, marketing and evaluation processes,
has been structured quite well; (2) there are
shortcomings in management aspects, so that TEFA
does not reach the expected optimum point; and (3)
however, there is a satisfactory increase in the quality
of graduates of the D-3 electrical engineering
program at the University of PGRI Kediri.Somewhat
different from several studies on TEFA described
above, Wafroturrohmah conducted a study entitled
"Efforts to improve life skills and entrepreneurial
values through TEFA learning in the millennium era"
which concluded that TEFA learning was integrated
with discovery learning, problem based learning, and
project based learning, can improve personal life
skills (personal skills, social skills, academic skills
and vocational skills) that are characterized by
entrepreneurial values that include independent,
creative, innovative, risk-taking, action-oriented,
leadership , work hard and have competitiveness.
Furthermore, how far is the application of
TEFA able to contribute to the economic develop-
ment of a country? According to an IMF
(International Monetary Fund) survey in April 2013,
that in Europe alone, manufactured products
accounted for more than 28% of GDP, even though
there was a recession. Therefore Manufuture's High
Level Group and Implementation Support Group
(2006) suggested the need for promotion of superior
manufacturing education (TEFA). Through TEFA,
there will be a merger between the academic world
and real practice, which will spur students' ability to
think critically. The notion of society that critical
thinking is only in the "philosophy course" is
something wrong. It should be noted that critical
thinking is not something that is difficult, which can
only be done by those who have a high IQ in the
genius category, whereas critical thinking is
something that can be done by everyone (Johnson,
2014: 190), including vocational students. With these
reasons, the habit of critical thinking must be instilled
early on to the students. In line with Johnson (2014:
191), that training for critical thinkers is as important
as practicing for tennis players and musicians, and it
is only practice that makes skills a habit. Furthermore
other evidence has shown that "modern training
concepts", industrial learning (TEFA) and knowledge
transfer schemes, can contribute to improving the
performance of manufacturing innovations in Europe
(Chryssolouris, Mavrikios, Mourtzis, 2013).
Therefore according to Mavrikios, Papakostas,
Mourtzis, & Chryssolouris (2011) that a new
approach (TEFA) is very necessary in order to: (1)
modernize the learning process closer to industrial
practice; (2) utilizing industry practices to obtain new
knowledge; (3) supporting the transition from labor-
based and capital-based manufacturing, to
information and knowledge-based manufacturing;
and (4) developing and maintaining more stable
industrial growth. The main objective of TEFA is to
integrate education, research and innovation activities
into one initiative involving industry and academia
effectively and efficiently. In that context,
Chryssolouris, Mavrikios, & Mourtzis (2013) further
emphasize that modern training concepts, which are
tangible industrial learning (TEFA) and knowledge
transfer schemes, contribute to improving the
performance of manufacturing innovations in
European countries.
Still how far will the application of TEFA be
able to contribute to the economic development of a
country? There are several researchers who report
this. At least in the last decade, the concept of TEFA
has received important attention, especially in the
United States, which has produced a number of
educational and / or business pilot activities (Rentoz,
2014). Industrial projects that take place at TEFA,
provide students with learning experiences that are
integrated into contextual settings, where learning
emphasis is given to competency and effective
application. According to Wagner (2012), most of the
applications of the industrial learning paradigm are
reported, simulating key features of the industrial
environment in academic settings, using the
equipment of production models. It should be noted
that there are several studies that reveal the
relationship between the quality of education and
economic growth. Highlighting the fact that human
resources are the key to economic growth (Rentoz,
7. 7
2014), and according to Tether et al. (2005), that
performance on international student achievement
tests has a strong impact on economic growth, and
therefore lack of skills will have a negative effect on
innovation performance (Rentoz, 2014).Furthermore,
how far has the TEFA model been implemented
properly? Lucyana, Tunas, Sunaryo (2017) reported
the results of her research entitled "Evaluation of
teaching factory at industrial vocational high school
education and training center of ministry of industry"
conducted by the CIPP method found that: (1)
evaluation of the needs of the TEFA program was in
"good" category; (2) evaluation of the preparation of
the TEFA program is in the "right" category; (3) the
assessment of the implementation of the TEFA
program is in the "good" category; (4) evaluation of
the results and benefits of the TEFA program in a
"satisfying" position; and (5) the results and benefits
of the TEFA program only benefit students, but have
not been felt by stakeholders in the business world
and the industry in general. The results of this study
reminded the implementers of the TEFA program
that it was necessary to improve the management of
TEFA, so that the implementation of TEFA would
not only benefit students, but also benefit the industry
in general. An effort to maintain the usefulness of
TEFA for both parties will ensure the continuity of
TEFA implementation better.
There are still a number of studies on the
implementation of TEFA, both concerning the
advantages and disadvantages. Lestari (2014) through
a study entitled "Effectiveness of the implementation
of TEFA of Vocational students in Solo Technopark
Surakarta" found that there were several aspects of
the strength of TEFA implementation, namely
aspects of planning, implementation, management
and evaluation processes and documentation
activities that had been managed well. While the
weaknesses of the implementation of TEFA include
aspects of delay in the production of goods / services,
due to lack of facilities and the number of new
instructors filled as much as 50% of what should be.
In contrast to the findings of Lestari (2014) and
Fajaryati (2012) who concluded that in terms of
learning activities, and the implementation of TEFA
had gone well, while the activities of the production
process had not been as smooth as expected.
Therefore Fajaryati (2012) suggests several things:
(1) socialization of TEFA learning needs to be done,
both in schools, parents, and the community; (2)
dissemination of TEFA learning in the educational,
industrial and community environment so that the
implementation of TEFA has broad support from
various parties; (3) periodic evaluation and
improvement of TEFA learning needs to be done; (4)
need to increase capacity in conducting market
research for TEFA teachers and managers; (5) need
to improve marketing strategies for TEFA teachers
and managers; (6) the need to develop market
networks and distribution of TEFA products; and (7)
need to increase the promotion of TEFA results in the
wider community in a sustainable manner.
CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
From the discussion of the results of the
research as described above, the following research
findings are obtained: (1) technology and vocational
education (TVET), has been directed to prepare
students to enter the world of work with the design of
vocational education that emphasizes the mastery of
competencies in accordance with industrial needs; (2)
TVET has a main and key role in the social and
economic development of a country; (3) TVET has
an impact on technical progress, work feasibility and
national economic development such as finance,
access / participation, guarantee of the quality and
relevance of programs to the needs of the country; (4)
the impact of TVET in Nigeria has not been
impressive because of quality assurance (QA) that
has not run effectively at all levels of management;
(5) TEFA is a combination of competency and
production-based learning approaches, where the
practical learning process carried out resembles a
practical process in the real world of work by
conducting activities for the production of goods or
services in the school environment; (6) there is a
significant influence on the application of the TEFA
program to the work readiness of vocational students,
where the application of TEFA contributes 34.6% to
work readiness; (7) the application of TEFA is able to
contribute to the economic development of a country,
where in April 2013, in Europe alone manufactured
products accounted for more than 28% of GDP, even
though there was a recession; and (8) in general the
implementation of TEFA is in the category of right,
good and satisfying.
To improve TVET and TEFA's performance
better, the following are suggested: (1) TEFA
learning needs to be integrated with discovery
learning, problem based learning, and project based
learning models, in order to improve personal life
skills that include personal skills, social skills,
academic skills, and vocational skills that are
characterized by entrepreneurial values that are
independent, creative, innovative, risk-taking,
oriented to action, leadership, hard work and
competitiveness; (2) in general quality assurance
(QA) in the TVET environment still needs to be
improved, especially in Nigeria or other developing
countries, because TVET is proven to have an impact
on the national development of the country
concerned; (3) in the context of increasing TVET's
8. 8
strategic role, cooperation between vocational
education and relevant stakeholders is needed, in
order to create quality education including through
the teaching factory to be important; (4) more
adequate TVET funding is needed so that: (a)
training and retraining of TVET teachers can be
better done; (b) providing TVET facilities so that
TVET programs can run smoothly; and (c)
partnerships between the state and the private sector,
are important strategies in the context of increasing
the TVET program. The fifth suggestion is to
improve TEFA management, so that the
implementation of TEFA will not only benefit
students, but also benefit the industry in general,
where efforts to maintain the benefits of TEFA for
both parties will ensure the continuity of TEFA
better.
