Abstract

Introduction. The Fourth Industrial Revolution has brought about significant changes in both the economy and education. This study introduces a tailored self-design training model specific to In- donesia’s industries for students. Aim. The present research aims to develop a learning model that is product-oriented and tailored to meet the needs of the industry. Additionally, it seeks to evaluate the model’s effectiveness in enhancing the readiness of vocational high school (VHS) students. Methodology and research methods. The study employed various testing methods, including interviews, questionnaires, and practical performance assessments. Results and scientific novelty. The developed Industry-Integrat- ed Self-Design Project Learning (i-SDPL) model integrates the learning experiences from VHSs with an industry component aimed at familiarising students with the professional environment of enterprises. This model emphasises student independence in the development and implementation of industry pro- jects. The integration with industry within the model offers students access to the latest technologies and practical knowledge that may not always be available in an academic setting. The advantages of this model include active student participation in enterprise operations, training based on real products, and a comprehensive enhancement of both technical competencies and soft skills compared to tradi- tional methods. The effectiveness of the i-SDPL model is evaluated based on three main competency aspects, each with clear indicators and criteria. The i-SDPL model has demonstrated its effectiveness in enhancing attitude, knowledge, and skills competency among 136 students across two trial imple- mentations. Scientific novelty. An original i-SDPL model has been developed to ensure the integration of vocational education programmes with the specific needs of various industries. Practical significance. The widespread adoption of the i-SDPL model will further enhance partnerships between vocational ed- ucation institutions and industry. The findings of this study are not only pertinent to the VHS system in Indonesia but can also serve as a valuable guide for vocational education institutions in other countries facing similar challenges.
