Abstract

Vocational education in Indonesia faces various challenges in preparing competent and adaptive human resources for the 21st century. Despite various initiatives to improve the quality and relevance of vocational education, educational institutions still struggle with a less dynamic curriculum, limited infrastructure, and lack of collaboration with industry. As a result, vocational education graduates are often unprepared for the fast-changing and highly-skilled world of work. This challenge calls for a comprehensive reform of the vocational education system, involving the integration of 21st century skills such as adaptability, collaboration, critical thinking and digital literacy into the curriculum. It is also necessary to encourage strong partnerships between educational institutions and the industrial world to create a curriculum that is relevant and in line with labour market needs. In addition, the application of modern technology in the learning process, comprehensive training for teaching staff, and the development of high-quality vocational centres need to be prioritised. With consistent and coordinated reforms, vocational education in Indonesia is expected to be able to act as the main pillar in supporting the availability of competent and qualified human resources, and be able to compete at the global level. This will require close collaboration between government, industry and educational institutions to address the 21st century skills challenges and contribute to the nation's economic and social development.

Abstract

Effective resource management strategies are key to improving the quality of education in primary schools. Continuous development of teachers' capacity through training programs in line with curriculum needs and the use of the latest educational technology play a vital role in enriching students' learning experience. Improved school infrastructure such as conducive classrooms, updated laboratories and well-stocked libraries support more efficient and interactive teaching and learning. Collaboration with parents and the school site community is equally important, through mobilizing additional support and resources, which in turn, improves student motivation and learning outcomes. The research method used in this study is the literature research method. The results show that continuous professional development for teachers is a dominant factor in improving the quality of learning. Effective programs include customized training that is integrated with current educational needs and objectives. Adequate educational infrastructure and access to educational technology also play an important role in creating an efficient learning environment and encouraging students to perform better academically. Finally, parental and community involvement was found to be a key aspect in enhancing students' learning motivation and sustaining the school's efforts in providing educational resources. It also strengthens the school's relationship with external stakeholders and helps in the mobilization of additional resources.

Abstract

Inclusive education is an approach to learning that provides inclusion to all learners, regardless of their achievements, disabilities or backgrounds, in the same environment. It involves adjusting the curriculum, teaching methods and additional support to ensure that every student has a fair and equal opportunity to receive a quality education. The research method used in this study is literature review. The results show that first, an inclusive classroom environment requires teachers to implement learning approaches that can effectively meet the individual needs of each student. Through an initial evaluation of learners' abilities and needs, teachers can design an adaptive curriculum tailored to their limitations. Secondly, teachers also need to implement student excellence-based learning strategies, such as multisensory, modeling and tiered assignments. The success of these strategies relies heavily on collaboration between teachers, parents, and various experts such as educational psychologists and therapists. Open and continuous communication between all parties is essential to ensure the strategies implemented remain appropriate and effective. Thus, the implementation of appropriate strategies and strong cooperation can provide equal opportunities for learners with disabilities to succeed in their learning.

Abstract

Inclusive education has always been understood as an approach to learning about the differences and diversity of learners, providing equal opportunities for everyone to engage in the same learning process. The study in this research uses the literature search method. The findings of the investigation suggest that inclusive learning environments have a significant positive impact on students' social skills development. Among inclusive environments, students tend to show improvement in their ability to follow each other, cooperate and respect diversity. This not only helps in the formation of learners' individual character and values but also enhances their ability to adapt among diverse social situations. In addition, students' learning is positively influenced by an environment that supports the diversity of individual learning styles, enabling them to reach their full academic potential. This study recommends further integration of inclusive education principles in the primary school curriculum, including continuous teacher training and development of supportive resources, as a strategic step in strengthening socialization and learning processes. The implications are expected to help establish an educational ecosystem that is not only inclusive but also enriches students' learning experiences, encouraging them to become holistic, empathetic individuals who are ready to face global challenges.

Abstract

Islamic education today has to enrich its graduates not only with religious knowledge and comprehension of doctrines, but also equip them for the twenty first century society. The development of the integrated curriculum addresses this problem as it merges several disciplines while relating religious education to real-life situations. A literature study approach was employed in examining the issue under consideration. The findings indicate that an integrated curriculum approach can enhance active and constructive engagement of learners in the teachings of Islam which can create a relevant education that meets the expectations of contemporary society. However, the integration of an interdiciplinary curriculum does not bear fruits easily as there are some barriers such as lack of willingness to embrace change, scarcity of funds and the proper evaluation of students rated. Therefore, some strategies to overcome these challenges include effective training programmes, investment in resource development and improved coordination among stakeholders.
