However, it is important to evaluate the delivery of the program to ensure that it continues to meet these demands. This study focused on analyzing the delivery of the TVET competency assessment and certification system in Davao de Oro, Philippines. The study utilized a descriptive survey method and adopted the (Service Quality) SERVQUAL model to assess service quality. The results revealed that there is a gender gap distribution among male and female clients who availed of the process of competency assessment and certification system. The study also found that empathy obtained a negative gap score (-0.03) in the process. This negative score implies that empathy is as important as other dimensions of service quality. However, other dimensions of service quality have met the expectations of clients and obtained a positive score. Overall, respondents have perceived the implementation of the technical vocational education and training TVET competency assessment and certification system to be satisfactory. To improve the service quality, it is necessary to provide appropriate information about processing time and documentary requirements to all clients and equip personnel in handling clients proactively. Relationship-based management should also be improved to promote holistic technical vocational education and training (TVET) service quality, particularly in competency assessment and certification systems.","PeriodicalId":43208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Technical Education and Training","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135297702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With theclear aim to promote Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)in Malaysia, several projects for 2022 have beenimplemented throughout the country including 10 solution projects in the Eastern Region,particularly in Kelantan. The solution project implementorswere given financial assistance to runskill-based training and community-based projects for community development, empowerment, and an industry-ready talent pool. This paper intends to discuss the key challenges and project impact evaluation carried outon behalf of APPGM-SDG. The methodology employed was a mixed method –embedded design approach to assess the project impact evaluation. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used to evaluate the impact of the project. Data was gathered from proposal and project monitoring documents, focus group discussions(FGD), and site visits. Findings from solution providers, project beneficiaries, and evaluators' observations were then combined and triangulated to provide a more in-depth understanding of the impact of the solution projects. There were several key challenges found in the solutions projects from the perspectives of solution providers, project beneficiaries, and project evaluators in the Eastern regiondiscussed in this paper. This paper also highlights several recommendations to overcome those challenges via a clear communication plan between solution providers, APPGM representatives, and impact evaluators to facilitate andstrengthen the impact evaluation process. The challenges discussed in this paper are hoped to better inform project implementors and policymakers in their decision-making, program design, and policy papers, particularly in the areas of economic, social, and environmental with a clear target SDG deliverables and target group.","PeriodicalId":43208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Technical Education and Training","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135296687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, the success of gamification implementation in mobile learning (m-learning) applications has been proven by many research associated with technology acceptance. However, studies on the technology post-acceptance phase are scarce. Deploying gamification concepts in competency-based education and assessment method, aim to diversify the game dynamics usage in new and practical areas such as technical and vocational education. Therefore, this study focused on the development of a predictive model for a gamified m-learning application that extends the Expectation Confirmation Model (ECM) with perceived enjoyment. This study applied a correlational research design on the students of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) based diploma programmes in one of Malaysian public university. An online survey was conducted, and garnered 269 responses, which were used in the final analysis based on the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings showed that all the factors in the model, which are the confirmation of expectation, satisfaction, perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment, appeared to be significantly influencing the students’ continuance usage intention towards the gamified m-learning application as well as jointly explained 64.6% (R2) of the changes. The addition of variable perceived enjoyment provided an increment of 2.7% compared to the R2 value of the original ECM model. Most importantly, the proposed extended ECM proved to be a reliable prediction model when the Q2 values for continuance use intention and perceived usefulness displayed strong predictive accuracy, having 0.368 (Q2) for both variables, while satisfaction showed moderate strength with the value of 0.305 (Q2). Therefore, the predictive model is reliable to be used to investigate future usage and effective designs of gamified m-learning products among the technical and vocational education students in other Higher Education Institution (HEI).","PeriodicalId":43208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Technical Education and Training","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135296819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

School leaders possess the opportunity to employ diverse leadership styles that can influence teachers' motivation, specifically in integrating ICT into teaching and learning. Technical and vocational education is an area where ICT integration holds significant potential for productivity enhancement, given its pivotal role in developing students' college-ready skills. However, previous studies have shown uncertainties in the relationship between principals’ leadership styles and teachers' motivation in certain schools. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between principals' leadership styles and TVET teachers' motivation in implementing ICT. A correlational study was conducted, employing survey methods, and utilizing the Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS) for instructional leadership styles and the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) for transformational leadership styles. The instruments used to measure teachers' motivation were adapted from the instruments aligning with the TAM model. Data analysis included percentage, mean, standard deviation, frequency, regression, and Pearson's correlation analysis, with a significance level set at p = 0.05. The results revealed that TVET teachers' responses to the leadership styles of school principals in Malaysia are satisfactory. Furthermore, a significant correlation exists between the principal's leadership styles and TVET teachers’ motivation. In addition, regression analysis demonstrates that transformational dan instructional leaderships influence TVET teachers’ motivation in implementing ICT. These findings provide support for previous research indicating that the principal's leadership styles indeed influence teachers' motivation.","PeriodicalId":43208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Technical Education and Training","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135297530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was conducted to generate on the construct validity process of the survey items in heutagogy elements specifically for vocational learning. Items have been developed based on relevant literature and the context of vocational education in particular leads to readiness for employment. Therefore, to go through the process of validity and reliability of the items, this study involved 100 students from Vocational Colleges to response the survey items. There are 71 items in a set of questionnaires with six elements consists of Exploring, Collaborating, Relationship, Creating, Reflection and Sharing. The data was analysed based on Rasch Model as statistical measurement model that can be used to assess the validity and reliability of research instruments. The construct validity was examined by analysing the point-measure correlation index, infit, and outfit values; meanwhile, the reliability was examined by analysing the item reliability index. The results have shown that the findings of the analysis found seven items dropped because the items did not meet the requirements of the established analysis. By analysing the data collected from the questionnaire, the final instrument shows a total of 64 items suitable for measuring six elements of heutagogy. The Rasch Model differs from other measurement models in reliability assessment by focusing on one-dimensionality, assessing both person and item reliability, enabling item calibration, and providing fit statistics. Hence, this systematic approach may facilitate researcher to improve the items to produce the good quality of research instrument.","PeriodicalId":43208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Technical Education and Training","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135297693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research employed a quantitative descriptive and cross-sectional study among vocational college students from diploma programs across field of studies to combat numerous issues related to graduates’ preparedness on entering workforce, particularly on lack of employability skills. The employability skills section of the instrument was adapted from Grant, Malloy, and Murphy (2009) and Sarigoz (2012). The CD-SEI (Career Development Self-Efficacy Inventory) was replicated from Yuen et al. (2005) as dependent variable. Findings related to employability skills were indicated at a moderate level. The self-efficacy for career development was moderately high. Students' self-efficacy for career development was not significantly influenced by the demographic variables of gender or academic success. Additionally, the results indicated that vocational college students have higher cognitive skills which significantly predicted the career development self-efficacy.

In spite of this, past local studies have shown an agricultural-related careers are getting more interest from students due to the practical learning environment provided by the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) Agricultural Science Foundation (ASPer UPM) but there is no thorough explanation regarding the elements of practical learning environment that affects students' interest. This qualitative study was to provide additional insight into the learning infrastructure as a component of the agricultural subjects’ practical learning environment by examining how infrastructure in agricultural practical learning environment influences students’ interest and selection of agriculture as a field of study. Furthermore, it attempts to identify students' perceptions of practical learning infrastructure as part of the ASPer UPM learning environment. This qualitative study collected data through the focus group interview using an interview questions instrument. The study found that students perceive the provision of infrastructure and equipment as not uniform, and the technology adopted is inadequate and only sufficient to help with basic work. The students also perceive the instructors’ expertise and specialisation as helping them understand the course content and the specialised locations are aligned with the learning content. The study found that students' interest could be increased by changing the learning location and content, providing adequate, usable and conducive infrastructure and implementing clear teaching and practical learning procedures. At the same time, infrastructure can generate curiosity, provide early exposure to agriculture and change negative perceptions and interests to influence students to select agriculture as a field of study. Lastly, this study found an apparent relationship between Faculty of Agriculture cluster students' selection of fields of study and their foundation course CGPA. These results can be utilised as guidance for agricultural education institutions to design a high-quality practical learning environment via enhanced infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":43208,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Technical Education and Training","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135296683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
