Unesa.ac.id, SURABAYA-Learning in Vocational Schools mostly uses the teaching factory (TeFa) model or production and business-oriented learning to answer the challenges of industrial development now and in the future. However, not all Vocational High Schools apply this learning model, even those who have implemented it have not been maximized.
On that basis, the UNESA Vocational Education S-3 lecturer team held a TeFa Model Learning workshop for SMK teachers in Nganjuk Regency. The activity was carried out starting October 5, 2021 at SMKN 3 Nganjuk which was attended by dozens of teachers from various public and private schools.
Dr. Ratna Suhartini, M.Si, one of the implementing teams stated that the workshop was held online and offline with a focus on governance preparation and preparation of TeFa documents. The development of the TeFa learning they trained was based on local wisdom from Nganjuk Regency.
The workshop consists of the main activities, namely the delivery of material consisting of; 1) development of teaching factory; 2) teaching factory management; 3) teaching factory learning tools; 4) assessment in teaching factory learning; 5) e-commerce marketing.
The objectives of these activities are; first, increasing the potential of local wisdom products produced by SMK in Nganjuk Regency; second, improving the quality of the teaching factory learning process in SMK in Nganjuk Regency.
Prof. Dr. Ekohariadi, M.Pd., the implementation team also stated that TeFa is a production and business-oriented learning model to answer the challenges of industrial development. In other words, the model brings the atmosphere and industry standards into the classroom with the hope that students can produce works according to market or industry standards.
He explained the results of his team's survey, Nganjuk Regency has 52 SMKs, in detail, 8 SMKN and 43 SMKS. Of that number, not all Vocational Schools implement the TeFa model of learning. The factors start from financing and the understanding and skills of the teachers regarding the implementation of TeFa.
According to him, potentially, Vocational Schools in Nganjuk have the potential to implement TeFa, starting from human resources, curriculum, workshops, management to regional potentials that are very supportive. "That's why we gave TeFa training by utilizing regional potential or local wisdom there (Nganjuk, ed)," he said.
He hopes that, through the training, teachers and vocational schools in Nganjuk can improve the quality of learning and learning and make TeFa a part of the main program. Then, the school is able to direct students to work according to industry or company standards.
Indirectly, the model can provide economic benefits for both schools and students. "We hope that together, of course, our students can learn and master the competencies carried out based on actual industrial work procedures and standards," he said. In the implementation of the training, the lecturers involved are Prof. Dr. Ekohariadi, M.Pd., Dr. Ratna Suhartini, M.Si and assisted by several UNESA Vocational Education Doctoral students.
