Abstract

Abstract:
Vocational education is a program with a composition of 60% practical courses and 40% theoretical courses. As a distance learning institution, special efforts are required to provide learning materials for students so that graduate competencies align with the desired graduate profile. The integrated vocational learning ecosystem model is a learning system design that applies theory, field practice, and independent practice, along with assessments for students to determine their level of success and understanding of the learning material, which can be viewed within a single integrated vocational learning ecosystem. The purpose of this research is to produce graduates of the study program with the expected competencies. The methodology used is Research and Development (R&D). After the R&D methodology was applied to the integrated learning system in the vocational program, the results showed that vocational students were better able to understand the learning materials in practical courses and practical courses through the integrated vocational learning ecosystem model. The integrated vocational learning ecosystem is an integrated learning system that includes textbooks (BMP), interactive teaching materials, formative tests, and archival work practices with a choice of practical types, all within a single learning model..
