Problem-based learning and the integration of sustainable development goals

PurposeThis study explores how problem-based learning (PBL) programs can address Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) via the higher education (HE) curriculum, teaching materials and relevant assessments, supporting learning at scale for HE institutions.Design/methodology/approachEmploying SDGs and their indicators as the coding framework, our two-phase study evaluates the curriculum and teaching materials of seven PBL programs at a leading higher education institution (HEI). The first phase involved a content analysis to assess the degree of sustainability integration in 156 relevant courses. The second phase applied a semi-automated mapping protocol to analyze learning and teaching materials in 120 relevant courses.FindingsThe school aligns with 17 SDGs (100%), covering 94 indicators (55.62%). On average, each program within the school addresses over ten of these goals and incorporates more than 24 associated indicators. However, the study reveals an imbalance in the incorporation of SDGs, with some goals not yet deeply and comprehensively embedded in the curriculum. While there is a substantial focus on sustainability theories, the practical implications of SDGs in emerging countries, particularly through case studies and assessments, require significant enhancement.Practical implicationsMapping SDGs allows HEIs to identify strengths and gaps in SDG integration, thereby improving the PBL approach to enhance student work readiness in sustainability-focused careers.Originality/valueThrough the lens of transformative learning theory, this study provides evidence of SDG integration into PBL curricula. It highlights a mapping methodology that enables HEIs to evaluate their sustainability readiness in curriculum, teaching materials and relevant assessments.

EMPLOYABILITY SKILL "POSITIVE SELF CONCEPT" MODULE DEVELOPMENT FOR FINAL-YEAR STUDENTS AT FACULTY OF TEACHER TRAINING AND EDUCATION UNIVERSITAS LAMPUNG

Employability skills are really needed in facing the competitive world of work. However, there are no communicative modules available yet to improve students' employability skills.

The method used is ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation). Research data was obtained from a team of employability and media experts; and 15 students in semesters 6-8 who were selected using purposive sampling technique. The data collection technique is using a questionnaire to determine the ADDIE validation of the module. The results of expert validation research for module material show an overall average = 0.73. In the assessment from media experts, the overall average value = 0.87. The results of the student validation assessment reached an average score = 73.75. Based on these results, it can be concluded that this positive self-concept employability skills module can be a communicative learning tool to increase student work readiness.

The influence of Teaching Factory (TEFA) implementation and work readiness on vocational high school students' future job perspectives

Graduates who are superior, competitive, and ready to work are the goals of vocational education.

Indeed, nowadays, professional/vocational graduates must be ready to enter the industrial world after graduation. This research involved 456 respondents of Vocational High School (VHS) students in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, who were determined using a proportional random sampling technique. This type of research is descriptive quantitative with data analysis using SEM AMOS. The results showed that there was a significant influence between the implementation of TEFA and the level of work readiness up to 57%, while the actual contribution of teaching and work readiness factors to future employment time was 80.7%. Overall, the results show that the implementation of TEFA has successfully helped students become more independent and ready to face the competitive world of work. Although 19.3 factors still influence work readiness and prospects, the research results do not change much. Therefore, the application of a teaching factory in the learning process is highly recommended for teachers and students in vocational schools. The implementation can be adjusted to the learning conditions and resources available in VHS. This research contributes as a source of reference in future studies related to improving practical learning and developing students' entrepreneurial skills.
