Therefore, although educational reforms continue, gaps remain in vocational training in term of their relevance to market demands, leaving workers prone to instability in the labor market and poor employment conditions. This research uses a qualitative approach to describe government policies, international best practices, and labor market trends. Results demonstrate that through reforms are strategic, digitalizing the employment process, and stronger public-private partnerships, graduate employability can be improved. The results highlight the need for modernization of vocational training systems and further refining the dynamic labor market. Implications drawn from these insights for policymakers, educational institutions, and industry stakeholders regarding creating a sustainable employment ecosystem in the context of the Philippines and other developing economies are also provided.</p> <p><strong>Highlights:</strong></p> <ul> <li data-start="103" data-end="202">Employment Challenges: Gaps in vocational training reduce job stability and employability.</li> <li data-start="203" data-end="306">Strategic Reforms: Digitalization and public-private partnerships improve graduate employment.</li> <li data-start="307" data-end="413" data-is-last-node="">Global Relevance: Lessons from Uzbekistan apply to other developing economies like the Philippines.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Vocational Education, Labor Market, Employment, Digitalization, Workforce Development</p>2025-04-14T03:05:24+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Abror Sharipovhttps://pedagogia.umsida.ac.id/index.php/pedagogia/article/view/1877Correlation between Self-Efficacy and Motivation with Self-Direct Learning of Elementary School Students2025-05-05T18:17:59+00:00Hanifah Dian Alfiyaha510210062@student.ums.ac.idWahdan Najib Habibywnh122@ums.ac.id<p> </p> <p>Students’ low self-directed learning is often attributed to insufficient external support, leading to poor academic habits and dependency on rewards. Such conditions may reduce knowledge retention and weaken both self-efficacy and learning motivation. Despite its importance, the interplay between internal factors like self-efficacy and learning motivation in fostering self-directed learning among elementary students remains underexplored. This study investigates the relationship between self-efficacy and motivation to learn through self-directed learning in upper-grade elementary students in Surakarta. Using a quantitative correlational approach, data were collected from 140 students through Proportional Random Sampling and analyzed using product moment and multiple correlation techniques. The findings show a significant positive correlation between self-efficacy and self-directed learning (r = 0.556, p < 0.05), and between learning motivation and self-directed learning (r = 0.630, p < 0.05). Both variables together also significantly correlate with self-directed learning (R = 0.649, p < 0.05). This study empirically confirms the dual role of self-efficacy and motivation as predictors of self-directed learning among elementary students. The results highlight the importance of fostering internal factors to enhance learning independence, while encouraging further research into additional influences such as external support, time management, and learning strategies.</p> <p><strong>Highlights:</strong></p> <ul> <li class="" data-start="0" data-end="123"> <p class="" data-start="3" data-end="123">Self-efficacy and learning motivation have a significant positive correlation with students' independent learning.</p> </li> <li class="" data-start="124" data-end="279"> <p class="" data-start="127" data-end="279">Correlation analysis shows that self-efficacy and learning motivation jointly contribute to increased learning independence (R = 0.649; p < 0.05).</p> </li> <li class="" data-start="280" data-end="402"> <p class="" data-start="283" data-end="402">Independent learning is influenced by internal factors, particularly students’ confidence and intrinsic motivation.</p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Self-Efficacy, Learning Motivation, Self-Direct Learning</p> <p> </p>2025-05-05T07:40:40+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Hanifah Dian Alfiyah, Wahdan Najib Habibyhttps://pedagogia.umsida.ac.id/index.php/pedagogia/article/view/1866Analysis of Students' Learning Needs for Teaching Materials in Informatics Subject at Senior High School.2025-03-27T02:44:24+00:00Rahmi Yuliza Fitriliza.ryf@gmail.comAdlia Alfirianiadlia.heldi@gmail.comFelia Siskafeliasiska17@gmail.com<p>Education in the digital era requires innovative learning, especially in informatics, which develops critical thinking, problem-solving, and digital literacy. However, many schools, including SMA Negeri 2 Pasaman, struggle to provide relevant teaching materials. This study analyzes students' learning needs through a quantitative survey of 98 tenth-grade students. Results show that lectures (31%) and printed books (80%) dominate learning, while students prefer interactive materials with clear content, exercises, images, videos, and animations. The findings highlight the gap between available materials and students’ needs, emphasizing the need for more innovative, engaging, and relevant teaching resources.</p> <p><strong>Highlights: </strong></p> <ul> <li data-start="0" data-end="138"> <p data-start="3" data-end="138">Learning Material Gap – Most schools rely on printed books (80%) and lectures (31%), while students prefer interactive materials.</p> </li> <li data-start="140" data-end="286"> <p data-start="143" data-end="286">Need for Interactive Learning – Students want comprehensive, easy-to-understand materials with exercises, images, videos, and animations.</p> </li> <li data-start="288" data-end="420" data-is-last-node=""> <p data-start="291" data-end="420" data-is-last-node="">E-Module Solution – Developing interactive digital materials can enhance student engagement and understanding in informatics.</p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Needs Analysis, Teaching Materials, Informatics</p>2025-03-25T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 Rahmi Yuliza Fitri, Adlia Alfiriani, Felia Siska
