“…Overall, though the current study found two factors with "Not Good" category, the rest factor supported the significant result on "Good" category. This carries a meaning that the contents of vocational education reflected in the competence of skills developed (Sukardi, & Fahrurrozi, 2019) can be developed by applying the Good School Governance. The low competitiveness of vocational education graduates, both in entrepreneurship and competitiveness in the national and international labor market can also be increased by Good School Governance.…”

The study aims to analyze the implementation of Good School Governance in vocational schools in Indonesia as a response of the high number of inappropriate employment to the vocational graduates’ competencies. This present quantitative descriptive study applies the purposive sampling technique by picking up 852 vocational school principals and teachers from 34 provinces in Indonesia. The researcher found a model for improving the vocational school performance based on good school governance in Indonesia covering Transparency, Accountability, Responsibility, Autonomy, Fairness, Participation, Effectiveness and Efficiency, and Consensus-Oriented principles. Among these eight factors, Responsibility is assessed the highest with the Mean score of 3.25, while both Consensus-Oriented and Participation are labelled as “Not Good” with the Mean scores of 2.93 and 2.82 respectively. However, the results of the recent study need to be legitimated in order to formally applied in all vocational schools in Indonesia.

“…Therefore, VHS level students are equipped with entrepreneurship skills, both theoretically and practically. It is very essential to strengthen the entrepreneurship aspect, because based on the results of the study by Sukardi et al (2019) found that there was a discrepancy in expertise developed by the Vocational High School (VHS) with the regional issues which became the featured basis. It confirms to be the main reason of the gap between the needs of graduates with the availability of employment (Sala-i-Martín et al, 2015;Wildan & Sukardi, 2011;Sukardi & Wardana, 2016).…”

This study aimed at obtaining the design of an entrepreneurial school model for vocational high school based on an effective cluster development in tourism sector to strengthen the competitiveness of vocational high school graduates. This study applied research and development procedures and design based research (DBR) models which were integrated with constructivistic design principles. The procedures involve evaluation and determination of regional supremacy as a leading commodity / industry; development of design and product model for entrepreneurial school cluster-based model; and a reflection and experimental process to get the final product model. The collection of data on developing process was taken through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGD) in schools, governments, industrial world groups, and other stakeholders. In addition, the questionnaire was also used to get the feasibility of the design by involving experts in the areas of tourism, economy, education, and development. The overall data were then analyzed qualitatively. The components of the entrepreneurial school model produced involve audience, content, procedures, and evaluations.

“…This situation is influenced by the irrelevance of school competencies with the current state of development of the construction industry technology. The main solution is growing and developing student competitiveness by increasing student competency through vocational education (Rahdiyanta, Nurhadiyanto, & Munadi, 2019), because this condition causes the low competitiveness of competencies in entrepreneurial and technical skills in both national and international markets (Sukardi, Wildan, & Fahrurrozi, 2019;Ismail & Hassan, 2019).…”

This study aims to prove the validity test and estimate the instrument's reliability to measure student achievement in the department of architectural engineering education in Indonesia. The cluster random sampling technique was used to determine the number of students consisting of 103 vocational education students. This study uses a survey method to examine and analyze the structure of students' competency achievements factors. The collected empirical data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). EFA test is intended to reveal factors that can be formed from instruments that have been established for measurement of achievements of vocational student competencies. The analysis results using EFA showed that the instrument had good construct validity. The result of this research shows that the instrument test for measuring the achievement of student competencies has good reliability and consists of 30 competency items covering ten competency aspects, namely general competencies, technical drawing, statically structures, basic building construction, land measurement engineering, software application and building interior design, road and bridge construction, estimated construction costs, building construction and utility, creative and entrepreneurship product competencies.
