Constructivism serves as a basic theory in education, and plays an important role, because this perspective views learning as a dynamic process in which students actively participate in constructing their knowledge. So, this research aims to produce a virtual laboratory that is valid and effective in developing constructivist thinking. This research and development use the Ploom approach which consists of initial investigation, design, construction/realization, testing, evaluation, revision, and implementation. Thirty-two electrical engineering students from Padang State University participated in this research. The instruments used are validity instruments and constructivism assessment tools. The research results show that the Proteus-based virtual laboratory developed is valid and effective in fostering constructivist thinking in electrical measurement practice. This study contributes to the advancement of virtual laboratories in educational settings, emphasizing the importance of constructivist pedagogy for meaningful and engaging learning experiences in the field of electrical engineering. The results of this research open opportunities for further research regarding the exploration of artificial intelligence to improve constructivism through virtual laboratories.

This research aims to revolutionize the examination process in vocational schools by developing the FlyExam application, an Android-based test platform derived from improvements to the TCExam interface. The core goal was to create a powerful, easy-to-use, and effective tool for semester assessment. Following a Research and Development (R&D) approach, this research uses a 4D model: Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. Validation procedures require expert evaluation of the technical aspects and usability of the application. At the same time, practicality is assessed through engagement with students and teachers, and effectiveness is measured by student performance. Expert reviews and user feedback confirm the validity and practicality of the application. During implementation, the LAN network topology proved to be a conducive environment for conducting semester exams, increasing the efficiency and reliability of the testing process. The integration of TCExam and FlyExam on mobile devices shows the potential of transitioning from traditional paper-based exams to digital platforms, offering greater flexibility and accessibility. Future research efforts could explore FlyExam's scalability and adaptability in various educational contexts and its long-term impact on assessment practices and academic outcomes. Additionally, ongoing improvements based on user feedback can lead to further improvements and the incorporation of new features, ensuring FlyExam remains relevant and effective in meeting evolving vocational education needs. In summary, the development of FlyExam represents significant progress in the modernization of assessment methodology, with the potential to simplify the process and improve the learning experience in vocational schools.

This paper investigates industry perceptions regarding the relevance of the courses in the curriculum provided by universities and whether they are in accordance with the demands that exist in the industrial world. This research uses a descriptive survey method. The sample taken from electrical engineering alumni who worked in industry was 242 people. This research uses a stratified random sampling technique. The instrument used is a 4-point scale. The assessment was rated Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree with weights of 4, 3, 2, and 1, respectively. Three vocational education experts validated the instrument. Reliability was performed with Aiken-V. The questionnaire contains 34 questions. Research data was analysed by percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The findings show that the soft skills and hard skills achieved in each course in the curriculum are arranged in accordance with industry needs. Soft skills and hard skills in the curriculum can be provided to students so that they can look for related jobs.

This research aims to determine work willingness after industrial placement of XII-grade students in the study program of electrical power installation engineering (TITL) at VHS 5 Padang. The method uses a quantitative descriptive approach using the similarity of the terms cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. The results of this research indicate the work will of 31 students is likely to be more interested in entering higher education or entrepreneurship. The Data shows that students` work willingness is in the excellent category with a percentage of 55%. It means that 45% of students graduating from 2021-2022 are not ready to work.

The dynamics of technological progress in various fields indirectly affect the world of education. One of the indications can be seen in the use of media as a learning tool. This study aims; 1) to investigate the effectiveness of the packet tracer learning media application, 2) to investigate the responses of the students to such applications, 3) to determine the appropriate media used in a learning process. The research is carried out in the subject of Computer Design Networking. The evaluation research is employed by using a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative approach. The quantitative analysis involved 58 students, while the qualitative analysis involved one productive teacher, one curriculum representative, and four students. Data are analysed by using quantitative and qualitative data analysis techniques. The results show that, the effectiveness of learning media with packet tracer is high i.e., 82.76%, which covers three aspects; software engineering, learning aspects, and display aspects. This means that this packet tracer learning media can be applied as a solution to the limitation of facilities and infrastructures of network practices by considering certain learning situations and conditions. The results indicate that this application is very useful to deal with the high cost of practising tools. It makes the students more enthusiastic and motivated during the learning process. Hence, by implementing this learning method, the interaction and the learning outcomes of the student can be increased.
