ABSTRACT

In the context of vocational education in Indonesia, integrating technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is becoming increasingly important to improve the quality of education and prepare students for the demands of the evolving labour market. Five key strategies can be implemented to address the challenges of TEL implementation. This study focuses on polytechnics acting as strategy owners in these endeavours, while environmental constraints included budget limitations, resistance to change and technical challenges, and using 4 of the first stages of SSM. Through the model, polytechnics in Indonesia can holistically address the complexities of TEL to improve vocational education. In integrating TEL, the roles of educators, stu-dents, IT departments, and government are key. In addition, it is important to overcome environmental constraints such as budget limitations and resistance to change to achieve success in TEL adoption and prepare students with relevant skills for the digital age. Thus, these strategies provide a comprehensive view of how to address the challenges and realize the potential of TEL in improving vocational education in Indonesia.
