Abstract
In technical and vocational education and training (TVET), project approach is usually the learning methodology for training last year student in order to apply learnt theory and technique to real situation. And the project is also used as a tool for final assessment and evaluation on the subject and course level. This paper described application of project approach to encourage TVET student to learn indepth. Third year student (grade 12) who studied certificate of vocational education in industrial trades (mechatronics) program was focused. The integrated project and project production process was designed based on integration of 4 mechatronic subjects. Teachers of each subjects were required to rearrange unit plan and to teach knowledge and skills linked to project production process. During the project work, the teachers were invited to discuss the student ability on doing project and were asked for rearrange teaching plan or content for supporting on going project work. Therefore, the key success factor is cooperative working among teachers. The results shown that students were enhanced their learning and know how to use learnt theory and technique to work in real- world situation. © 2020 IEEE.
