INTRODUCTION Building Information Modeling has become a revolutionary tool in the fields of architecture, engineering, and construction, facilitating the visualization and integration of design, planning, and construction processes into a unified digital model. Its adoption continues to grow globally, not only as a modeling tool but also as a strategy for enhancing efficiency and collaboration across disciplines (Azhar et al. , 2015. Khosrowshahi & Arayici, 2. In Indonesia, the integration of JETL, 10. Special Issue | 39 Evaluation of the implementation ofA. Rahman, et al. , . Journal of Education.

Page 39-45 p-ISSN: 2477-5924 e-ISSN: 2477-8478 BIM into educational systems, particularly in vocational schools, is still in its early stages despite its potential to equip students with highly sought-after competencies (Putra & Supriadi, 2020. Yuliana & Nugroho, 2. As construction projects increasingly demand BIM-literate workers, educational institutions are under pressure to adapt their curricula to align with these industry standards (Purnomo & Arief, 2022. Sucipto et al. , 2. Vocational high schools are essential in preparing skilled labor aligned with industrial and technological advancements. However, most still rely on conventional teaching methods, which are insufficient for developing studentsAo digital and project-based competencies (Hasibuan, 2021. Wardani & Setiawan, 2. The Indonesian government has promoted the AuLink and MatchAy program between education and industry to address this issue, yet implementation gaps persist (Rahmawati et al. , 2022. Prasetyo et al. , 2. Furthermore, limited infrastructure, lack of trained teachers, and minimal access to BIM software tools remain significant challenges in vocational education (Wulandari & Subekti, 2020. Hartono & Susilawati, 2. Therefore, evaluating the effectiveness of BIM-oriented learning programs in vocational schools becomes a strategic step toward curriculum reform. To implement BIM effectively in vocational education, several aspects must be evaluated: planning, implementation, and assessment. Curriculum planning should consider industry alignment, instructional strategies, and resource availability (Latifah & Rachman, 2022. Pranoto & Yulianti. Implementation must involve active learning strategies such as project-based learning and real-world simulations to enhance student engagement and practical competence (Sudjimat et al. Kurniawan & Sari, 2. Moreover, assessments must reflect both technical knowledge and performance-based outcomes, ensuring students are not only theoretically capable but also ready for industry tasks (Arifin et al. , 2020. Fatmawati & Sari, 2. These elements form the basis for an effective vocational BIM curriculum that can meet the expectations of the AEC industry. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Design Modeling and Building Information learning program at SMK Negeri 1 Bengkalis through the lens of planning, implementation, and assessment. Previous studies have emphasized the importance of evaluating vocational programs using comprehensive instruments to ensure they meet expected competency standards (Rosyidah & Munir, 2019. Puspitasari et al. , 2. By analyzing these three aspects, the study seeks to identify strengths, limitations, and potential improvements in the program. Ultimately, the findings will contribute to enhancing the quality of vocational education in Indonesia and preparing students to adapt to the increasingly digitalized construction industry (Liana et al. , 2024. Ramadhani & Yusuf, 2023. Maulidina & Azzahra, 2. METHODS This study employed a quantitative descriptive research design aimed at evaluating the implementation of the Design Modeling and Building Information learning program at SMK Negeri 1 Bengkalis. The evaluation focused on three main aspects: planning, implementation, and The research instruments included structured questionnaires, observation sheets, and document analysis. Respondents consisted of subject teachers involved in the program and students participating in the Design Modeling and Building Information learning activities. The instruments were developed based on standard indicators of vocational learning quality and were validated through expert judgment to ensure content relevance and clarity. JETL, 10.

Discussion The findings from the planning aspect show that the learning program at SMK Negeri 1 Bengkalis is well-structured and aligns with educational standards. The high score in the availability of lesson plans and clarity of objectives reflects effective instructional design and preparation by the This result is consistent with prior studies emphasizing the role of detailed lesson planning in achieving learning success in vocational schools (Sutarto, 2017. Putra & Ningsih, 2. Furthermore, the integration of industrial needs, although adequate, still requires better alignment with current building and modeling technologies, as emphasized by researchers who note that vocational education must adapt to rapid technological advancement (Yulianti et al. , 2020. Kurniawan & Iskandar, 2. Proper planning helps ensure that curriculum design meets the competencies required by the job market, a view supported by recent findings on competency-based curriculum development (Nugroho, 2019. Fatmawati & Sari, 2. The implementation aspect also demonstrates good performance, especially in the application of interactive and project-based learning methods. These strategies have been shown to significantly improve student motivation and practical skills, particularly in technical and design-related fields (Rahmawati & Huda, 2019. Wardani et al. , 2. However, student engagement and the use of technology in instruction still show limitations. This aligns with studies reporting that vocational teachers often face challenges in maintaining student interest and integrating digital tools effectively JETL, 10.

As supported by Pranoto and Suryani . , incorporating real-world projects and industry-standard software in classroom activities can enhance learning relevance and engagement. Moreover, active student participation is essential in vocational settings, as supported by Wahyuni et al. and Irawan & Dewi . , who argue that experiential learning is more effective than traditional approaches. Assessment and learning outcomes are also rated positively, indicating that the program effectively measures students' competencies. The use of diverse assessment methods and the alignment of assessments with learning objectives reflect best practices in vocational education (Fitriyani & Sukmawati, 2017. Arifin et al. , 2. However, the slightly lower scores in feedback and follow-up suggest a gap in formative assessment practices, which are critical for student Several studies argue that consistent and constructive feedback significantly contributes to skill mastery and self-evaluation among vocational students (Rosyidah & Munir. Puspitasari et al. , 2. Moreover, as noted by Saputra & Wulandari . and Latifah et al. , follow-up actions such as remediation or enrichment programs are essential in ensuring that all students meet the required competency levels. These practices are particularly crucial in preparing students for industry certifications or internships. Overall, the results suggest that the Design Modeling and Building Information learning program has been implemented effectively, though improvements are still needed to maximize its The moderate scores in technology use and student engagement reflect national trends, where many vocational schools struggle to fully integrate digital tools and learner-centered strategies (Handayani & Subekti, 2016. Wicaksono & Anjani, 2. Strengthening partnerships with industry stakeholders and adopting innovative learning models such as blended learning or augmented reality can provide a more immersive and up-to-date learning experience (Maulidina et , 2022. Azzahra & Nurhayati, 2. Additionally, empowering teachers through professional development in instructional technology is a key strategy suggested by multiple scholars (Hartono & Susilawati, 2018. Liana et al. , 2024. Ramadhani & Yusuf, 2. Future research and program revisions should focus on integrating emerging technologies, increasing student-centered approaches, and deepening industry collaboration. CONCLUSIONS Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the implementation of the Design Modeling and Building Information learning program at SMK Negeri 1 Bengkalis has been generally effective across the aspects of planning, implementation, and assessment. The planning aspect demonstrates well-structured lesson preparation and alignment with curriculum standards, while the implementation aspect reflects the application of interactive methods despite challenges in student engagement and technology integration. Assessment practices show that students largely achieve the expected competencies, although formative feedback and follow-up mechanisms require Overall, the program meets a good level of effectiveness but still needs enhancement in digital integration and industry-based learning strategies to fully align with the evolving demands of the Architecture.
