INTRODUCTION Vocational education plays a strategic role in preparing skilled human resources who are ready to compete in the industrial world. According to Catts et al. AuWe contend that effective vocational learning comprises two equally important dimensions: . learning as the acquisition of vocational knowledge and . learning as the contextualized . ocio-political and cultura. application of that knowledge. Ay Wenrich and Galloway . stated that vocational education is equivalent to technical education and occupational education. The terms vocational education, technical education. Jurnal Dinamika Vokasional Teknik Mesin. Volume. 10 No. April 2. 92 and occupational education can be used interchangeably. Vocational high schools are required to provide learning that focuses on developing skills to adapt to the industrial world, enabling students to respond to the advancement of science and technology (Alam, 2023. Achmad, 2. The availability of high-quality human resources in the fields of science and technology is a crucial factor in determining a nationAos ability to compete globally with strong competitiveness (Aryani et al. , 2. Vocational education plays a strategic role in preparing a workforce that not only possesses technical expertise but also the ability to adapt to dynamic industrial transformations. In the era of rapid globalization and technological disruption, industries demand graduates who are innovative, flexible, and capable of applying knowledge to real-world challenges. Therefore, strengthening the relevance of vocational high school curricula with industrial needs is essential to ensure that graduates are not only employable but also able to contribute to sustainable national development and international Although these terms carry different connotations, all three refer to education aimed at preparing individuals for work, focusing on the learning of technical skills relevant to industry One of the important subjects in the Mechanical Engineering expertise program is Manufacturing Technical Drawing, which requires mastery of manual technical drawing skills as well as proficiency in using design software according to industry standards. In this context, manufacturing engineering drawing serves as a medium of communication between the planning and implementation stages in the process of tool and machine production. Therefore, students are trained to master machine design skills in accordance with industrial standards through the use of design software such as Autodesk Inventor (Fitra et al. , 2. Vocational education is designed to equip students with both technical . skills and interpersonal . skills to prepare them for the workforce. In the context of the Industrial Revolution 0, students are expected to be adept at utilizing advanced technologies to enhance their professional expertise in industrial settings. Therefore, vocational education must undergo consolidation and transformation by addressing various critical factors to develop intelligent and competent individuals. Quality education empowers society to actively contribute to national progress and development (Roslidah N. Ferary D, 2017:. Despite this, student achievement in this subject shows considerable variation across different schools. Such disparities may stem from differences in teacher qualifications, availability of facilities, instructional methods, and student motivation. Hence, this study seeks to investigate the variations in learning outcomes among vocational high schools (SMK) in Sleman Regency, with particular emphasis on public vocational schools (SMK Neger. , aiming to provide insights into current learning conditions and propose strategies for improvement. According to Hesty . , the importance of evaluating learning lies in determining the effectiveness and efficiency of the instructional system, which includes objectives, materials, methods, media, learning resources, environment, and the assessment system itself. The demands of the Merdeka Curriculum emphasize an educational process that provides opportunities for students to develop their full potential. Therefore. Jurnal Dinamika Vokasional Teknik Mesin. Volume. 10 No. April 2. 93 ensuring the effectiveness of the learning process becomes crucial, as it supports the achievement of the desired outcomes in the field of education. Manufacturing Technical Drawing is a key subject in the Mechanical Engineering specialization, designed to develop studentsAo skills in interpreting, understanding, and producing technical drawings in compliance with industry standards, both manually and through computer-aided design (CAD) software. Mastery of these skills is fundamental for careers in manufacturing, machining, and production engineering. Nonetheless, student performance in Manufacturing Technical Drawing varies among schools. These differences can be attributed to disparities in teacher expertise, learning resources, pedagogical approaches, and the level of student engagement. While some schools have access to fully equipped computer labs with up-to-date software and certified instructors, others face limitations in resources. Given these conditions, it is crucial to analyze the variations in learning outcomes across schools to identify factors influencing student performance. This research not only compares the outcomes of all SMKs in Sleman Regency but also focuses specifically on public vocational schools, which generally benefit from better funding and resources compared to private institutions. This analysis aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the quality of Manufacturing Technical Drawing education in vocational schools and offer recommendations for enhancement.

Jurnal Dinamika Vokasional Teknik Mesin. Volume. 10 No. April 2. 95 Although the mean score of public SMKs was slightly higher, the difference was not strong enough to be considered statistically significant. DISCUSSION Analysis of Differences in Manufacturing Technical Drawing Learning Outcomes Among Vocational Schools in Sleman Regency Descriptive analysis revealed that studentsAo average learning outcomes in the Manufacturing Technical Drawing subject varied across schools. Public vocational schools (SMK Neger. generally showed higher performance compared to private ones (SMK Swast. , although the independent samples t-test indicated that this difference was not statistically significant . = 0. In contrast, the results of the one-way ANOVA among the five schools yielded a p-value of 00099 . < 0. , indicating a statistically significant difference in learning outcomes across the These findings suggest that differences in student achievement are likely influenced by school-specific factors, rather than simply the status of the school as public or private. Such factors may include the quality of teaching, availability of resources, instructional strategies, and student Learning Outcomes The learning outcomes in this study refer specifically to studentsAo performance in technical drawing using Inventor software, with a focus on drawing a toolpost. The total number of respondents was 142 students from five vocational high schools (SMK. in Sleman Regency. The data showed that SMKN 2 Depok had the highest average learning outcome, with a mean score of 74. This school implemented a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in its teaching process. One contributing factor to this result is the high competency of the instructor, who holds a CAD certification, which is included in the appendix of this study. Several factors are believed to contribute to the differences in student achievement, including: Factors Influencing Learning Outcomes A Teacher Competence Teachers with professional certifications and extensive teaching experience tend to deliver more effective instruction, which positively impacts student performance. A Availability of Facilities and Infrastructure Schools equipped with adequate computer laboratories, up-to-date CAD software, and complete manual drawing tools are able to offer a more supportive and engaging learning environment. Jurnal Dinamika Vokasional Teknik Mesin. Volume. 10 No. April 2. 96 A Instructional Strategies Schools that implement active learning methods such as Project-Based Learning (PjBL) are generally more successful in increasing student engagement compared to those that rely heavily on lecture-based instruction. A Student Motivation Differences in studentsAo interests and motivation levels also play a role. Students with clear career goals in the field of manufacturing engineering tend to be more enthusiastic and committed during learning activities. These findings align with the study by Satoto & Nuryadi . , which found that the success of technical learning is influenced by a combination of teacher competence, facility availability, and active student participation. Therefore, improving the quality of learning requires an integrated The results of this study suggest that differences in learning outcomes are more likely influenced by unique contextual factors within each school, rather than simply the public or private status of the institution. Factors such as teacher qualifications, learning facilities, and instructional approaches appear to play a more significant role in shaping student achievement. CONCLUSION Based on the findings and discussion, the following conclusions can be drawn: There are significant differences in learning outcomes across schools. The results of the oneway ANOVA showed a p-value of 0. < 0. , indicating that there are statistically significant differences in student achievement in Manufacturing Technical Drawing among the five vocational schools involved in the study. Differences between public and private schools are not statistically significant. The independent samples t-test comparing the average learning outcomes of public and private vocational schools yielded a p-value of 0. > 0. This suggests that, although public schools had slightly higher average scores, the difference is not statistically significant. Learning outcome variations are more likely influenced by school-specific factors rather than school status alone. Factors such as teacher competence, the availability of laboratory facilities, instructional strategies, and student motivation are believed to have a greater impact on learning outcomes than whether a school is public or private.
