The Model “SMART”- an Innovation for Achieving Future Success in TVET Students: An Empirical study
Journal Title: International Journal of Current Science Research and Review - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
The “SMART” school innovation project represents a significant advancement in addressing the challenges faced by students in technical vocational education and training (TVET) programs, particularly concerning their mathematical proficiency. Recent analyses of state matriculation exam results have highlighted a troubling decline in mathematics achievement among students, which poses a substantial barrier to their academic and professional success in TVET learning classes. In response to this issue, the SMART project has been designed to enhance students’ academic performance while cultivating a more inclusive and engaging learning environment. At the core of the SMART project is a differentiated instruction approach to those groups’ students according to their mathematical abilities. This method allows educators to tailor their teaching strategies to meet the diverse needs of students, ensuring that both advanced learners and those struggling with foundational concepts receive appropriate support. By creating specific groups- advanced, intermediate, and those with significant gaps—and regrouping students from different professions into new classes, the project enables targeted interventions that address individual learning needs. This approach allows for simultaneous instruction in mathematics across all new mixed-profession classes, enabling personalized support due to the equal curriculum and equal allocation of hours. This structured grouping not only helps in identifying and addressing knowledge deficits but also promotes a collaborative learning atmosphere where students can thrive. The project emphasizes the importance of regular progress monitoring, with systematic evaluations conducted every two months. This ongoing assessment enables educators to make timely adjustments to teaching strategies and group placements, ensuring that students are continuously challenged and supported. Furthermore, the project incorporates innovative and interactive teaching methods designed to engage students actively in the learning process, moving away from traditional, monotonous approaches. By establishing a comprehensive framework for educational improvement, the project not only seeks to elevate students’ proficiency in mathematics but also aims to create a holistic approach to learning that prioritizes the diverse needs of all learners. The SMART project is poised to make a lasting impact on the educational landscape, equipping students with the necessary skills and confidence to excel in their future studies and professional endeavors. By addressing the root causes of low mathematics achievement and fostering a supportive learning environment, the project aims to prepare students for the challenges they will face in both their academic and career paths.
