Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the study involved two participant groups: experienced maritime professionals with over 20 years of sea service who now serve in managerial, advisory, and auditing roles in port and shipping industries, and ten vocational lecturers with sea-going experience and extensive teaching expertise in marine engineering. Findings revealed a substantial gap between classroom-based theoretical instruction and the practical realities of engine room operations. Contributing factors include outdated curricula, limited industry engagement in teaching processes, and insufficient access to real-life engine room practice. Both professionals and educators highlighted the urgency of integrating experiential learning models to align educational outcomes with industry demands. The study emphasizes the need for curriculum reform grounded in real-world operations, competency-based assessment methods, and structured mentorship from industry practitioners. By bridging the disconnect between institutional instruction and shipboard operations, this research contributes a strategic framework for developing adaptive, skilled, and industry-ready maritime graduates in engine systems.</em></p> R.Herlan Guntoro Pargaulan Dwikora Simanjuntak Copyright (c) 2025 R.Herlan Guntoro, Pargaulan Dwikora Simanjuntak https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-04-20 2025-04-20 4 2 300 307 10.54259/diajar.v4i2.4255 Analisis Penggunaan Teknologi pada Proses Pembelajaran di TK Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal Jatibarang https://journal.yp3a.org/index.php/diajar/article/view/4274 <p><em>Technology has become an important component in transforming education in the digital era, including at the early childhood education level, such as at Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal Jatibarang Kindergarten. This study analyzes the application of technology in the learning process by focusing on the use of hardware (laptops/computers, LCDs, smartphones, speakers) and software (Canva, YouTube) in three stages of learning: planning, implementation, and evaluation. Using a qualitative narrative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations of the principal, teachers, and direct observation of student activities during the learning process. The study results indicate that integrating technology significantly improves the quality of learning by facilitating teachers in preparing materials, presenting educational content, and conducting learning evaluations. Although it positively impacts children's motivation and understanding, there are challenges in the risk of dependence on technology and suboptimal infrastructure, particularly limited WiFi access. Implications: The development of educational technology in kindergartens requires a balanced approach between technology and conventional learning methods, supported by improving teachers' digital competencies and infrastructure.</em></p> Sisca Septiani Wiwik Hidayati Copyright (c) 2025 Sisca Septiani, Wiwik Hidayati https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-04-20 2025-04-20 4 2 308 319 10.54259/diajar.v4i2.4274
