Abstract

The Integration of Experiential Learning into Project-based Learning to Enhance Teamwork Skills for vocational learners is a process that allows learners to learn and practice independently. This can be achieved through the workplace by incorporating classroom activities that enhance student learning. It may also be beneficial in learners develop creative teamwork skills to meet the needs of learners in the age of technology and vocational education courses. It can help learners develop the knowledge and skills necessary for their future careers. The purpose of this research was to: (1) design project-based learning management of experiential learning to strengthen teamwork skills for vocational learners and (2) evaluate project-based learning management of experiential learning to strengthen teamwork skills for vocational learners The results showed that the outcome of the research is deemed to be at the most suitable overall level (Mean = 4.79, S.D. = 0.35). Based on the above findings, it can be concluded that this approach is appropriate and can be used as a guide for learning management to encourage learners to seek knowledge and build their own knowledge effectively.
