- Abstract
Vocational education becomes a bridge for students between their school life and working life. The programs of this education are designed for equipping students with competencies that will be beneficial for their future careers. This makes the cooperation between industries or the world of work with this educational type inevitable to be done because of its high importance. Educational practicum and industrial internship gives real-life work experiences for the students to be ready to work after school life. This paper aims to discuss theoretically the potential benefits of developing and implementing a platform based on metacognition in practicum and internship programs, especially in project forms. The discussion will be divided into two general topics, which are what a metacognition-based platform is and what the potential benefits of the platform are. Generally, metacognition is cognition about cognition or thinking about thinking. A platform that utilizes this issue as the basis of the development could stimulate students to think about what they are thinking. This eventually makes them aware of their learning progress. If the metacognitive strategies were implemented in the educational activities, it would encourage students to have learn-how-to-learn skills. These skills are essential for today’s working life since many challenges force individuals to conduct effective sustainable learning. The discussion about those two important topics related to a platform as a projects’ guide in educational practicum and industrial internship programs would be elaborated on in this paper.
