Abstract

Sustainable tourism education in vocational high schools presents significant challenges in effectively integrating sustainability concepts with practical training. This qualitative case study explores how vocational high school teachers in Malang, Indonesia, perceive and integrate sustainability principles into tourism module development. Through semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and document analysis, the research investigated teachers’ approaches to incorporating sustainable tourism content and writing skills into instructional modules. The study revealed varied levels of sustainability awareness among teachers, with significant challenges including limited professional training, technological integration difficulties, and a lack of comprehensive resources. Key findings demonstrated that teachers employ diverse strategies such as role-playing, digital platforms, and interdisciplinary communication tasks to enhance sustainability education. The research identified an integrated writing approach as a transformative educational strategy that enables students to synthesize complex information and develop holistic understanding of sustainable tourism principles. The study highlights the critical need for targeted professional development programs, standardized sustainability curriculum resources, and enhanced technological training for vocational educators. By emphasizing an interdisciplinary approach to writing and module development, the research offers insights into improving tourism education’s capacity to prepare students for responsible and sustainable industry practices.
