The Relationship between Factors and Understanding Levels of Technical and Vocational Education among Juvenile Offenders at Juvenile School, Henry Gurney, Melaka

Abstract

This Technical and Vocational Education (TVET) centered skills training is seen to be able to be a remedial measure for students who have problems and are left behind in their studies while also preventing this from continuing to happen and can also prove the effectiveness of Technical and Vocational Education(TVET). The study took place at Henry Gurney School, Telok Mas, Melaka (SHG). The issue that highlighted were the quality of education in juvenile school is not equivalent, limitations of relations with external agencies, social integration of juvenile offenders and index teenagers number involved in juvenile offenses is at an alarming rate. By using quantitative approach, questionnaires has been distributed to a total of 63 juvenile offenders who have been in SHG custody for a period of 2 years and above through simple random sampling. Data from the findingsof the study are explained well in the descriptive analysis. The overall understanding factor scores above 4.00 indicates a very good evaluation. The descriptive analysis explains the data for the level of understanding. It shows that the overall level of understanding is > 4.00, which indicates that the evaluation is very good. Pearson Correlation inference analysis is used to study the relationship between factors and the level of understanding after a normality test where the data is found normal and can be performed parametrically. Ultimately, the study's implications include offering a perspective that highlights the elements that have been identified for the SHG teaching staff and teachers dealing with troublesome students. This will enable them to approach the situation more closely, examining the factors and comprehension levels of these students while also addressing the issue through PTV skill training.
