Abstract

Academic activities in vocational schools vary, shaped by the distinct target skills within each vocational field. Predictably, students encounter specific academic challenges and difficulties unique to their chosen field. Recognizing the importance of academic resilience as a vital component, schools play a crucial role in fostering essential psychological aspects among students. This study delves into the exploration of academic resilience among students in vocational schools, aiming to analyze variations based on their respective vocational fields. A total of 207 respondents actively participated in and completed the online survey. The self-developed instrument for academic resilience demonstrated validity (ranging from 0.539 to 0.844) and reliability (ranging from 0.705 to 0.836), effectively measuring students’ abilities to navigate academic setbacks, challenges, adversity, and pressures. The data analysis, conducted using JASP Version 0.16.3.0, encompassed both univariate and differences analysis. The results revealed no significant differences in academic resilience among students across the five vocational fields. However, a closer examination, considering both items and aspects of the measurement instruments, highlighted that students in both the maritime and technology & engineering fields exhibited low and very low levels of academic resilience. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions to enhance skills, both on an individual level and as part of the school's support system. This baseline data provides valuable insights for shaping programs aimed at promoting positive academic outcomes in vocational schools more effectively.
