Abstract

The study presented in this article was aimed at revealing the supply and demand gaps for mechanical and automotive engineering teachers. A quantitative descriptive-comparative approach was adopted for the research and, as a sample, four engineering schools (SMKNs) were chosen in Malang, Indonesia. Data were collected by questionnaire and documentation. A chi-squared test with a significance level of 0.05 was performed on teacher supply and demand data. The result of the research showed that sample schools SMKN 1 and SMKN 11 had no significant shortage of teachers, while SMKN 6 and SMKN 12 had a significant shortage of automotive engineering teachers. However, the supply of vocational mechanical engineering and automotive engineering teachers resulting from the programmes is still very low. © 2017 WIETE.
