Keywords:
Policy Implementation, Independent Learning, Block System Learning, SMK, Lebak RegencyAbstract
The implementation of the Independent Learning Block System policy in Vocational High Schools (SMK) exhibits complex and diverse dynamics, particularly in regions with heterogeneous social, economic, and institutional characteristics such as Lebak Regency. These conditions demand a policy implementation approach that is not only normative but also contextual and adaptive. This study aims to examine and formulate an effective and contextual implementation model for the Independent Learning Block System policy in Lebak Regency. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. This study develops the Van Meter and Van Horn policy implementation model by adding the dimensions of adaptability and innovation in learning implementation as mediating variables between social, economic, and political conditions and policy implementation performance. Theoretically, these findings emphasize the importance of adaptive and innovative dimensions in the implementation of Independent Learning-based vocational education policies. Practically, the resulting model can serve as a reference for policymakers and educational units in optimizing the Block System, particularly in diverse and resource-constrained regional contexts.
