Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of pedagogical and professional competencies of prospective teachers in supporting innovative learning at SMK TV Watampone. Pedagogical and professional competencies are important aspects that must be possessed by prospective teachers in order to create effective, creative, and appropriate learning processes according to the needs of vocational high school students. This study employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive method. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that prospective teachers were able to implement pedagogical competencies through lesson planning, the use of innovative learning methods and media, and interactive classroom management. In addition, professional competence was demonstrated through mastery of learning materials, the utilization of technology in the teaching and learning process, and the ability to adapt learning to the characteristics of vocational school students. The implementation of these two competencies had a positive impact on increasing students’ learning motivation, participation, and the quality of classroom learning. Therefore, pedagogical and professional competencies of prospective teachers play an important role in supporting innovative learning in vocational high schools.
