Abstract

The integration of educational psychology and media pedagogy offers a transformative approach to teaching in vocational colleges, where practical skill development and applied learning are central objectives. This review synthesizes current research on instructional design strategies, psychological interventions, and media tools, highlighting how theory-driven, media-enhanced teaching can enhance student engagement, motivation, and cognitive processing. Key principles from behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism are examined alongside multimedia learning, gamification, simulations, and collaborative technologies. The review also addresses challenges, including digital divide, teacher competence, student diversity, and ethical considerations, and proposes future directions such as AI-driven adaptive learning, personalized learning pathways, and professional development programs. By bridging psychology and media pedagogy, vocational educators can create dynamic, student-centered environments that promote both skill mastery and professional readiness, offering practical implications for curriculum design, teaching practice, and institutional policy.
