Learning outcomes serve as a key indicator of the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process. In Vocational High Schools (SMK) located in underdeveloped, frontier, and outermost (3T) regions, students' knowledge-based learning outcomes remain relatively low. This study aims to examine the effect of implementing the Work-Based Learning Higher Order Thinking Skills Employability (WBL-HOTSE) model on students’ cognitive learning outcomes during practice-based instruction in vocational schools situated in 3T areas. The research employed a quasi-experimental method using a nonequivalent control group design. One class was taught using the scientific approach as the control group, while the experimental class received instruction through the WBL-HOTSE model. The research subjects consisted of all 11th-grade students at SMKN 1 Kepulauan Mentawai. Data were collected through a test instrument. Based on hypothesis testing using the t-test, the results showed a significant difference in learning outcomes between students who were taught using the WBL-HOTSE model and those who received instruction through the scientific approach. These findings indicate that the WBL-HOTSE model can be effectively applied in practice-based learning to improve students' higher-order thinking skills and learning outcomes.
