The evolving landscape of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) education necessitates innovative teaching methodologies that bridge the gap between academic theory and industry practice. This study proposes the Integrated Project & Context-Based Learning (IPCBL) framework, which integrates project-based learning (PBL), context-based learning (CBL), and Integrated Learning (IL) interdisciplinary approaches to enhance student engagement, competency development, and real-world application of skills. Using Design Science Research (DSR) methodology, the study iteratively develops and evaluates the IPCBL framework to ensure its effectiveness in fostering deep learning and problem-solving skills. The framework is tested within an ICT module focusing on the Internet of Things (IoT), where students engage in capstone projects that progressively build technical and analytical skills while aligning with industry requirements. Through an industry-aligned curriculum incorporating external certifications, the IPCBL framework successfully enhances student motivation, critical thinking, and professional readiness. The study further explores technical considerations, assessment methodologies, and scalability of the framework within higher education. Results indicate that IPCBL fosters a structured learning approach that aligns academic outcomes with workforce expectations. Future research will focus on refining the framework, incorporating structured curriculum rubrics, and optimizing external training integration. Ultimately, the IPCBL framework contributes to ICT education by promoting an integrated, skill-based, and industry-relevant learning experience.
