This study aims at measuring the effects of fashion design education on students' competence in the Industrial Revolution 4.0. It involved 497 students of the Fashion Design Study Program of Universitas Negeri Padang, Indonesia. The data were collected through questionnaire that was developed from the predetermined indicators. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Model-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 3.0 software. The results of SEM indicated that outer loading, cronbach alpha, composite reliability, average variance extracted, measurement model assessment criteria and structural model were valid and fit. This also means that the instrument was valid and reliable. The result of the analysis indicates that there is a positive relationship between the structural model predictors; pedagogy, internship, and learning interest affected the student competence. These aspects are positive, significant, and partial predictors of the pedagogy effect on competence. Based on the variables, pedagogy is ranked as the highest aspect. There is a mediating effect of internship and learning interest on the relationship between pedagogy and competence. In order to reach their optimum competencies, the students have to take these three aspects into consideration in fashion design education. © 2022 Eskisehir Osmangazi University. All rights reserved.
