Increased interest and learning outcomes of vocational high school students through the use of CNC lathe simulators

Abstract

Student learning outcomes in the NC / CNC CAD-CAM XI TPM 1 Mechanical Engineering lesson at SMK Negeri 5 Padang are below standard because the learning media used is not varied enough. This research aims to increase interest and learning outcomes using CNC Lathe Simulator. This study used the Classroom Action Research method with 14 students in the XI TPM 1 subject, which was carried out in October-November 2022 with two cycles. The research instrument uses questionnaires and test questions. The results showed an increase from cycle 1 to cycle two by 4.21% and classical completeness of cycle 1 to cycle two by 7.14%. The results of this study show that the use of a CNC Lathe Simulator in NC / CNC CAD-CAM Machining Engineering lessons increases student interest and learning outcomes.
