Enhancing Students’ Learning Outcomes Through Simulator Program: A Case Study of using Swansoft CNC Simulator Software in Vocational Education
Year: 2024
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: This research aim to describe the student's learning outcome enhancement on using Swansoft simulator software to explain non-conventional CNC technology topic in the vocational high schools.Skills for vocational students are absolutely mandatory.CNC become a complex topic to be learned as mechanical student and also offer higher risk to use.Hence, we need a simulator to minimize this risk and reduce its complexity.Swansoft is completely to overcome this issue.Qualitative methods were used to observe the learning outcome.Data was collected by observation and non-interactive interview.Then, it was analyzed in 3 step, such: data reduction, data display, and data conclusion.From the data, it found that student has escalation of learning consciousness.Student tend to more aware before using the real machine.In mentality, student tend more ready and carefully.This research offer a novel of student's learning characteristic in using simulator soft-ware to support complex machine understanding.It could be improvement novelty for further researcher.Furthermore, this software help teacher to teach a complex topic with familiar interface in real condition.Where it hard to keep our focus on using high risk machine, a simulator software help more to minimize prospective operator in danger and having good quality learning outcome.
