Abstract:
This research develops learning materials for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) programming courses based on virtual reality technology. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on social activities, one of which is the educational aspect, has changed the learning pattern to a massive one where the learning process that should be carried out face-to-face, but now must carry out distance learning. Therefore, alternative learning media is needed to support the practicum process from a distance by utilizing virtual reality technology that is simulated using digital devices. The Software engineering models, namely: requirements, design, implementation, verification, and maintenance phases are the five primary stages used in this study, which uses the waterfall development model research method. The feasible of the virtual laboratory obtained the results of material validation, learning media, and small group trials of 12 diploma students of Mechanical Engineering at Universitas Negeri Padang. The findings of the study found that small group trials in CNC virtual laboratory can be successfully utilized in CNC programming courses. This research is expected to have implications for improving learning outcomes in CNC programming courses by using virtual laboratory technology in creating a conducive and quality learning atmosphere, so that the learning material provided can be accepted by students.
