Development of teaching materials for gas metal arc welding (gmaw) practice courses

Abstract

In improving the quality of human resources, one of which lies in the quality of quality education. In this case, education has a very important meaning in human life, both in the life of individuals, nations, and countries. Therefore education must be implemented as well as possible so that it is following the objectives that have been planned. The objectives to be achieved from this study are to produce teaching materials for GMAW welding practice materials, produce teaching materials that are suitable for use in GMAW welding practices, and provide an evaluation of the effectiveness of using GMAW welding practice teaching materials after being used in learning. This research method uses the Borg and Gall development research method which is simplified into four steps, namely modified (simplified) into 4 steps consisting of: (1) preliminary study; (2) product development and validation; (3) limited trial; and (4) the final product. The type of research used in this research is the development of teaching materials in the form of practice modules, job sheets, and evaluation sheets in the GMAW welding practice course. Based on the research results, the researcher can conclude that the development of teaching materials for GMAW welding practices has been implemented properly. The revised results from the experts have been applied to the modules made so that the modules can be used properly by students.
