The Influence of CNC Laboratory Facilities on Students' Learning Achievement in NC/CNC Machinery Practical Courses of Mechanical Engineering Education, Universitas Negeri Makassar

Abstract

This research is a descriptive quantitative study that aims to determine the effect of CNC Laboratory Facilities on Student Achievement in the NC/CNC Machine Practice Course at S1 Mechanical Engineering Education Students, Makassar State University. The independent variable in this research is CNC laboratory facilities and the dependent variable is students’ achievement in the NC/CNC machining practice course. The population and sample of this study were students majoring in mechanical engineering education which consisted of 30 students from the 2017 and 2018 batches. The research data were obtained from the distribution of questionnaires and documentation of learning achievement scores. The data analysis technique is descriptive analysis and simple linear regression analysis. Researchers used SPSS 21.0 program assistance in data analysis with a significant level of 5% to see the magnitude of the influence given by the independent variable on the dependent variable. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that CNC laboratory facilities had a positive effect of 21.1%, on students’ achievement in the NC/CNC machining practice course at Makassar State University Mechanical Engineering Education, while the remaining 78.9% was influenced by other variables that were not investigated in this study.
