Developing a Lathe-Machining Module for the Grade XI Students of Machining Engineering Study Program at SMK N 2 Klaten

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the stages or procedures in developing a lathe-machining module and examine the appropriateness level of the developed module. This was a Research and Development study employing the modified version of Thiagarajan's 4D model, consisting of defining, designing, developing, and disseminating stages. This study was carried out in a state vocational high school SMK N 2 Klaten, particularly in Machining Engineering study program. The developed module proved appropriate based on the results of expert judgments and a user response test. Material expert I and II assessed the module in five aspects and gave a mean score of 3.53 and 3.56 respectively, indicating that the module was highly appropriate. A media expert validated the module in seven aspects and yielded a mean score of 3.74 (highly appropriate). Meanwhile, the user response test in two aspects resulted in a mean score of 3.41 (appropriate).
