The Transformation of Machining Learning: Implementation of Artificial Intelligence-Based Metacognitive Skills in Mechanical Engineering Education

Technology learning that is closely related to industry has been popular among students in certain psychomotor fields, but their understanding of the underlying theory is not yet mature.This study aims to improve the level of student learning with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen reasoning and machining skills.The study used a metacognitive skill-based learning method with a Two-Group Pretest-Posttest experimental design.The research subjects consisted of 55 students and 5 lecturers.The validity of the instruments was tested using Aiken's V, which showed a value of 0.917 for the textbook and 0.908 for the manual.The practicality level of the model reached 86.72%.The effectiveness test showed a significant increase in learning outcomes of 16.44 (p < 0.05) and a significant difference between the experimental and control classes.
