Abstract

Welding practice learning in vocational schools often faces challenges such as limited equipment, time constraints, and safety risks. This study aims to implement a Welding Simulator using a joyful learning approach to improve students' practical competencies in GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) at vocational high school level. The research is part of an ADDIE-based development process, with a focus on the implementation phase. The participants were 34 purposively selected 11th-grade students. Data were collected through practical tests (pre-test and post-test) and student perception questionnaires, analyzed using paired t-tests and descriptive statistics. The results showed a significant improvement in post-test scores compared to pre-test (from 64.2 to 77.35; p < 0.05). Students' perceptions of the media were highly positive, with an average rating of 4.00 out of 5. The simulator effectively enhanced students’ welding skills while creating an engaging and enjoyable learning environment. The study concludes that the joyful learning-based welding simulator is effective as a practical learning tool in vocational education.
