The low self-efficacy of vocational students in programming within the mechatronics course hinders competency achievement. Therefore, an adaptive learning solution is needed to personalize materials according to individual needs. This study aims to develop a web-based adaptive learning system to enhance the programming self-efficacy of vocational students in the mechatronics course. This study employs a Research and Development (R&D) approach, utilizing the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). Expert validation involved media, content, and programming specialists, while trials were conducted on vocational students enrolled in the mechatronics course. The results of this study indicate that the developed system can be easily used by students for mechatronics programming, with difficulty levels tailored to users' abilities. The system also provides features such as instant feedback, discussion, progress tracking, and interactive exercises. Effectiveness testing shows a significant increase in programming self-efficacy and positive student responses (89% satisfaction). It can be concluded that the web-based adaptive learning system is proven effective in strengthening vocational students' programming self-efficacy, supporting self-directed learning, and can be integrated into the mechatronics curriculum. © 2025 IEEE.
