The Development of Student’s Worksheet of Physics Based on Virtual Simulation and Its Influence on Physics Learning Outcomes of Students

Abstract

Have been conducted the development research of student’s worksheet based on virtual simulation. The aims of this research were (1) to produce a physics students worksheet that was valid; (2) to improve physics learning outcomes of students by applying students worksheet that have been developed. This study was development using 4-D model which is covering define phase, design, develop, and disseminate to produce the student’s worksheet and the method  was pre-experimental with  One Group Pretest-Posttest Design by involving students of XII IPA 1 of SMAN 11 Unggulan Pinrang at 30 people. Physics learning outcomes collected by using choices test form instrument that was taken after students complete the assignments in student’s worksheet. The improvement of learning outcomes of physics evaluated according to the comparison of normalization gain value average, N-gain. The result of this research shows (1) student’s worksheet based on virtual simulation was valid. (2) the result of N-gain percentage to evaluate students shows that the implementation of  student’s worksheet of physics based on e-learning can improve student’s learning outcomes in high level.
