The development of student worksheets with PhET assisted to improve student science process skill

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop worksheet based on computer simulation (PhET), and to investigate the contribution of that worksheet in increasing students’ science process skill in learning physics especially for Hooke law concept. Worksheet developed for senior high school level used Research and Development approach with ADDIE model, and has already declared by the validator. Design and method used in this research was with matching pretest-posttest one group design. The research population conducted in one of private Senior High School located at Public Senior High School 1 Peukan Baro Pidie, this random sampling for research is done in grade eleven 4. As a result of this research, it was found that the science process skill of the experimental group was significantly higher than before, it means the developed worksheet can be effectively used to increase students’ science process skills.
