Abstract

This study aims to test the effectiveness of developing modern physics learning tools using an inquiry model with the help of PhET virtual media in improving cognitive learning outcomes, science process skills, and creativity of prospective teacher students. The development of these learning tools uses a 4D development research model, namely define, design, develop and disseminate. The sample used in this study were all undergraduate students in one class who took modern physics courses with a total of 20 people. The tests given are in the form of cognitive tests, science processing skills tests, and creativity tests. The improvement in learning outcomes was analyzed using the N-gain test. The results of the N-gain analysis for all aspects indicate that the use of these devices has increased, namely cognitive learning outcomes, science process skills, and student creativity with a high category. These results indicate that the use of physics learning tools modern use of the inquiry model with the help of virtual media PhET is effective for cognitive learning outcomes, science process skills, and scientific creativity of prospective teacher students

Summary

Introduction

Modern physics is a branch of science from physics. Modern physics is a branch of physics that deals with physical phenomena from a modern point of view to explain physical phenomena that cannot be explained classically. Modern physics is one of the compulsory courses that students of the physics education study program at the University of Mataram must take. Modern physics learning outcomes are still relatively low. This can be seen in the many students. Modern physics learning will run smoothly if good planning is carried out following the nature of physics learning which emphasizes science process skills and scientific creativity (Fatwa, et al, 2018), Munthe and Bermawi, 2009). Good quality learning will be achieved if good learning tools are available. Improving the quality of learning for a lecturer is very
