The effectiveness of the student worksheet with PhET simulation used scaffolding question prompt

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the effectiveness of student worksheets with PhET simulation using scaffolding question prompt based on student learning outcomes. The experimental design used was one group pretest-posttest design. The samples of the research were 54 students of Elementary School Teacher Education Department who take the Natural Sciences Study 2. The effectiveness of the student worksheet is viewed from the results of student cognitive learning, using learning outcomes tests. The technique of analyzing data used N-gain. Based on the results of the study obtained an increase in learning outcomes reached 0.48, which was categorized in the medium category. The conclusion is that student worksheets with PhET simulation used scaffolding question prompts are effective in improving student learning outcomes.
