Implementasi PhET Simulation untuk Membelajarkan Keterampilan Proses Sains dan Motivasi pada Materi Hukum Archimedes

Implementation of PhET Simulations to Teach Science Process Skills and Motivation on Archimedes’ Principle Topic

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan pengembangan KPS serta motivasi siswa terhadap metode pembelajaran yang diterapkan. Menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif dengan desain pre-experimental pola One shot case study, penelitian melibatkan 31 siswa kelas IX-J SMP Negeri 13 Surabaya. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes, observasi, dan angket menggunakan instrumen soal tes KPS, lembar keterlaksanaan pembelajaran, dan angket motivasi respon. Analisis data menggunakan uji normalitas, uji Wilcoxon, dan persentase. Hasil menunjukkan implementasi PhET Simulation berhasil mengoptimalkan pembelajaran KPS dengan persentase indikator tertinggi 87,10% (kategori tinggi). Respon motivasi siswa mencapai 86% (kategori sangat baik). Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa implementasi PhET Simulation dalam membelajarkan KPS dan motivasi siswa efektif. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan, peneliti memberikan saran untuk memastikan internet data stabil agar proses pembelajaran dapat berjalan dengan baik.

This study aims to describe the development of Science Process Skills (SPS) and students' motivation toward the implemented learning method. Employing a descriptive quantitative method with a pre-experimental design using a one-shot case study pattern, the research involved 31 students from class IX-J at SMP Negeri 13 Surabaya. Data were collected through tests, observations, and questionnaires using instruments including SPS test items, learning implementation sheets, and motivational response questionnaires. Data analysis utilized normality tests, Wilcoxon tests, and percentage analysis. The results demonstrated that the implementation of PhET Simulation successfully optimized SPS learning with the highest indicator percentage of 87.10% (high category). Students' motivational responses reached 86% (very good category). Therefore, it can be concluded that the implementation of PhET Simulation in teaching SPS and enhancing student motivation is effective. Based on the research findings, the researchers recommend ensuring stable internet connectivity to facilitate optimal learning processes.
