Development of Project Based Learning Based Practicum Modules to Improve High School Students Understanding of Concepts

Abstract

The aim of physics learning in high school is for students to physics concepts and their relationships and a scientific attitude to solve the problems they. Based on issues in independent curriculum and condition of SHS Country 8 ST being a newly established school still in the process of building its school premises, hence the laboratory facilities are not adequate, there is a need for the development of practicum modules for physics learning. Model in this research uses Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) model. Results of the trial on grade XII MIPA students obtained satisfactory results for use. By using a questionnaire several questions about understanding physics concepts for this research. The limited trial results obtained an average score of 3.9 or 78% the category good, and based on the expanded trial results, an average score of 4.04 or 80.08% the category good was obtained. In conclusion “the Project Based Learning physics laboratory module dynamic electricity materials” is suitable for learning use in conditions of new and inadequate school infrastructure for carrying out practicum activities with PHET Simulation.
