Development of e-handout assisted by PhET simulation with problem based learning (PBL) model about momentum conservation law and collision to train students' conceptual understanding

Abstract

The research produce an e-handout assisted by PhET simulation with problem based learning (PBL) model about momentum conservation law and collision to train students' conceptual understanding. The e-handout was developed which use to train the conceptual understanding of students, which was previously conducted a feasibility test on e-handouts. The research uses the ADDIE development model. The subjects of the research were students of SMA N 1 Sleman class X MIA. The instrument used in data collection in the form of validation sheets by experts, students' questionnaire responses, and conceptual understanding test instrument. The data obtained and it analyzed quantitatively. The result showed that e-handout development was carried out in accordance with product development procedures, validation of expert show that e-handouts have very high criteria, the results of the questionnaire responses of students showed that the e-handout was appropriate to be used as a medium for learning physics with a good category, the result of understanding the concept have improved significantly. Based on the result above, the research shows that the development of e-handouts is feasible to be used as teaching material and it is known that students' understanding of concepts in learning physics can be improved.
