The Effect of Physics Virtual Experiments on Mastery Concept Based on Students Learning Style

Abstract

Enhancing technology be able to create each field easier with no exception in the field of Education. There are a lot of learning media making teaching and learning process work well. One of the media is a virtual media used to do physics experiments. The present study aimed to examine the effect of virtual physics experiments on students' mastery of concepts based on learning styles. The quasi-experimental study held at one of the state senior high schools in West Nusa Tenggara Province. This study used only a posttest control group design. The research sample consisted of two groups, an experimental and a control with 58 respondents consisting of cluster random sampling techniques. The results showed that virtual experiments affect the mastery of the student concepts with auditory and kinesthetic learning style trends, whereas students who have a visual learning style tendency did not affect.
