A meta-analysis of the effects of using PhET interactive simulations on student's worksheets toward senior high school students learning result of physics

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the use of PhET Interactive Simulations student worksheets on students learning outcomes. The method used is the meta-analysis method. Meta-analysis is a technique used to summarize a variety of quantitative research results by finding the value of effect size using a sample of 10 articles in national journals. The results showed average effect size of 1, 117 with a standard deviation of 181,1. The resulting effect size is categorized as medium. Means that the influence of the use of PhET Interactive Simulations student worksheets can improve student learning outcomes by 32,73%.
