The Application of Contextual Physics Teaching Materials Assisted by Android-Based Virtual Labs to Improve Students’ Science Process Skills During the Learning Activities in Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

This paper discusses the application of contextual physics teaching materials assisted by android-based virtual labs to improve students' science process skills during the learning activities in the Covid-19 pandemic. These contextual physics teaching materials are applied to students from two classes, model and implementation class. Based on the research data, the comparison of students' pre-test and post-test results in the model and implementation class was comparable. Students in those classes experienced an improvement in science process skills. The research data signify that the application of contextual physics teaching materials assisted by android- based virtual labs can improve students' science process skills during the learning activities in the Covid-19 pandemic.
