Abstract

This research aims to compare the effectiveness of laboratory experiment and computer simulation methods in the teaching-learning of physics. It can done by testting the difference of cognitive achievement and science process skills for students who learn physics, on the topic of linear motion, by using laboratory experiment and computer simulation methods. This topic includes motions along a straight line with a constant velocity and a constant acceleration. The research method was a quasi-experiment with pretest-posttest experimental group design. It was conducted in SMAN 2 Wates. The population was all students in this school and the sample was the X-grade students. The sampling technique was the cluster random sampling. After drawing lots, the X-Agrade student was the experiment group using simulation and the X-C-grade student was the experiment group using experiment laboratory. Data were collected by using pretest and posttest, based on students’ cognitive achievement and science process skills. Data analysis method to test hypothesis was Manova (Multivariate Analysis of Variance). Before hypothesis testing, the pre-requisite analysis was done, that is the normality of data distribution and variance homogeneity. This research shows that (1) there were the increasing differences of cognitive achievement and science process skills between students who learn physics on the topic of linear motion by using laboratory experiment and computer simulation methods; (2) the laboratory experiment method was more effective than the computer simulation.
