Abstract

The computer in physics learning is a course subject on the studi program of physics education of WidyaÿMandira Kupang universityÿthat aimed toÿprepare college students to use the computer as a physics learning media. The research aims to improve the understanding of physics concepts of college students by utilizing the phET simulation as a computer-based learning media. The study is weak experimental research with The One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The treatment in this research is the utilizing of phet Simulation as a computer-based learning media in physics learning. The college students are trained to use PhET simulations and explain the physics concepts present in the simulation. The enhancement of the understanding of physics concepts of college students analyzed using Gain analysis based on the pretest and posttest. The results of the study indicate that the use of Phet simulation as a computer-based learning media can improve the understanding of physics concepts of college students 5th semester of physics department of Catholic University of Widya Mandira Kupangÿwith aÿhighÿcategory.
