ABSTRAKMetode pembelajaran ilmu fisika yang hanya menggunakan metode ceramah dirasakan monoton dan kurang relevan lagi. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan suatu metode pembelajaran fisika yang lebih efektif. Salah satunya dengan memanfaatkan teknologi informasi dan komputer (TIK). Aplikasi perangkat lunak interaktif berbasis Java berupa Java Applet, PhET, dan Circuit memberikan alternative untuk proses pembelajaran fisika. Hasil jajak pendapat awal dengan metode survei kepada guru-guru fisika SLTA di Kabupaten Lombok Timur menyatakan bahwa para guru memerlukan pelatihan aplikasi perangkat lunak interaktif untuk membantu dan meningkatkan kualitas proses pembelajaran fisika. Hasil survei pasca pelatihan menyatakan seluruh peserta memiliki persepsi bahwa proses pembelajaran fisika akan terbantu dan lebih afektif dengan pemanfaatan Java Applet, PhET, dan Circuit.
ABSTRACTPhysics learning methods that only use the expository method is monotonous and less relevant. Therefore, we need methods of physics learning which are more effective. One of them is by using of information and computer technology (ICT). Applications of Interactive software such as Java Applet, Java PhET, and Java Circuit provide an alternative to the process of learning physics. The beginning of survey to high school physics teachers in East Lombok Regency provides result that teachers need a training of interactive software application to help and improve the quality of learning physics. Post-training survey results state that all of participants had the perception that the process of learning physics will be helped by the use of Java Applet, PhET, and Circuit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
