Exploring the Effectiveness of Interactive Simulation as Blended Learning Approach in Secondary School Physics

The mastery of physics and the ability to apply this knowledge may contribute to the development of the country. However, the skills of secondary school students concerning physics are less impressive. This exploratory research aims to examine the effectiveness of interactive simulation by PhET as blended learning in physics. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the pre- and post-test mean scores for the experimental group by providing a positive impact on students’ interest, motivation, the pleasure of studying in a group or self-learning, and help to study for exams. This proved that simulation as an aspect of blended learning could improve students’ achievement in physics
