Mathematics Learning Design using Phet Interactive Simulation to Support Students Mathematical Understanding

Abstract

. Technology has a significant role during the period of Pandemic Covid-19 to support students learning. The purpose of this study was to enhance 3rd-grade primary school students’ mathematical understanding using PhET Interactive Simulation in fractions learning. The quasi-experiment research design was administered in order to answer the research question. The participants of this study were 48 3rd grade students in Kuningan, West Java. The data were collected through tests of students’ mathematical understanding of fractions and classroom observation. The result of this study proves that PhET Interactive Simulation was significantly improved students' mathematical understanding of Fractions.
