Application of PhET Simulation Media in Physics Learning During a Pandemic Covid-19

Abstract

. The coronavirus outbreak has made teaching and learning activities that should be carried out in schools now must be carried out at home with controlled by teachers and parents. Many students complain that they are burdened by many tasks and their low ability to solve problems – especially in physics. This difficulty can be caused by several factors, one of which is a lack of understanding of the physics concepts being studied. The purpose of writing this article is to identify how the application of PhET simulation media in the physics learning process during a pandemic. The method used is the descriptive qualitative method with interview techniques. Based on the results of interviews and data analysis, it can be concluded that the PhET simulation media can be used as a reference medium for learning physics during this pandemic. This is because the PhET simulation media can increase students' interest in physics. The abstract needs to summarize the content of the paper.
