electric’s subject for the first grade of SMA N 1 Perbaungan AY. 20122013?
2.
How do students act to the using of virtual simulation media combine with experimental method in dynamic electric
’s subject?
1.5 Research Objectives
Referring to the formulation of the problem, the purpose of this research is:
1. Test the effectiveness of using virtual simulation media with macromedia
flash combine with experimental method with learning without the using of virtual simulation media and experimental method to improve learning
outcomes in dynamic electric ’s subject for the first grade of SMA N 1
Perbaungan AY. 20122013. 2.
Knowing the students activity to using of virtual simulation media combine with experimental method
in dynamic electric’s subject.
1.6 Research Benefits
The benefits of this research hoped able to be empires proof about the effectiveness of using virtual simulation media combine with experimental
method to improve students’ learning outcomes in physics. And the result can
used by the people that having an interest in this research.
1.7 Operational Definition
1. The effectiveness comes from the word which means effectively, no
effect. Effectiveness in question in this research is the success of the action that is successful in the use of virtual simulation media. Is it better if
students understand the concepts without virtual simulation media than if they were given the virtual simulation media? Effectively demonstrated by
students understanding of concepts better if given the media a virtual simulation compared with no application of virtual simulation media.

2. Media is a virtual simulation program that provides a learning atmosphere
that resembles a simple situation or phenomenon Rochman, 2007:38. Computer will give a visual or an explanation of a situation and students
interact opportunity to respond to the situation. The simulation program includes text, graphics, animation, sound, and issues appropriate and
useful to replace the real situation that cannot be done in virtual class. Simulation used in this study were taken from the site did not pay
freeware. 3.
Understanding the concept is defined as an aspect refers to the ability to understand and grasp a concept and then interpret the meaning of a
material.

CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
5.1 Conclusion
Based on the research result, data analysis, and discussion so can be concluded that :
1. The increasing of the mastery of dynamics electric topic to student
that using Virtual Simulation Media combine Experimental Method significantly is higher than student who get without using Virtual
Simulation Media combine with experimental method.
Mean value of Experimental Class is 79.23 and mean value of
Control Class is 67.50.
2. Students at Experimental class is include to the active class in
learning process because the value of students activity is 67.27
3. Learning with using Virtual Simulation Media combine with
Experimental Method Experimental Class is more effective than learning without Virtual Simulation Media combine with
Experimental Method Control Class. It proved from the Gain of
Experimental Class 0.7 is higher than Control Class 0.4.
