RANCANG BANGUN VIRTUAL LABORATORY EXPERIMENTATION FISIKA DALAM POKOK BAHASAN INDUKSI MAGNET DAN ELEKTROMAGNET

Penelitian dengan judul “Rancang Bangun Virtual Laboratory Experimentation Fisika Dalam Pokok Bahasan Induksi Magnet dan Elektromagnet” ini diawali dengan keterbatasan laboratorium di sekolah ketika dihadapkan dengan percobaan yang penuh dengan konsep dan bersifat abstrak, juga fasilitas laboratorium sains di sekolah tidak seluruhnya merata di indonesia karena berbagai aspek yang melatarbelakanginya. Penelitian dengan metode penelitian dan pengembangan (R&D) yang bertujuan untuk mengembangkan multimedia pembelajaran berbasis simulasi dalam pelajaran fisika dengan materi induksi magnet dan elektromagnet. Langkah – langkah penelitian yang diterapkan menggunakan alur yang dimulai dari analisis, desain/perancangan, pengembangan, pengujian dan penilaian. Analisis awal mendapatkan data dari hasil wawancara dengan dosen pembimbing dan guru mata pelajaran fisika di kelas XII- IPA, kemudian didapat pula dari angket survey lapangan yang diberikan kepada 63 siswa di kelas XII-IPA 2 dan XII-IPA 3 SMA Negeri 6 Cimahi. Angket validasi ahli multimedia dan pakar inovasi pendidikan yang diberikan kepada dosen-dosen dan guru, dan angket penilaian siswa terhadap aplikasi VLE. Dari hasil angket penilaian tersebut didapatkan bahwa aplikasi VLE yang dikembangkan dinilai sangat baik dengan rata-rata persentasi kelayakan 85,77 % oleh ahli multimedia pendidikan dan dinilai baik oleh ahli materi dengan persentase kelayakan 76,24%. Kemudian dilakukan penilaian berdasarkan hasil prestasi siswa dengan membandingkan nilai hasil tes soal sebelum dan sesudah menggunakan VLE terdapat kemajuan yang signifikan dan diuji dengan normalisasi gain. Dengan demikian multimedia pembelajaran berbasis simulasi atau VLE yang dikembangkan layak untuk diimplementasikan dalam proses pembelajaran.

This research aims to produce Virtual Laboratory as interactive multimedia on sub material the cultivation and staining of bacteria, knowing about adisability of Virtual Laboratory, and knowing about student responses grade X SMA Negeri 1 Pontianak whom get be taught with Virtual Laboratory. The research method that used is a Development Research. This method includes two stages: a preliminary (the preparation and design) and formative evaluation (self-evaluation, expert reviews, small group, and test fields). The study subject is 37 students. Be based on result of validation by validator of media and matter, Virtual Laboratory get catagorized as valid with the RTVTK is 3,55. Meanwhile the percentage of student responses at 84.15%. So it can be concluded that the Virtual Laboratory is fit for use as a media of learning

A Multimedia Manual On The World Wide Web For Telecommunications Equipment

An interactive multimedia educational manual on the Internet through the World Wide Web for commercial optical fiber telecommunications equipment is described. The Telecommunications Laboratory Manual is a vehicle for enhancing engineering education with realistic laboratory or virtual laboratory experience. The manual provides a brief system tutorial, operating instructions, on-line help, and multimedia experimental demonstrations. It incorporates block diagrams, photographic images, and hypertext links that are mouse clickable, allowing users to access documents or links describing components or processes in any order. An experimental section guides students through laboratory experiences, demonstrates selected equipment characteristics, and provides for direct instructor contact through e-mail. Other remote resources on the Internet are linked to create a global multimedia library. This paper describes the manual, its multimedia design, its use in the curriculum, and its further potential. © 1996 IEEE

IDENTIFIKASI HAMBATAN PELAKSANAAN PRAKTIKUM BIOLOGI DAN ALTERNATIF SOLUSINYA DI SMA NEGERI 1 MOGA : -

This study aims to determine the barriers to carrying out practical activities and find alternative solutions that can overcome them through a literature review. The method used is the survey method and literature review. Laboratory survey results, student opinions, and teacher opinions show that obstacles in carrying out practical activities include the lack of laboratory facilities, the lack of supporting facilities and infrastructure, the absence of laboratory assistants, insufficient time allocation. An alternative solution that teachers can do is to use a virtual laboratory. Virtual practicum is a series of laboratory tools in the form of interactive multimedia-based computer software, which is operated by a computer and can simulate activities in the laboratory as if the user were in a real laboratory. Therefore, virtual practicum as a product of technological progress can be an alternative solution to overcome these obstacles.   &nbsp

A web-based learning environment exploiting 3D virtual worlds

There is no doubt that during the last few years the learning process has been greatly affected by the rapidly evolving era of information and technological development. The continuously increasing pace in computer power advancement in conjunction with new Internet technologies have led to the extensive usage of multimedia and 3D graphics, resulting to new forms of visualization, distribution and presentation of training material. The objectives of this work are to present an integrated view of interactive 3D virtual worlds used in the implementation of learning activities through the web and to analyze and design an e-learning system based on the exploitation of multimedia technologies, the Internet and 3D virtual worlds. The proposed system provides learners with an interactive 3D virtual learning environment thus enabling them to participate virtually in studying and performing simulated lab experiments for a course in Computer Graphics. Some of the aforementioned system’s highlights include the increased management and security capabilities of the virtual environment along with additional features offering simulation of various laboratory exercises

Development of Virtual Laboratory Through Hand Motion Detector in Order to Improve Psychomotor Skills Student of Vocational High School

Abstract: The students interact directly in virtual laboratory with a simulator or remote equipment, and it is desirable that the experience will be similar to a real lab. There are many ways by which a student could attain this experience -through real experimental activities or through computer human interactions. These computer based multimedia environment and cohesive with hardware. These environments offer students a means to explore, experience, express themselves, and train psychomotoric. In a Digital Electronics virtual environment, the students can posit hypotheses about a engineering concept, conduct as many experiments as they want. In this paper the virtual laboratory design based on macromedia flash (software) and hand movement detection (hardware). Have implemented a virtual lab for the user especially vocational students (SMK), making practices more interesting and interactive through user interaction with computer using a periferal with hand movement detection that provides flexibility in operating. Combination of real and virtual lab which is integrated into the course material, can enrich the learning process, increase student’s interest and curiosity, enhance the ability of psychomotor with hands-on
