The development of simulation and game in 5E learning cycle to teach photoelectric effect for grade 12 students

Previous Contents Next


Conclusions and Implications

This study shows that the simulation and game can be incorporated in the 5E learning cycle context and are able to significantly help grade 12 students improve their understanding of photoelectric effect and have positive attitudes towards learning photoelectric effect. Specifically, the created simulation help concretize the abstractness of photoelectric effect and the created game help make learning photoelectric effect with enjoyment. There are many other topics in physics, especially abstract ones, that can be and/or should be taught by simulation and game. This study also shows that the 5E learning cycle can be employed as a learning context for incorporating the well-constructed simulation and game in. The stronger experimental research design may be needed for further studies in order to make more stronger claims. The audience who is interested to get and use the simulation and game created in this study can contact and ask for the permission from the correspondence author via e-mail.
