This research has been conducted at a university in Bengkulu in academic year 2016/2017. This research is a quasi experiment with nonequivalent control group design. Subjects were 70 students divided into experimental and control groups. Students of the experimental group follow lab activity using PSVL model, while the control group used the expository virtual lab (EVL) model. Students’ problem-solving skills are explored using problem-solving skills tests. Based on the data analysis, it is found that the improvement of students’ problem solving skills of experimental group and control group differ significantly. Improved students’ problem solving skills in experiment group was higher than control group. It can be concluded that the implementation of the PSVL model can improve students’ problem-solving skills.

The aim of this study was to prove whether the implementation of PARTS Strategy and the students’ anxiety gave a significant effect to the students’ reading competency. The study was an experimental study by applying Post test only control group design. The population was nine classes (420 students) of grade XI in SMA Negeri 5 Denpasar academic year 2012/2013, in which 2 classes were samples which were assigned into two groups, i.e. experimental group and control group, by a Multi-Stage Random Sampling. The research data were collected through questionnaire and test that were analyzed using Statistical Two-Way Anova. The results show that, first, there was  different effect in reading competency between the students who were taught by implementing PARTS strategy and those who were taught by implementing Conventional reading startegy (Sig.=0.004 <=0.05). Secondly, there was not interactional effect of PARTS strategy and  anxiety level upon the students’ reading competency at the eleventh grade students of SMA negeri 5 Denpasar (Sig.=0.966 >=0.05).
