Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menerapkan model pembelajaran inkuiri berbantuan media virtual laboratory simulation dalam meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir mahasiswa pada matakuliah IPA SD. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian tindakan kelas (PTK) dengan subyek penelitian adalah mahasiswa kelas B2014. Instrumen yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah instrumen lembar observasi dan angket pelaksanaan pembelajaran. Kemampuan berpikir pada penelitian ini diukur menggunakan soal tes yang disesuaikan dengan ranah kognitif C1-C6. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan pembelajaran  inkuiri berbantuan media virtual laboratory simulation  terdiri dari beberapa tahapan utama yaitu orientasi masalah, pengembangan hipotesis, pengumpulan data, analisis data, pengujian hipotesis, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Berdasarkan hasil data penelitian diketahui keterlaksanaan pembelajaran inkuri meningkat dari siklus I sebesar 75% menjadi 85% pada siklus II. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian pembelajaran inkuri berbantuan media virtual laboratory simulation  dapat meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir mahasiswa yang ditunjukkan dengan peningkatan nilai pada siklus I 85 dan pada siklus II ditunjukkan rata-rata  92.

Virtual Laboratory Simulation (VLS) enhances student understanding, retention of concepts, and promotes active learning through direct visualization and manipulation of computer animations. This study aimed to develop a VLS with complementary manual for Grade 7 physics that can be utilized by the teachers to address the needs of the students in the new normal learning. The developed VLS is composed of a Teacher’s Instructional Manual and Student’s Learning Manual. The study used Research and Development approach with the ADD (Analysis, Design, and Development) model as the instructional method. These allows the researchers to analyze the need of VLS, identify the design of VLS, and develop the VLS. The VLS was evaluated based on the content quality with a mean of 4.68, technical quality with 4.65, and instructional quality with 4.57. The results for the complementary activity manual in terms of the content quality is a mean of 4.62, the technical quality with 4.54, and the instructional quality with 4.55. The result showed that the developed VLS together with the complementary activity manual satisfied the quality components and attained the intended standards. It is recommended that evaluation of the effectiveness of VLS through pilot tests in public and private schools.

Students in this modern age find engineering courses taught in the university very abstract and difficult, and cannot relate theoretical calculations to real life scenarios. They consequently lose interest in their coursework and perform poorly in their grades. Simulation of classroom concepts with simulation software like MATLAB, were developed to facilitate learning experience. This paper involves the development of a virtual laboratory simulation package for teaching data communication concepts such as coding schemes, modulation and filtering. Unlike other simulation packages, no prior knowledge of computer programming is required for students to grasp these concepts.

Work has recently begun in the Physics Department of the Manchester College of Science and Technology on an attempt to simulate lunar luminescence in the laboratory. This programme is running parallel with that of our colleagues in the Manchester University Astronomy Department, who are making observations of the luminescent spectrum of the Moon itself. Our instruments are as yet only partly completed, but we will describe briefly what they are to consist of, in the hope that we may benefit from the comments of others in the same field, and arrange to co-ordinate our work with theirs.

Abstract Modeling and laboratory simulation can help overcome of cost obstacle, time, safety and other constraints in laboratory experiments. Many skills also had the opportunity to be fostered and promoted, especially in connection with the construction of thinking skills. However, the implementation of this program required an evaluation, in order to decided whether the program will be continuing or not, in addition its needed to found the focused of on overall quality of learning in order to make a recommendation in the decision making. This research was conducted by the mixed-method approached with triangulation design, in order to evaluate the effectiveness, problems or any obstacles of the implementation of the program. The population in this study was the third semester of pre-service chemistry students at UIN Syarif Kasim Sultan Riau, which was supported by lecturers, assistant laboratory and staf. The sample selection was done using random sampling techniques. Program evaluation in this study was conducted by the CIPP model (Context, Input, Process, Product). The results showed that the program was running quite effective when viewed from the overall average grades. The evaluation about context, inputs, processes and products had the good and very good score, in which the evaluation score of context and input, get the better score than process and product evaluation. This study recommends to be a continuing improvement program of modeling and simulation laboratories, both as an exercise before the experiments or replace the real experiments. Keywords: modeling; simulation lab; chemistry experiment Abstrak Pemodelan dan simulasi laboratorium dapat membantu mengatasi kendala biaya, waktu, alasan keselamatan dan kendala lainnya dalam praktikum di laboratorium kimia. Beragam kemampuan lain juga berkesempatan untuk ditumbuh-kembangkan terutama dalam kaitannya dengan konstruksi berfikir. Meskipun demikian, implementasi pelaksanaan program ini memerlukan evaluasi, guna memutuskan apakah program ini layak dilanjutkan ataukah tidak, selain karena diperlukannya penemuan terhadap fokus peningkatan kualitas pembelajaran secara menyeluruh guna menghasilkan rekomendasi dalam menentukan keputusan. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan mixed-method desain triangulasi, guna mengevaluasi sebab-sebab efektifitas, kendala ataupun kegagalan pelaksanaan program. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa semester III jurusan Pendidikan Kimia UIN Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau, yang didukung oleh dosen, asisten laboratorium dan laboran dan pemilihan sampel dilakukan menggunakan teknik random sampling. Evaluasi program dalam penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan model CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa program ini berjalan cukup efektif jika dilihat dari rata-rata keseluruhan nilai, mulai dari context, input, proses dan produk yang berada pada skor baik dan sangat baik, di mana skor evaluasi context dan input, lebih baik dibanding proses dan produk. Penelitian ini memberikan rekomendasi untuk terus meningkatkan penggunaan pemodelan dan simulasi laboratorium kimia, baik sebagai latihan sebelum praktikum maupun menggantikan praktikum yang sesungguhnya.
