Peningkatan Kreativitas Guru dalam Penggunaan Praktikum Virtual Phet Simulation pada MGMP Fisika SMA Kabupaten Lebak

Abstract

This dedication activity is motivated by identified partner problems including 1) Lack of teacher creativity in using learning media, especially to support physics practicum, (2) Shifts in changes to the online learning process in the new normal era in 2020 forcing teachers and students to study online at home, (3) Many physics high school teachers in Lebak Regency do not know about some of the virtual practicums used to teach, facilitate and motivate the creativity of teachers and students. The development of information and communication technology in the digital era has brought significant changes in the development of the world of education. Utilization of technological developments in learning, especially in learning physics. The solution to problems with partners is to provide training on how to use PhET simulations.
