Increasing Learning Motivation Through the Application of Physics Education Technologies Combined with Experiments

This study aims to compare the increase in student motivation through the application of PhET with PhET combined experiments. The study was conducted at SMAN 42 Jakarta in odd semester 2019/2020. This type of research is a quasi-experiment with two group pre-test post-test group design research designs. The sample was 64 students. Sampling using cluster random sampling. Class XI IPA 3 as class A is applied to PhET simulation combined experiments and class XI IPA 1 as class B is to be applied to PhET simulation. The instrument used was a questionnaire resulting from learning motivation in the form of 20 statements. The results showed that there was an effect of the application of PhET in combination with experiments on learning motivation with an average initial score of 51.25 for class A and 3.53 for class B, while the final average score of 80.97 for class A and 75.81 for class B. The results of the manova test obtained the statistical value of the multivariate test component which is greater than 0 and close to 1 and the test results of between subjects effects also obtained a significantly smaller value than the significant requirement of 0,000 (0,000 <0.05) for motivation which means the influence an increase in student learning motivation so it is concluded there is an effect of the application of PhET compared to the application of PhET combined experiments on increasing student motivation.
