Design of Virtual Physics Laboratory (VPL) on Collision Topic

Abstract

Abstract Collision phenomena are very difficult for teachers to visualize in distance learning. Facts in the field show that there are still many students who have difficulty understanding the concept of Collision. This is what causes the Collision concept to be one of the physics materials that are difficult for students to reach. This study aims to produce an interactive multimedia design in the form of a Virtual Physics Laboratory (VPL) in the Collision sub-material. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) using the ADDIE development model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate). However, this research was only carried out until the design stage. The results of the analysis of the distribution of the questionnaire data analysis of the needs of teachers and students stated that students needed to meet the needs of new learning media used to assist them in visualizing the Collision phenomenon in Distance Learning. The media used to visualize the collision is the Virtual Physics Laboratory (VPL) media. With the Virtual Physics Laboratory (VPL) design, it is hoped that it will produce interactive multimedia that is effective in helping students understand Collision material.
