THE EFFECTIVENESS OF USING VIRTUAL SIMULATION MEDIA WITH MACROMEDIA FLASH COMBINE WITH EXPERIMENTAL METHOD TO IMPROVE STUDENTS LEARNING OUTCOMES IN DYNAMICS ELECTRICS SUBJECT FOR THE FIRST GRADE OF SMA N 1 PERBAUNGAN A.Y. 2012/2013

The purpose of this research was to find out the activity of students and the effectiveness of using virtual simulation media with macromedia flash combine with experimental method to improve students learning outcomes in dynamics electrics subject for the first grade of SMA N 1 Perbaungan A.Y. 2012/2013. The research method was quasi experimental. The population were all students at X class consist of 8 classes SMA N1 Perbaungan. The sample of this research conduct two classes and consist of 79 students, here class X2 as experiment class and class X3 as control class and define by random cluster sampling. The results that were obtained: post-test mean value of the experimental class was 79.23 and 67.50 was the mean value for control class. Standard deviation for two classes were 10.04 and 11.27. Normality test result from the both samples was normal and homogenous, the testing criterion was accept H0 if -1.67 < t
