@article {588, title = {THE EFFECTIVENESS OF VIRTUAL SCIENCE TEACHING MODEL (VS-TM) TO IMPROVE STUDENT{\textquoteright}S SCIENTIFIC CREATIVITY AND CONCEPT MASTERY ON SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICS SUBJECT}, journal = {Journal of Baltic Science Education}, volume = {16}, year = {2017}, month = {August/2017}, pages = {Continuous}, type = {Original article}, chapter = {549-561}, abstract = {VS-TM refers to a teaching model that applies virtual media aided scientific approach. VS-TM is required to prepare students who are trained problem-solving process through scientific creative thinking opportunities and complete physics concept mastery. The aim of this research is to analyze the effectiveness of VS-TM to improve student{\textquoteright}s scientific creativity and concept mastery on Senior High School physics subject. This research involves 318 students from 3 State Senior High Schools in Jember Regency, Indonesia. Pre-test and post-test scores obtained using Sign Test and Paired Sample T-test are used to analyze VS-TM impact on student{\textquoteright}s scientific and concept mastery improvement. Such impact consistency then is observed through the calculation of n-gain achieved by each testing class using ANOVA. The research of VS-TM application on Senior High School physics subject indicates that there is a high categorized significant improvement student{\textquoteright}s scientific creativity (n-gain > 0.7) and concept mastery (n-gain > 0.8) on physics subject, before and after VS-TM application with p-value is < 0.05 and there is not any difference between 9 testing classes with p-value is > .05.}, keywords = {concept mastery, scientific creativity, virtual science teaching model}, issn = {1648-3898}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.33225/jbse/17.16.549}, url = {http://oaji.net/articles/2017/987-1503905158.pdf}, author = {Iwan Wicaksono and Wasis and Madlazim} }
