Abstract

This study aims to develop the learning media in the form of a virtual laboratory on fluid concept. The method used in this research is research and development (R & D) with the following steps: (1) literature study, (2) needs analysis, (3) the design of virtual lab learning media, (4) the development of virtual lab learning media, (5) validation, (6) product trial, (7) product revision. The virtual laboratory learning media has passed the validation test stage with the percentage of achievement of 80% according to the material expert, 82% according to the media expert, and 85% according to the physicist of physics education which is interpreted very well, and 80% according to the well-interpreted learning expert. The result of the limited test to the students shows the percentage of achievement of 83% which indicates students interest in using virtual laboratory learning media in Basic Physics course in Fluid material. There was an increase of pretest and posttest outcomes tested on the learner, i.e. from 61.13 of pretest to 87.87 of postest. Based on validation test result, test and prestest post test result, it can be concluded that virtual laboratory learning media on Fluid material of development result has fulfilled requirement as basic physics learning media in one of universities.
