Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of using computer simulations to enhance students' understanding of electricity concepts at SMKS Teknologi Balam. Computer simulations allow students to explore electrical concepts interactively, thereby improving conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. The research employs a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The sample consists of two groups: an experimental class utilizing computer simulations in learning electricity and a control class using conventional methods. Data were collected through concept comprehension tests administered before and after the learning process, as well as observations during instruction. The results indicate that students who learned using computer simulations experienced a more significant improvement in understanding than those in the control group. Simulations helped students visualize abstract concepts and enhanced active engagement in learning. Thus, the use of computer simulations can be an effective instructional strategy for improving students' understanding of electricity.
