Abstract:
The pandemic caused by Covid-19 greatly affected the delivery of quality education in our country. With no face to face interaction, the learning of science concepts was heavily affected due to lack of hands-on activities in science class. Addressing learning loss by students and low result of the last National Achievement Test, alternative instructional tools must be developed and utilized in science teaching so that learns would easily grasp science concepts in order for them to catch up and accelerate learning. Thus, the purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of PheET Interactive simulation as an instructional tool in teaching, in the performance and conceptual understanding of Grade 8 Molave students. The researcher utilized experimental method of research. A twenty- item validated pretest and posttest was given by the researcher as data gathering instrument. The mean score of each of the two groups was obtained from the results of the pretest and posttest. T-test was employed to determine if there is a significant difference between the level of performance of those students who were exposed to PhET Interactive simulation than those who were not. Based on the posttest result, the level of performance of students exposed to PhET Interactive simulation was higher than students taught with regular method of science teaching. The use of PhET Interactive simulation, therefore, is an effective instructional tool in science.\r\n-S.S. Perez
