This classroom action research aimed to find out the application of simulation method in improving students’ comprehension about the solar system in Junior High School Equivalency Program Class VII at Community Learning Center (CLC) Ash-Shoddiq conducted three learning improvement cycles. The research method used in this research is design-based research with classroom action research. The subjects of this study were students of the equivalence education program class VII as many as 33 students at CLC Ash-Shoddiq West Bandung. We did the pretest and posttest to determine the level of understanding of students. The results showed that student learning outcomes which were presented in the form of student scores could be seen from the results of the pre and post-tests which experienced an increase in the average grade value in cycle 2 as an improvement from cycle 1, and in cycle 3, as an improvement from the previous cycle (cycles 1 and 2), while the results of observations of the activities carried out by students when viewed from the smallest percentage range showed the number was above half especially for the question indicator in cycle 1, while the highest percentage was almost close to one hundred percent is indicated by indicators of doing tasks that occur in cycles 2 and 3, for indicators answering and expressing opinions, from cycle 1 to cycle 3, showing a fairly high percentage. The results of peer observations obtained data that the learning process carried out by the teacher when viewed from the ten aspects observed as indicators of competence and learning skills above, showed a very good condition, where the ten aspects the teacher had carried out in each cycle, except in cycle 1, the teacher's efforts in providing reinforcement have not yet emerged, but in cycles 2 and 3, the teacher has been able to consistently correct these deficiencies. This is because teacher intervention through learning facilitation through simulation methods is effective in improving learning outcomes. Furthermore, the simulation method has an impact on improving the learning outcomes of learning residents in understanding the material of the solar system in the science subjects of the equality education program. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University
