Abstract

This research is based on students' lack of mastery of physics abstract concepts. Thus, this study aims to improve senior high school students' mastery of momentum and impulse concepts with the use of computer simulation. To achieve these objectives, the research method employed was pre experimental design with one group pre-test post-test. A total of 36 science students of grade 11 in one of public senior high school in Bandung became the sample in this study. The instruments utilized to determine the increase of students' concept mastery were pretest and posttest in the form of multiple choices. After using computer simulations in physics learning, students' mastery of momentum and impulse concept has increased as indicated by the normalized gain <g> of 0.64 with the medium category.
