Abstract

This study aims to find out the effectiveness of simulation-supported inquiry learning on year-2 student teachers' understanding of ionic compound dissociations. The total participation was 45 science student teachers divided into two groups. The experiment group consisted of 23 student teachers who learned through inquiry-based plus simulation, while the control group consisted of 22 student teachers who learned through only inquiry-based learning. Ionic compound dissociation was selected to be the main topic to teach both groups. The data were collected through a pre-test, post-test, and questionnaire survey. Independent sample t-tests and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. As a result, the mean score of learners in the experiment group performed better than the mean score in the control group. The result of the pre and post-test indicated that the learners in the experiment group understood ionic compound dissociation more precisely than the learners in the control group. This point reflects that integrating simulation in inquiry-based learning improves a better understanding of science abstract concepts, especially how water and ionic compounds interact during dissolution. The questionnaire survey results indicated student teachers in the experimental group had a perception and experience of using simulation and scientific experiment inquiry. They had a good experience with simulation and positive perceptions toward this technology model.
