Abstract

The study aims to increase a microscopic virtual simulation (MVS) for the media in changing physics learning-oriented students' conceptions on the material phase transition. One approach to change students' conceptions is to use cognitive conflict strategy simulation-aided virtual media. However, virtual simulation of changing students' conceptions on the material phase transition is still very limited, so need to be developed. The total sample in this research in 40 students (19-21 years old) and this study was conducted using a mix method with the design of embedded experimental models. The results of this study are the product MVS phase transition in the form of software and the results of the implementation of virtual media on learning physics simulation model shows that the media ECIRR virtual simulation developed in this study could change students' conceptions. It can be seen from a comparison of the average Gain normalized and quantity misconceptions before and after the use of MVS on students who have misconceptions. Judging from the consistency of students' conceptions that are in the category of Self-Consistent, it can be concluded that the misconception of students is completely remediated. MVS expected positive response from the students’ they experience that the media developed virtual simulations can help them understand the material phase transition
