Integration of Phet Interactive Simulations in Online Synchronous and Asynchronous Teaching of Science : It’s Impact on Learners’ Science Process Skills
The rife of technology nowadays hugely influences the way various disciplines are taught and learned in the classroom, and Science is no exemption to that. Cognizant of this, the present study aimed to investigate the impact of integrating the PhET simulations through online synchronous and asynchronous teaching of science on the learner’s science process skills. A total of 60 Grade 8 learners of Sto. Niño National High School were purposively chosen according to their learning abilities and were randomly grouped into two the online synchronous group and asynchronous group. Applying the two group pre test and post test design model, the study utilized a validated test questionnaire along with a validated self made survey questionnaire. Obtained post test achievement results have revealed the positive effect of integrating PhET simulation in online synchronous and asynchronous teaching of Grade 8 Science in distance learning. Furthermore, no significant difference was deduced between the two teaching methods with a P value of .057 which signifies the two teaching methods viability in the teaching of Science integrated with PhET simulation. Moreover, this study concludes that PhET simulation improves the learners’ science process skills as perceived by the learners. The learners’ agreement rate of both groups is high in the statement items in the perceptual questionnaire. Thereby, the study highly recommends the integration of PhET simulation in the teaching of Science to make teaching and learning more engaging, interactive and effective in this era of massive technological advancement.

Impact of Blended Learning Approach on Students’ Achievement in Quadratic and...ijtsrd
This paper examined the effect of blended learning BL on students’ achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous equations in Ogun State, Southwest Nigeria. Blended learning is a learning strategy that supplements traditional face to face instruction congruent to the traditional lecture method TLM with computer based learning, to which students subscribe. A control group and a quasi experimental design were adopted for this study. Purposive sampling techniques were applied to select a sample of 320 students drawn from two secondary schools in which intact classes were used. The Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations Achievement Test QSEAT was developed with a reliability coefficient value of 0.82, and used as the research instrument. An analysis of covariance ANCOVA was used to test the hypotheses. All the hypotheses were tested at the 0.05 level of significance. Results showed that there was a statistically significant main effect of treatment on students’ achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous equations. There was a statistically significant effect of blended learning BL on students’ achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous equations. There was a statistically significant interaction effect of treatment control and experimental BL on students’ achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous equations. The findings of the study revealed that the student’s achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous equations was enhanced more when BL strategies were used than when TLM was used. Based on the findings of this study, it was therefore recommended that efforts be made to integrate the philosophy of BL into the preservice teachers’ curriculum at the teacher preparation institutions in Nigeria.

The learning teaching process has undergone a paradigm shift in recent years. It has shifted from teacher centred to student centred. Hence, the challenge of a teacher has become as to how to cater to the needs of all types of learners in the classroom when their learning styles vary according to their individual needs. Heutagogy is a technique of self-determined learning with practices and principles rooted from andragogy that could be responsible for the developments in higher education. This technique coupled with e-content is an innovative strategy that provides multi-sensory experience to the learners. The learners can visualize the entire content and attain mastery over the topics. In the present study, the e-content on osmosis was developed and given to the tertiary learners for learning. Pre-test and post-test were administered to the samples to ascertain the effectiveness of heutagogy integration into e-content. The results of the study revealed that e-content with heutagogical approach for learners of higher education were effective.

The Use of an Online Learning Management System to Assess the Performance of ...ijtsrd
Learning Management Systems were widely used in education, and studies have demonstrated that they boost student achievement. This studys goal was to confirm the findings of the related studies in the context of the schools online learning program. Piaget’s Constructivism Learning Theory, Siemens’ Connectivism Theory, and Engestrom’s Activity Theory backups the process of the group of students who used the LMS and students who were exposed to modular learning. The study examined the effectiveness of incorporating a learning management system in assessing students’ performance. Fifty students from a private institution in Cebu, Philippines, were the subjects of a pretest posttest explanatory sequential mixed method. The mean, median, standard deviation, t test for independent samples, paired t test, and Spearman rho were used to test the null hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The studys findings show that the respondents did not perform well on the pretest, but they did exceptionally well on the posttest. Additionally, the study discovered that while there is no significant difference between group 1 pretest and posttest results and those of group 2, there is a significant difference between group 1’s pretest and posttest results but there was no significant difference in the mean improvement of the student’s scores. Respondents attitudes toward the use of learning management systems in the classrooms were positive but there was no significant relationship between the attitude of the students towards LMS and their performance. Based on these findings, it is recommended that schools develop programs in upgrading their teachers’ skills in manipulating the features of the LMS among others, teachers should intensify efforts in the use of LMS tools in teaching Trigonometry and that students should be provided with avenue wherein they can enhance their skills in technology and be engaged in the learning process.

Effects of Active Learning Strategies in Teaching Physicsijtsrd
The study utilized a quasi experimental method of the pretest posttest design with the pre selected groupings for the control and experimental groups. The study used validated researcher constructed pretest posttest questionnaires, online distance learning plans, attitude surveys, and focus group discussion questionnaires to determine the students performance. The study was conducted at a private high school in Cebu City. Both experimental and control groups underwent a pretest before implementing the proposed interventions. The studys findings showed the following results a both control and experimental groups manifested Above Average performance in the pretest and posttest b there was a significant mean improvement in the student’s performance in Physics in both experimental and control groups c there was no significant difference in the mean improvement in Physics between the experimental and control groups, and d the experimental group showed a very positive level of attitude towards the use of active learning strategies in teaching Physics. Based on the findings of the study, the integration of active learning strategies to the group with less teacher presence acts only as facilitator proved to be as effective as the group who received explicit teaching from the teacher in teaching Physics. In addition, it did not only enhance the students’ performance as manifested by their comparable performance with the other group but was also influential in developing a positive attitude that affected their performance. The theories of Direct Instruction by Siegfried Engelmann and Douglas Carnine believe that teacher centered teaching strategies are effective in teaching Physics since the teacher explicitly teaches and helps the students understand the lessons. Constructivism Learning by Jean Piaget states that involving the students actively and exposing them to activities that will engage them in the teaching and learning process by interacting with their actual experiences were confirmed by this studys findings. The study advises curriculum designers to provide several active learning activities that encourage student engagement and participation and apply dynamic teaching techniques in Physics instruction. Additionally, to help them overcome the challenge, students should be offered various learning methodologies, and future researchers should conduct a comparative study on face to face training.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

Integration of Phet Interactive Simulations in Online Synchronous and Asynchronous Teaching of Science : It’s Impact on Learners’ Science Process Skills
2. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470

processes, knowledge, and skills in Physics. They
agreed that ICT-assisted teaching gadgets, resources,
and models could improve learners' academic
performance significantly.
Astutik and Prahani (2018) discovered that when
Collaborative Creativity Learning was paired with
PhET simulations, Junior High School learners in
Indonesia significantly improved their Scientific
Creativity. In addition, Manao et al. (2021) and Prima
et al. (2018) found out that PhET boosted learners'
enthusiasm to participate in class by allowing them to
investigate abstract concepts eagerly. Although PhET
simulations were originally made according to the
Physics education concepts, surveys with learners,
and class observations (Özcan et al., 2020), it must be
put into account that PhET is not exclusively for
physics anymore; it has penetrated other fields like
chemistry and biology (Taibu et al., 2021). However,
there are still few studies conducted on the effective
use of PhET simulation in other science fields like
Chemistry to bring out the inclusive effect of using
PhET simulation.
The foregoing studies only concentrated on the
effectiveness of PhET simulation in science teaching
in the classroom. Now, in distance learning, PhET is
commonly employed through synchronous online
teaching. Although PhET is proven to be an effective
tool in teaching Physics, there are no studies yet that
support its effectiveness in improving the science
process skills of the learners in Chemistry in distance
learning in the Philippines, and more specifically in
the school under study where many students fared
dismally in the said subject as evident on the mean
percentage score (MPS) in the last two school years.
Furthermore, since the online teaching and learning
process is challenged by affecting factors such as the
availability of gadgets of the learners, the time
schedules of the teacher and the learners in dealing
with synchronous online classes, the learning styles of
the learners in coping up the distance learning
modalities, and the slow internet connection, the
teacher needs to be more flexible, creative, and
adaptive in delivering the lessons in the distance
learning.
Based on the preceding arguments, the result of this
study would be extremely beneficial to the learners in
grasping Chemistry ideas in distance learning, as it is
based on the principle that teaching science is only
effective when learners participate in interactive
activities such as simulations. Moreover, this
intervention could be a strong potential to improve
the perennial low achievement scores of the Grade 8
learners in Chemistry with an average of 67.34 MPS.
Furthermore, despite the distance form of education,
PhET simulation can be a solid exercise to be
implemented into learning modules or activity sheets
for learners to enjoy flexible, engaging learning. In
this context, the researcher will integrate the use of
PhET simulations in order to assess the effective
strategies in employing PhET and to determine its
effect on the learners' science process skills and
academic performance in Sto. Niňo National High
School, Sto. Niňo, San Agustin, Surigao del Sur in
distance learning.
Theoretical Framework
This study is founded on the following theories: John
Dewey’s Inquiry-based Theory, Lara Kathleen
Smetana and Randy L. Bell’s Computer Simulation
Theory, and Greg Kearsley and Ben Shneiderman’s
Engagement Theory.
This study is instituted on the Inquiry-based
Learning Theory, also known as learning by doing,
by John Dewey (1910). The core of inquiry-based
learning is a self-directed exploration that exercises
freedom for learners to take more responsibility for
their learning (Yunus & Pammu, 2015).
One of the characteristics observed in Inquiry-based
learning is by employing investigative processes such
as measuring, classifying, predicting, inferring,
experimenting, drawing conclusions, and
generalizations.
Corpuz and Salandanan (2007), in their book
Principles of Teaching 1, enumerated the outcomes of
inquiry-based learning: improves initiative and
critical thinking skills; builds up the confidence to
discover more; independent inquiries develop their
sense of responsibility in managing their learning;
sharpens learners’ intellectual capabilities; concepts
and facts that learners discovered themselves are
stored in their permanent learning, and; students are
effectively learned by manipulating and carefully
examining natural objects.
However, realia is not always available in the
classroom. Thus, alternatives like computer
simulations are employed to facilitate the inquiry
approach to learning.
According to Smetana & Bell (2012), Computer
Simulations Theory has a significant potential to
improve teaching and learning methods that enable
teachers to bring even the most abstract topics to the
students and incorporate seemingly unrealistic or
unattainable events into the daily teaching
instructions. Collaboration with computer simulations
resulted in demonstrable advances in achievement,
demonstrating that computer simulations had more
significant benefits than traditional methods.

Users can use simulations to record their observations
and engage with representations of events that would
otherwise be invisible. As indicated by Kearsley &
Shneiderman (1998) in their Engagement Theory,
which is a framework for Technology-based Teaching
and Learning, learners become more active and
involved in the teaching and learning process as a
result of this. The basic concept of engagement theory
is that learners should be profoundly immersed in the
teaching-learning process by participating in activities
that are relevant to them. Although such interaction
would be impossible without using technology, it is
believed that technology has the undoubted potential
to enable involvement in ways that would be difficult
to achieve otherwise. As a result, engagement theory
is a theoretical underpinning for technology-assisted
learning. Forming influential collaborative groups
that work on demanding activities that are important
to the learners outside of the classroom is also central
to engagement theory.
Despite being derived in part from theoretical
frameworks for learning, it shares many similarities
with many other frameworks. It is, for example,
entirely congruent with constructivist techniques
because of its emphasis on purposeful learning. It can
be grouped with contextual learning theories because
it emphasizes student collaboration. These theories
are significant to the present study since they support
the uses and functions of PhET interactive simulation
as a teaching tool in Science.
The primary goal of this study is to see how adding
PhET interactive simulations into online synchronous
and asynchronous instruction of Grade 8 Science in
distance learning affects the learners’ science process
skills via distance learning.
Conceptual Framework
Learning Science is more effective when combined
with interactive learning activities like computer
simulations, which allow students to explore and
discover independently, allowing them to participate
actively in the teaching and learning process.
In this study, the main goal is to determine the impact
of integrating PhET Simulations in online
synchronous and asynchronous teaching of Grade 8
Science on the learners’ science process skills in the
new normal. The schematic diagram of the study is
presented in figure 1.
As shown on the first box, the core of the study is the
integration of PhET simulation in the existing
learning activity sheets (LAS) for Grade 8 Science.
Learning activity sheets have been the primary
material used in the Department of Education during
this time of pandemic where education is delivered
through distance learning. LAS is a self-directed
instructional material aimed at guiding learners in
accomplishing activities at their own pace and time
using contextualized resources in the community.
This material is based on the Most Essential Learning
Competencies (MELC) issued by DepEd Central
Office. In the context of this study, the researcher
added an additional element in the material which is
the integration of PhET interactive simulations to
make distance learning more engaging and interactive
sans face-to-face instruction. Through student
manipulation, PhET simulations aid students in
understanding hard to grasp concepts in science by
creating visual representations.
Moreover, the study explores the viability of
incorporating PhET simulations in two distance
learning delivery modes dominant in the Department
of Education namely, synchronous and asynchronous
teaching. In this study, as an online instruction, both
synchronous and asynchronous distance teaching and
learning are aided by the internet. Asynchronous
teaching used google drive as platform where all
materials are uploaded and downloaded from. This
allows flexible time in teaching and learning process.
On the other hand, synchronous teaching made use of
google meet to conduct classes and whereby teachers
and students directly interact virtually. The study
further endeavored to find out whether or not there is
significant difference on the performance of the
students employing these two modalities.
By integrating PhET simulations in the teaching of
science, this research also foraged how this
interactive simulation affects the science process
skills of the students. These skills include observing,
communicating, classifying, inferring, measuring and
predicting. These are among the thinking skills which
teachers need to develop among students as they
study and investigate the world of science. By doing
so, all these boil down to the ultimate goal of
improving the academic performance of learners in
science equipped with the paramount skills in
scientific investigation through the use of modern
technology such as PhET interactive simulations as
relevant and meaningful platform.

Hypothesis
To answer objectively the problem number 3,
hypothesis was formulated to guide the researcher on
whether to negate or accept the findings and are to be
tested at a 0.05 level of significance:
Ho1: There is no significant difference between the
learners’ achievement exposed to online synchronous
and asynchronous teaching of Science using PhET
interactive simulations.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
The study aimed to determine the impact of
integrating PHET Interactive Simulations in Online
Synchronous and Asynchronous teaching science to
the science process skills of grade 8 learners of Sto.
Niño National High School in distance learning
modalities.
This study was conducted at Sto. Niño National High
School Grade 8 learners in the third quarter of the
School Year 2021-2022. Among the total enrollment
of 193, only 60 learners were considered the subjects
of the study. The basis for choosing the respondents
was their grades in Science in the second quarter of
this School Year (2021-2022). The 60 subjects were
divided into two, Group A and Group B. The Online
Synchronous Teaching Group was group A while the
Asynchronous Teaching Group was group B. The
content standards, as reflected in the Most Essential
Learning Competencies (MELC), discussed the
particle nature of matter as basis for explaining
properties, physical changes, and structure of
substances and mixtures, and the identity of a
substance according to its atomic structure.
Significance of the Study
The results of the study are deemed significant to the
following individuals/groups:
School Heads. The findings could aid them in
developing and delivering meaningful in-service
training for Teachers. Teachers will be encouraged
and educated to use PhET simulations in this way.
Science Teachers. This research is beneficial to
them. Teachers can utilize this as an alternative if
laboratories are unavailable and if the activities or
experiments demand expensive, risky, or difficult-to-
find items. It could also be one of the additional
possibilities in their instructional tactics for
improving the teaching and learning process.
Furthermore, this research addresses teachers'
concerns and may demand the Department of
Education to push for greater ICT integration in the
classroom.
Learners. They stand to gain the most from this
research. This will stimulate their interest in the
subject and encourage them to participate in the
educational process. Learners are aloowed to
participate in the thinking process, which aids in
developing cognitive skills. Furthermore, learners are
encouraged to use ICT in their studies and practice
self-learning. As a result, they may be able to increase
their academic achievement in the topic.
Future Researchers. Other researchers interested in
simulations and ICT-based teaching instructions may
find this valuable work as a reference. They may
utilize the outcomes of this study as a foundation for
future research on the same subject.

2. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
AND STUDIES
This chapter presents a review of related literature
and studies from which the study is anchored. It
focuses on the effectiveness of PhET simulations in
teaching science in general and the findings of
researchers on various related studies which are
considered to be relevant to the present study.
Related Literature
Foreign
Physics Education Technology (PhET) simulations
are computer-aided free online interactive simulations
originated in Colorado Boulder University in the year
2002. It was initially created based on observations
made in class, conversations with learners, and
research on physics ideas. It is available for free
because of the ongoing assistance of people from
around the world who help to fund the project's
progress. PhET is no longer limited to physics; it has
spread to other STEM fields such as biology,
chemistry, and mathematics. Through
demonstrations, visuals, and visualizations, this is an
excellent and effective alternative in traditional
laboratories for developing fundamental scientific
abilities. Learners are allowed to participate in a
game-like yet courageous environment in this
simulation. Many of the simulations in PhET are
appropriate and applicable to learners. As a result,
PhET simulations are frequently utilized in education
and are preferred by teachers in the classroom.
(Özcan et al., 2020).
According to surveys, teachers' top learning goals for
using simulations are to help students visualize
phenomena, improve conceptual knowledge, engage
them in discovery and inquiry, and encourage
enjoyment and engagement. In-class activities, virtual
laboratories, presentations, worksheets, and
homework are just a few examples of how PhET
simulations might be used. As a result, PhET
simulation empowers teachers by providing a
versatile resource that can benefit a wide range of
learners across several learning areas and in various
ways. The usage of PhET simulations is already
having an impact on STEM teaching and learning
around the world, according to the numbers.
According to the figures, PhET simulations are
already impacting STEM teaching and learning
around the world, with over 120 million simulations
used annually across 200 nations and counting.
Currently, with the COVID 19 epidemic raging, the
utilization of PhET simulations is skyrocketing.
STEM fields are inspired by curiosity about the
world’s wonder and energy to solve complex
challenges, resulting in active undertakings. Finally, a
growing number of academics worldwide are
undertaking studies on PhET simulations in their
local contexts, which is significant evidence of PhET
simulations' potential for actual global effect.
(Perkins, 2020)
Local

educational entertainment for learners in grade
schools to even graduate school (Garcia, 2021). This
generates free-to-use interactive math and science
simulations. Simulations in Philippine education
intended to provide an intuitive game-like
environment where learners could learn via
exploration and discovery. Because simulations are
employed in other fields of study outside Physics, the
acronym PhET (Physics Education Technology) is
unnecessarily restrictive. Despite this, the PhET
researchers decided to keep the acronym because it is
well-known. The PhET is a free online or download-
only interactive simulation in physics, biology,
chemistry, earth science, and arithmetic on research.
Computer simulations have different effects on
learners based on their academic position and skills,
according to research. Learners were given an open-
learning environment in which they could improve
their understanding of physical phenomena and laws
by testing hypotheses; improve their scientific
understanding of the relationship between physical
concepts, events, and variables by isolating and
manipulating parameters; and use various visual
illustrations such as animations, pictures, graphs, and
numerical figures presentations to help them
understand the material. Learners demonstrate their
understanding of the physical world and apply an
investigative technique to scenarios that are nearly
impossible to achieve in science laboratory activities
due to their complexity and technical difficulty, lack
of resources or time, or because the subject occurs too
quickly to be understood by simply observing them in
the real-world environment. (Garcia, 2021).

Salame and Makki, (2021) evaluate the impact of
PhET simulations on learners' interest in learning in
their study. In the United States, PhET simulations
are used by K12 and college learners in all 50 states,
resulting in 45 million runs per year. During the
spring and autumn semesters of 2020, they conducted
their research at City College of New York. The goal
of the study design and paradigm is to examine
learners ' impressions of the influence of PhET
simulations on their learning and attitudes, as well as
to determine PhET's most beneficial aspects. PhET
simulations considerably helped learners better
understand the concepts of the subject matter, the
lecture became smoother and more enjoyable, and the
issues addressed made much sense to the learners,
according to the findings of their study.
Furthermore, learners agreed that using PhET
simulations is simple and enjoyable (Taibu et. al.,
2021). It offers new learning chances as an alternative
to typical laboratory settings, and it helps learners
improve their scientific abilities and academic
achievement. The researchers concluded that PhET
simulations had a remarkable impact on the learners’
attitude toward learning science: learners enhanced
clear understanding of the physics concepts because
of the various tools available in the PhET simulations,
and; understanding complex topics, including the
abstract concepts, were made possible for the learners
(Puspita Sani & Kuntjoro, 2018). Finally, the findings
of this study back up the assertion that general
chemistry laboratories need to be upgraded and
expanded to accommodate new technology and be
offered to learners in the most convenient manner
possible.
According to Sulisworo et al. (2019), a study
conducted at Ahmad Dahlan University in Indonesia
looked into a hypothetical deductive technique helped
by PhET simulations on tenth-grade learners' critical
thinking skills. The Critical Thinking Skills were
measured using non-routine issues, and the results
show that PhET simulations can considerably
increase CTS.
According to the study's findings, most pupils fared
better in the physics course. PhET simulations, as a
technique for implementing a hypothetical deductive
strategy to improve learners' CTS, had a significant
influence on the learners because, according to
feedback, they are interesting, entertaining, and
simple to use (Astutik & Prahani, 2018). The learners'
favorable responses to using PhET simulations to
improve their CTS provide teachers the confidence to
employ ICT-based activities like PhET in their
lectures (Yusuf & Widyaningsih, 2019). The
significant contribution of PhET simulation in
applying the hypothetical deductive strategy to
enhance the CTS of the students, has unlocked
opportunities for the learners and the teachers to
explore more the technology-supported activities
(Thohari et al., 2019). However, if both the teachers
and the learners have poor technology literacy, using
PhET simulations may be difficult. As a result, it is
recommended that before using the application in the
classroom, teachers ensure that they have mastered
the use of simulations Taibu et al. (2021).
Özcan et al. (2020) found that PhET simulation is the
most feasible way of teaching global warming.
During the study, it was discovered that the PhET
simulation was simple to use. the learners were
intrigued to try it at home, that the learners had no
problem using the program, and that the PhET
simulation made the discussion more enjoyable. The
study's findings revealed that PhET simulation helped
learners learn greenhouse effect ideas in a statistically

significant way. The study's findings also revealed
that simulation methods, such as PhET, are pretty
beneficial to the course. Finally, the researchers
reiterate that simulations contribute significantly to
the development of learning by elevating the teaching
approach. It may also be deduced that interactive
techniques have a beneficial impact on the teaching
and learning process because of their easy-to-use
features and capacity to manipulate the outcome,
resulting in quick feedback.
The data results indicated that the usage of PhET
simulation is successful in the discussion of the Solar
System lesson, according to Prima et al. (2018). The
learners' reactions to the usage of PhET simulation as
a teaching tool in the learning progression are
overwhelmingly positive. When they used the PhET
simulation to learn about the Solar System, they were
excited, entertained, and amazed because they were
able to explore the abstract concepts of the subject
matter on their own. As a result, they were able to
easily answer the problem questions from the
worksheet provided to them. PhET simulation is a
medium that encourages collaboration. As a result,
learners will be more engaged in the teaching and
learning process. The higher the academic
accomplishment in studying the Solar System, the
greater the learner's enthusiasm and interest.
Local
Batuyong and Antonio (2018) studied the impact of
PhET simulation on learners' performance and
learning experiences in electromagnetism. Based on
the data gathered, the generated PhET simulations are
incredibly significant in learning outcomes, guidance
characteristics, and assessment. They further looked
at the impact of PhET simulation on learners'
electromagnetic performance and learning
experiences. The created PhET simulations are highly
significant in learning outcomes, guidance qualities,
and assessment, based on the data acquired. The
findings and positive feedback from the learners
reveal that the produced PhET simulations are
valuable. As a result, they are recommended for use
in classrooms to help learners understand physical
sciencie concepts.
According to Taneo and Moleño (2021) findings, the
astonishing difference between the pre-test and post-
test outcomes of learners utilizing the PhET
interactive simulation tool as a teaching strategy. The
PhET simulation approach, according to the data, can
significantly increase learners' academic performance
in Physics. Based on the findings and conclusions of
the study, the researchers recommended adopting
PhET interactive simulation to improve learners'
learning capacities in Physics.
Mallari (2020) found that while conducting the
activities in the class discussion, the learners were
very enthusiastic, extremely interested, and
entertained while also being challenged. The findings
concluded that incorporating a PhET interactive
simulation-based teaching strategy improves the
performance of grade 7 learners in science; PhET
simulation-based activities such as computer-aided
instruction encourage learners to be engaged and
participate in class, and; the use of PhET simulation-
based activities saves time for teachers and learners in
science laboratory experiments.
According to Marces and Caballes (2019), the
experimental group those who utilized PhET
simulation performed better than the control group
(who used actual laboratory activities). As a result,
the following conclusions were drawn: the PhET
interactive simulation is effective as an additional
learning option because it caters to learning
competencies in the K-12 curriculum; the PhET
simulation is beneficial to the academic improvement
of grade 10 learners in Physics; the interactive
simulation can be a substitute for topics with
insufficient or available instructional materials (Linog
et al., 2013). Based on the findings, the following
suggestions were made; science teachers must use
PhET simulation for the identified topics with no
available instruments in order to be more effective;
curriculum designers and science teachers must
develop additional interactive simulations like PhET
that align with the learning competencies under the
K-12 program; a relevant study that covers other
topics with the use of PhET simulation; and a relevant
study that covers other topics with the use of PhET
simulation.
The study conducted by Constante et al., (n.d.)
showed that eighth-grade learners subjected in the
study who were commonly female achieved an
impressive, very satisfactory performance in seventh-
grade Physics. The findings of the study revealed that
the control group and experimental group had a
remarkable improvement in mean scores from pre-test
to post-test. Nevertheless, the experimental group
tallied a higher mean difference of 12.21 than to
control group, which only tallied a mean difference of
9.06. As to the performance level in the post-test of
eight grade learners, the findings showed that most of
the experimental group had a better performance
(48.5%) level after being exposed to Interactive
Computer Simulation Strategy. While on the other
hand, most of the learners in the control group
achieved an average performance (51.15) level once
exposed to Traditional Teaching Strategy, which is
comparatively lower than the experimental group.

Generally, the results strongly recommend that
science teachers especially who do not specializing in
physics, shall consider the use of Interactive
Simulation in teaching physics (Taneo & Moleño,
2021).
Synthesis
Several studies have been conducted to test the effect
of the use of PhET simulations to improve the
academic performance of the learners in the science
subject. The common findings among the related
studies revealed that PhET simulations is an effective
tool to trigger the interest of the learners to participate
in the class and involve them in the discussion,
allowing them to learn by themselves because of the
easy-to-use features of the simulation, thus, the
significant increase of post-test MPS.
Studies have proven that PhET simulations can help
enhance learning independence and necessary skills
of the learners like critical thinking skills. Moreover,
PhET simulations is an influential media used in
teaching strategies like hypothetical deductive
strategy, collaborative creativity learning, and
inquiry-based learning. However, among the fields of
science, Physics is the most focus of the past studies.
Other fields like Chemistry are less concentrated. In
fact, no studies on the use of PhET simulations in
improving the science process skills of the learners
have been conducted in the Philippines.
The preceding studies were only focused on the
synchronous teaching of science using PhET
simulations in the classroom or computer laboratory
setting, where a teacher has instruction to the learners.
Furthermore, no studies on the use of PhET
simulations in improving the science process skills of
the learners in Chemistry in the distance learning
have been conducted in the Philippines. Since online
teaching is challenged with external factors such as
the availability of gadgets for the learners, the time
schedules of the teacher and the learners in dealing
with synchronous online classes, the learning styles of
the learners in coping with the distance learning
modalities, and the slow internet connection, the
teacher needs to be flexible and creative.
With this, the researcher has caught his interest in
studying the integration of PhET simulations in the
online synchronous and asynchronous teaching of
Chemistry. This is to discover the effective strategies
in employing PhET simulation in distance learning
that will benefit the teacher and the learners in
surpassing the challenges mentioned above.
Furthermore, the researcher desired to explore other
applications of PhET simulations in improving the
different skills necessary for mastering science, one
of those is the science process skills. Hence, an
improvement in the academic performance of the
learners will be achieved. Moreover, this study will
help to widen the scope of the effectiveness of PhET
simulations in different modalities and in other areas
of science for it to be more inclusive.
3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter discusses how the experimental study
was conducted. It includes research design, research
setting, respondents and sampling procedure,
instrumentation, data gathering procedures, and
statistical treatment that was employed in the
completion of the study.
Research Design
This study used the quasi-experimental design to
determine the effect of integrating PhET interactive
simulations in online synchronous and asynchronous
teaching of Grade 8 Science in the new normal. In
this design, two groups of learners were involved:
online synchronous and asynchronous teaching. The
pre-test and post-test were given to both groups.
Research Locale
This study was conducted in Sto. Niño National High
School in the third quarter of the School Year 2021-
2022. The school is located in Barangay Sto. Niño,
San Agustin, Surigao del Sur as shown on Figure 2.

Figure 2 Map of the Study Area
Sto. Niño National High School is the largest secondary school in the San Agustin District, with 816 learners in
Junior High School, and 459 learners in Senior High School. The setting of this study was the Grade 8 learners.
Participants of the Study
The subjects of the study were the Grade 8 learners enrolled in Sto. Niño National High School SY 2021-2022.
Grade 8 level comprises 8 sections, 1 class is under Science, Technology, and Engineering (STE) program,
while the seven classes are under the Basic Education Curriculum (BEC). The total enrollment in grade 8 level is
193, 104 males and 89 females. Out of this number, only 60 were considered the subjects of the study. The 30
subjects in each group were chosen according to their grades in Science in the second quarter of this school year
(2021-2022) to ensure that the two groups are comparable. Moreover, the researcher requested the Grade 8
Science teacher to facilitate to conduct the study.
Sampling Procedure
Data in both groups are comparable when students have the same capacity (in this case, academic performance).
This makes data more valid and reliable. Following the determination of each learner's ratings per section, the
researchers selected 60 learners as the subject of the study research. They are the learners who scored 85 percent
and above were chosen as the study's subjects. To guarantee that the respondents are comparable, since learners
from section Mendel under Science, Technology, and Engineering (STE) are more advanced when it comes to
learning abilities compared the other seven sections under Basic Education Curriculum (BEC), the class was
divided into two groups, with the remaining number needed for each group coming from section Courage who
received 85 percent and above ratings. The researcher divided the students into two groups using the fishbowl
random sample approach. Group A was subjected to online synchronous science instruction using PhET
interactive simulations, while Group B was subjected to online asynchronous science teaching.

In identifying the learners’ Science grade groupings, the researcher used the School Form 9 or the Progress
Report Card of the students in the second grading. The scale on Table 1 was adopted in grouping the students.
Table 1 Distribution of Respondents
Science Grades Description Synchronous Teaching Group Asynchronous Teaching Group

80% - 84% Satisfactory
75% - 79% Fairly Satisfactory
60% - 74% Failed
Total 30 30
After the respondents were randomly grouped, the next stage was to identify the learners who did not have
gadgets to provide them the tablets from the school, issued by the DepEd Central Office under the custody of the
ICT coordinator. The researcher requested the ICT coordinator on the release of the tablets for the identified no-
gadgets learners.
The next stage was the conduct of the two-day orientation and workshop on the proper handling of the PhET
simulations, Google Meet (for synchronous teaching), and Google Drive (for asynchronous teaching) to the
Grade 8 Science teacher and the research participant learners via face-to-face on February 10-11, 2022. The first
day was for the synchronous teaching group, and the second day was for the asynchronous teaching group. This
was to make sure that both the teacher and the learners were knowledgeable and equipped with the tools to be
used in the study.
Research Instrument
To obtain the data necessary for the study, the researcher utilized three instruments. The first one is the Unified
Test Questionnaire in Science 8 in the Region of Caraga. This questionnaire was validated by experts from the
different parts of the region. It has also been subjected to reliability test.
Another instrument used was a survey questionnaire to find out the level of application of science process skills
of the students in the integration of PhET simulation, while another survey questionnaire was distributed to
survey the challenges encountered by the users during the actual simulations. Both of these questionnaires
underwent validation and reliability test.
Data Gathering Procedure
The pre-test was given to both the synchronous and asynchronous teaching groups to ensure that they were
similar in terms of science competence. Based on the prior discussion, this test will also determine the students'
knowledge level of the studied skills and concepts.
The researcher conducted classes on The Particles of Matter and Atoms for both groups. The discussion focused
on the competencies stipulated in the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) guide. The duration of
this study was started from February 14, 2022 to March 25, 2022.
After all of the topics had been addressed, both the online synchronous and asynchronous teaching groups were
given the post-test to assess their learning. The exact tests were given in both types of instruction, and it was
multiple choices. Presented on Table 2 is the procedure for the conduct of online synchronous teaching and
asynchronous teaching.

4. PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
This chapter presents, analyzes, and interprets the data based on the problems and hypothesis of the study.
Pre-test and Post-test Achievement of Learners
Table 3 presents the learners’ achievement scores both from the two teaching methods along with their mean
gained scores in the two administered tests. As gleaned from the table, pre-test results reveal poor achievement
in all level of learners of both groups. In the synchronous group, outstanding learners got 18.9 while very
satisfactory learners got 15.9 mean score. In the asynchronous group, outstanding learners got 19.4 while very
satisfactory learners got 15.8 mean score. By the standards of the Department of Education, all these scores are
considered ‘failed’.

For the post-test results, it can be inferred that the achievement scores of the learners in two groups dramatically
increased compared to their pre-test mean score. Between the two groups, synchronous group had tallied higher
post-test mean scores of 36.3 for the outstanding learners and 31.1 for the very satisfactory learners. The
achievement of students in the synchronous group may be attributed to the feature of this method which affords
students to collaborate, help each other and learn together during the instructional process. Learning at the same
time provides the opportunity for students to have a more knowledgeable other such as their teacher or
academically-excellent students to give them scaffold during the learning process which immensely aid in better
understanding Science concepts. In the context of the study, the synchronous method allowed collaboration
among the learners via groupings activity on breakout rooms which supports the claim of Prima et al. (2018) that
PhET simulations is an effective medium that encourages collaboration, hence, better understanding to the
concepts of the subject matter (Salame & Makki, 2021).
On the other hand, the asynchronous group got 35.6 and only 28.2 mean scores respectively. It can be observed
that outstanding learners from the asynchronous group also recorded high mean score of 35.6, closer with the
synchronous group with 36.3. This can be attributed to the ability of the outstanding learners of both groups to
learn independently. In contrast, the post-test achievement of the very satisfactory learners from the
asynchronous group is lower with only 28.2 mean score compared to the 31.1 mean score from the synchronous
group. Based on the DepEd Order No. 31, S. of 2015, also known as the Policy Guidelines on Classroom
Assessment for the K-12 Basic Education Program, the equivalent Percentage Score of 28.2 is 70.5 which is
lower to the standard percentage of 75.
This result supports the findings of Yunzal & Casinillo (2020), that employing PhET simulations individually
failed to significantly increase the learners’ scores, even if learners exhibited interest in manipulating with the
simulation activities. It can be inferred that very satisfactory learners, if not reinforced by an explanation or
elaboration from the teacher or from the fast-learner classmates, could hardly grasp the Science concepts.
Test of Significant Difference between Learners’ Achievement
The statistical results gleaned in table 4 failed to reject the null hypothesis. There is no significant difference
between the achievement of the learners exposed to online synchronous and asynchronous teaching of Science
using PhET interactive simulations.

This concludes that PhET simulations, regardless of its method of application can be a potential tool for inquiry-
based learning (Puspita Sari & Kuntjoro, 2018). The results also provide evidence to the theory of
constructivism that learner-centered approach is presumed to be an effective way for the students to learn better
because they are required to explore and discover by themselves (Batuyong & Antonio, 2018).
This can be concluded further, that teachers can vary the methods in integrating PhET simulations, either
synchronous or asynchronous. However, asynchronous method must be done by group for collaborative learning
in order for the dependent learners to be mentored by the fast learners. This is a very positive outcome, since
online synchronous teaching can be challenged by various factors.

The group of students that has a higher agreement rate in the statement items in the administered perceptual
questionnaire is the online synchronous group learners with an average mean of 4.58 of the combined skills
compared to the asynchronous group learners with an average mean of 4.43. Moreover, it is notable that all skills
have almost the same mean in both groups. It can be inferred that learners of both groups have applied the six
fundamental science process skills in using PhET simulations. These support the claim of Yusuf and
Widyaningsih (2019) that employing PhET simulations can develop the learners to cooperate in the teaching and
learning process which triggers their creative thinking skills and also agrees to the findings of (Astutik &
Prahani, 2018) that Junior High School learners have increased their higher order thinking skills by performing
PhET simulations. These skills are integrated with one another, since these are the essential skills that learners
need to master for the holistic learning to happen in Science subjects. Furthermore, among the six science
process skills, observation skill has the highest agreement rate with a mean of 4.7 in the synchronous and 4.6 in
the asynchronous group. This is a positive outcome since observation is the first step among the six process
skills. The learners’ ability to make a good observation is critical for the improvement of the other science
process skills (Maison et al., 2019).
Generally, the positive responses of the two (2) groups of learners confirmed the findings of Ramadhan (2017)
cited by Taibu et al. (2021) that using simulation-based ICT tools improve learners’ creativity, problem solving
skills, higher order thinking skills, and science process skills as simulations like PhET trigger the inquisitiveness
of the learners that leads them to discover and explore on their own.
Challenges Encountered by the Learners in Using PhET Simulation
Table 6 presents the challenges encountered in integrating PhET simulations in online synchronous and
asynchronous teaching. In a 5-point Likert scale, where one (1) is the ‘strongly disagree’, while five (5) is the
‘strongly agree’, it is shown that learners of both methods did not encounter problems in manipulating the PhET
simulations which confirms the findings in the study of Taibu et al. (2021) and Salame & Makki (2021) that
learners agreed that PhET simulation is easy to use allowing them to enjoy learning the science abstract topics
because of its interesting and engaging features. Thus, the participants in their studies encourage the use of PhET
simulation in learning Science.
The positive outcome of this survey is the result of the orientation and workshop conducted on the proper
handling of PhET simulations and other media to be used prior to the implementation of the study as a proactive
measure to the conclusion of Sulisworo et al. (2019) that the use of PhET simulations in teaching will encounter
problems if the teachers and learners do not have knowledge in technological literacy.

Hence, there were no problems encountered in searching and using PhET simulation throughout the conduct of
the study for the two methods of teaching. Surprisingly, the participants in this study did not encounter major
problems in the internet connection as shown in indicator six from the table while performing the PhET
simulation activities. However, this problem is still possible to arise since internet connection can be challenging
sometimes.
Generally, all learners from both methods were able to handle correctly the simulations and were able to finish
performing the simulations themselves.
5. SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter presents the summary of findings
gleaned from the data gathered, the conclusions and
recommendations formulated through analysis to fill
the gaps of knowledge and determine the impact of
integrating PhET interactive simulations through
online synchronous and asynchronous teaching grade
8 science in the science process skills of the learners.
Summary of Findings
Regardless of their learning abilities, all students have
low prior knowledge on the topics based on their
achievements in the administered pre-test. On the
other hand, it can be inferred from the post-test
achievements of students after integrating PhET
simulations in the online synchronous and
asynchronous teaching made improvement to all
learners of the two proficiency levels; however, its
significant increase is more notable and more
pronounced to the learners in the online synchronous
group with mean score of 35.6 for the outstanding
learners while 31.1 for the very satisfactory learners.
This can be attributed through the collaboration of the
learners in the online synchronous teaching via
groupings on breakout rooms compared with
asynchronous teaching where each learner had to
perform the activities by themselves. However,
outstanding learners from asynchronous group have
tallied high post-test scores of 35.6, closer with
synchronous group. This is an indication that these
learners can learn independently. In contrast, the very
satisfactory learners from the asynchronous group got
lower mean score with only 28.2 mean score
compared to the synchronous group with 31.1 mean
score. Thus, they failed to meet the DepEd’s standard.
Generally, because of high mean scores of the
outstanding learners from the asynchronous group,
there is no significant difference on the post-test
achievement between two teaching methods, with P-
value of .057, hence, the nulled hypothesis is
accepted.
Further, students approved the statements in the
perceptual questionnaire that there is an application of
science process skills in using PhET simulations.
Based on the table presented, learners agreed that
PhET simulations enhance their science process skills
because of its creative and engaging features.
The two groups of learners have expressed their
perception on the application of science process skills
in using PhET simulations in the distance learning
wherein they agreed that activities in PhET
simulations developed their science process skills.
Moreover, the group of learners agreed that they did
not encounter problems in using PhET simulations.
Conclusions
Drawn from the findings of this study, the following
conclusions are noted:
Integrating PhET simulations in online synchronous
and asynchronous teaching of grade 8 science is
proven effective to improve the academic performance
of the learners through their post-test results.
However, very satisfactory learners from the
asynchronous group did not meet the DepEd’s
standard, hence, these learners could hardly learn
independently, although enjoyed in playing the
simulations. Therefore, asynchronous method must be
done by group so that the outstanding learners who
can learn independently can guide and tutor the
dependent learners in grasping the Science concepts.
Through this collaborative learning can be exercised
which is proven effective based on the findings from
the preceding studies.
Furthermore, because of the high scores of the
outstanding learners in asynchronous group, the total
post-test results between two teaching methods are
closer with each other with P-value of .057; hence, no
significant difference is deduced.
It is also proven in this study that PhET simulations
have the impact on the learners’ science process skills
as perceived by the learners. It was notable that
learners of two groups, after performing the
simulations, agreed the statements in the perceptual
questionnaire that PhET simulations develop their
science process skills.
Finally, there were no problems encountered by the
learners in both groups in using PhET simulations.
This can be inferred that PhET simulation is easy to
use aside from its fun and engaging features.
Recommendations
Based from the drawn findings and conclusions of the
study, the following recommendations are formulated:
Teachers are strongly encouraged to integrate PhET
simulations in their teaching methodologies for the
16. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development @ www.ijtsrd.com eISSN: 2456-6470
@ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD51801 | Volume – 6 | Issue – 6 | September-October 2022 Page 76
learners to be more engaged in learning abstract
concepts in Chemistry subjects. This studyproves that
integrating PhET simulations in asynchronous
teaching exhibited potential to be as effective as
synchronous teaching which was widely used in the
preceding studies. Therefore, the application of the
asynchronous method in integrating PhET simulations
is suggested if the hampering factors in conducting the
synchronous teaching like the challenging internet
connectivity, power interruptions, and the conflict
schedules between the teachers and the learners may
arise. However, integrating PhET simulations in
asynchronous method must be done by group not
individually, since it is proven from this study that
dependent learners could hardly grasp the Chemistry
concepts by themselves, even though they don’t
encounter problems in manipulating the simulation
activities. It is also recommended to minimize the
activities or workloads of the learners in the distance
learning because it may cause exhaustion to them that
may lead to poor academic performance.
Since the Philippine education in the new normal
limits the contact time of the learners in the face-to-
face classes owing COVID19, teachers need to rise to
the occasion and design a variety of creative and
effective approaches and strategies for the students to
enjoy the opportunity in learning despite the recent
circumstances. Hence, future researchers are
encouraged to conduct a study that merges the
asynchronous and synchronous class sessions in
improving the science process skills of the learners.
This may help in maximizing the effect of PhET
simulations in the limited-in-person classes in the
blended learning arrangements. Furthermore, to
strengthen the perception of the learners of this study,
a self-made test questionnaire which is anchored to the
science process skills is highly encouraged to test the
effectiveness of PhET simulations in improving the
science process skills of the learners. Moreover,
trainings and workshops on the proper handling of
PhET simulations is highly recommended to equip the
learners in manipulating the variables in the
simulation activities.
Lastly, the outcome of this research strengthens the
preceding studies, hence, Information Technology
experts are highly encouraged to add more simulation
activities to cover other topics not only in the
Chemistry subject, but including other fields of
Science.
