Abstract
This research aimed to study and compare the achievement of the students of the Faculty of Science and Technology who took the Fundamentals of Physics Course. They were randomized into the either treatment or control group taught by the Interactive Science Simulations and the traditional methods, respectively. The arithmetic mean and variance of pretest score of both groups had no statistically significant difference at a level of .05. The examination of Fundamentals of Physics Course was administered to the samples after 15-week experiment. Then, the arithmetic mean of the posttest scores of both groups was compared using the t-test.
The results revealed that the treatment and control groups’ percentage of arithmetic mean was 63.46 and 52.41, respectively. Meanwhile, the standard deviation of the former and latter groups was 4.94 and 4.47, respectively. Therefore, the treatment group’s achievement in the Fundamentals of Physics Course was significantly higher than the control group at a level of .05.
