Abstract

This research aims : (1) to determine differences in students' science process skills who applied inquiry training instructional models using PhET media better than conventional models, (2) to determine differences between students science process skills who have high motivation better than students who have low motivation, (3) to determine the interaction between inquiry training instructional models using PhET media and conventional instructional models with a level of motivation in influencing students science process skill. The sample was taken using a cluster random class in which each class has an equal opportunity to be a sample.
