Abstract

This research the purpose of this study is to compare the interaction of scientific simulation learning physical knowledge. Data collection and analysis before and after the experiment. Percentage, mean, standard deviation and t-test were used for statistical analysis. The results of the study showed the academic achievement of students, faculty of Science and Technology. Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, which was studied using Interactive Science Simulations (ISS) Pre-test and Posttest, has a significant difference in statistical 0.05 both first half and second half- semester. The posttest scores were higher than the pre-test scores. The Physics achievement of Midterm and final has a significant difference in statistical 0.05 and the final scores higher than the midterm score. The Physics achievement of the students studying using ISS and the normal has a significant difference in statistical 0.05, the academic achievement of students using ISS is higher than usual.
