Rachmad Resmiyanto Physics Education parsimony Technology, or PhET is a systematic effort that is responsive to the development of learning technology era. PhET developed by the University of Colorado at Boulder, USA (University of Colorado at Boulder) parsimony in order to provide teaching and learning physics simulation-based virtual laboratories (virtual laboratory) that allows teachers and students if used for learning in the classroom. PhET Simulation is very easy to use. This simulation is written in Java and Flash and can be run using a standard web browser plug-ins for Flash and Java already installed. In other words, PhET simulations is a user-friendly simulation. PhET simulations in is available for free and can be downloaded at the address http://www.phet.colorado.edu. PhET simulations of a moving image (animation), interactive and made like a game in which students can learn by exploration. Simulations emphasize the correspondence between the real phenomena and then presenting it in a computer simulation model of physical-conceptual model that is easily understood by the students. PhET simulations consist of objects that are not visible to the eye in the real world, such as atoms, electrons, parsimony photons, and the electric field. Students can interact through images and intuitive controls that inside parsimony contained click and drag (click and drag), slide switches and knobs. With animation parsimony presented the students can investigate the causes and consequences of the phenomenon is presented. For quantitative exploration of such experiments in a real laboratory, PhET simulations have measuring instruments such as rulers, stop watch, a voltmeter, and a thermometer. The entire simulation that is already tested its use and effectiveness in education (http://www.phet.colorado.edu/new/about/index.php). The tests that have been done include interviews with students, the use of simulation in the variation settings, including teachers (lecturers), working groups, homework and work laboratoirum. Finkelstein, et al. (2004) parsimony have tested the effects of computer simulations in lieu of a real laboratory in physics learning in the classroom. Simulation parsimony is used is a DC electric current simulation and compared using real lab equipment. Students parsimony are grouped into 3 groups, namely the groups using computer simulations, using real lab group and the group that did not use the laboratory. The results also show that students who used computer simulations have the most superior understanding conceptually and can explain how the electrical circuit that actually works. In the following year, Finkelstein, et al. Continuing similar studies with different treatment groups. Students were divided into 2 groups, namely students and students using PhET simulations that use real lab equipment. The results also show that the effects of learning with PhET simulations still provide amazing results (Finkelstein, 2005). Results of this study was strengthened by Keller (2005) The results Perkins, et al. (2006) also showed that the PhET simulations are very useful in physics learning in the classroom. Research parsimony results showed that 62% of respondents stated very useful in the classroom and 22% of the respondents useful. Library: K.Perkins, W. Adams, M. Dubson, N. Finkelstein, S.
