Abstract
This study aims to improve the learning outcomes and responses of undergraduate students in implementing the PowerPoint 2010 and PheT Simulation media with modification of reciprocal teaching approach. This study was conducted on classroom action research. The subjects were forty-four undergraduate students of the Chemical Education Department of the University of Bengkulu who took the Inorganic Chemistry course in academic year 2016/2017. This research was addressed in three cycles, where each cycle consisted of four stages: plan, action, observation, and reflection. Quantitative data was gathered from the test, while the qualitative data were from the observation sheets. The results showed an increase in learning outcomes of the students from the first to the third cycle, which were 72.1, 73.6, and 80.7. On the other hand, the responses to the media and approach used in this study for three cycles were in good categories. Thus, it showed that the improvement of the knowledge of undergraduate students in Inorganic Chemistry materials.
