Kehadiran guru, tahap pencapaian pelajar, kemahiran pembelajaran dan sikap dalam pembelajaran sains fizik melalui kaedah pembelajaran berbantukan komputer

Report by the Aceh Education Department showed that the performance in Physics among Level I secondary school (SMP) students was weak. Despite the development in Information and Communication Technology, not many teachers were using the
computer-assisted instruction (CAI) teaching approach. This research aimed to determine the main effect of the presence of teacher, the main effect of student achievement level, and the interaction effect between the presence of teacher and
student achievement level on the performance in Physics among students at SMP. The research also examined the correlation between learning skills and students' attitudes with the performance in Physics. This experimental research used a 2 x 2 factorial design.This research involved two independent variables, namely the presence of teacher and student achievement level and one dependent variable, the level of performance in Physics. A total of 68 students were involved in answering a post-test and a questionnaire. Research findings showed that the main effect of the
presence of the teacher and the student achievement level were significant. Students with teacher performed better than the students without teacher. Similarly, students with high achievement level performed better than students with low achievement
level. Findings also showed a significant positive relationship between learning skills and the level of performance in Physics. The relationship between students' attitudes and the level of performance in physics was also found to be significant for the
students with teacher. Based on the findings, the presence of teacher and the student’s achievement level are important factors in CAI. Despite students being able to learn independently, the presence of teacher helped improve students’
performance further. This research provides new input in enhancing the teaching and learning methods in Science education. It also emphasizes the importance of learning skills and students' attitudes towards the learning of Science in improving the learning performance.
