This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the use of Phet simulation applications on smartphones Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning models of students' learning independence and the different effects of learning independence. The type of research applied was quasi experiment. Research design used Non-equivalent Control Group Design. The population in this study was all students of class X of MAN 3 Sleman which was divided into 8 classes. The sampling technique used cluster purposive sampling. Both classes are given treatment with the Problem Based Learning model assisted by the Phet application which was installed on each student's smartphone. The average level of learning independence of students in the modelling class after they participated in learning activities included in the good category, and in the implementation, class included in the good category. The significance level shows the numbers in the effective category. So it can be stated that the learning independence questionnaire of both classes was effective, it can be concluded that the Problem Based Learning model assisted by the Phets application is effective in terms of the achievement of the learning independence of students in class X of MAN 3 Sleman in the academic year 2017/2018. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
