Based on a review of previous research, student readiness and experiment skills can be improved 
with the Technology-Embedded Scientific Inquiry (TESI) model [6]. Using these models can be used 
to improve the ability of high-level scientific investigations. Role-playing can also be applied as a 
strategy used to improve students' readiness in experiments [7]. Role-playing provides real experience 
to students, encourages the development of active skills, knowledge and attitudes. Good preparation can 
improve skills, independence, reduce boredom and give satisfaction to students in practicing [8]
, 
[9].
 
Researcher gives ideas to improve the readiness and experiment skills based on technology by using 
proteus software as a virtual laboratory. Using proteus before experiment activities can be as a means 
of providing virtual experience to students before practicing. Proteus provides fitures to model various 
circuits using various types of components [10]–[12]. The results of modeling can reflect actual real 
conditions.
 
Students’ motivation will be raised with the additional knowledge through series modeling. 
Motivation will provide positive energy as an early sign to improve student performance in experiment. 
It is because students already have the same knowledge related to what will be practiced after modeling 
with proteus. It is expected that the readiness and skills of experiment will increase while the gained of 
students’ understanding.
 
Based on these problems, research will be carried out aiming to find out whether there is a 
relationship between the use of proteus on students’ readiness and process skills in laboratory 
experiment. The modelling application (proteus) is used before experiment on digital electronics subject.
