THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A VIRTUAL LABORATORY IN TEACHING CHEMISTRY

Abstract

An important progress in computer technology and software has been realized in recent years and using of the computer in education increased as well as. The computer-based education (CBE) has been enriched using simulation and animation. The aim of this study is to carry out the effect of computer simulation and animation on the students’ success on chemistry subject and attitudes of students into chemistry. A computer-based learning packet concerning solutions is prepared for this purpose. Traditional teaching does not often allow very active involvement of pupils in class. In chemistry and natural sciences in general experimental and laboratory work is one of the most effective methods for acquiring knowledge. This article will represent the effectiveness of virtual laboratory in pupils’ knowledge.
