Learning Management Using Virtual Laboratory Simulation on ‘Radiation Light’ to Promote Scientific Competencies and Scientific Attitudes of Grade 11 Learners

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to develop a learning management plan using virtual laboratory simulations about light; 2) to study the scientific competence of learners before and after learning using simulations in a virtual laboratory; and 3) to study scientific attitudes for learners before and after the learning management through virtual laboratory simulation. The study group were grade 11 students at the Roi Ed school in the first semester of the academic year 2021, there were 38 peoples. The research instruments were 1) 6 learning management plans using a virtual laboratory simulation on radiological lighting with 12 hours. 2) 15 items Scientific Competency Tests, and 3) 36 items Student’s Scientific Attitude Scale with 5-level estimator. The statistics used for data analysis were mean, percentage and standard deviation.

The results of the research were as follows: 1) The learning management plan by using virtual laboratory simulation on radiological light E1/E2 efficiency was at 77.49/83.68. 2) science competence of learners After being learning management using virtual laboratory simulation was at level 5 and 3) Learner’s Science Attitude by using simulating a virtual laboratory was at the highest level.
