Virtual Laboratory Environment In Earth And Space: An Assessment On Students’ Learning Achievement And Attitude
Journal Title: Peninsulares International Journal of Innovations and Sustainability - Year 2024, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Science is one of the most important academic disciplines, and it covers an extensive variety of subjects. It makes improvement and makes our day-to-day living more comfortable. On these challenging times encountered by education, not only in the Philippines but globally, DepEd continues to strive giving quality education for all. Efforts are put into action until it achieves the quality of education. Methods and techniques of teaching were improved, particularly the use of Virtual Laboratory for science subjects. Even on an online setting, it helps developing student’s laboratory skills. The researcher focuses on applying virtual laboratory environment in Earth and Space Science lessons to make the subject more interesting and informative to learn. It is now possible to virtually observe and hear different natural phenomena through simulations and other forms of virtual laboratories. The study focused on assessing students’ learning achievement and attitude in Earth and Space on a virtual laboratory environment with the purpose to encourage the application of advance technology for better student learning experience and learning performance. The study aims to improve student’s’ learning achievement and develop learning attitude towards science. Integrating a virtual laboratory enables enhanced knowledge and skills to be acquired actively. The study utilized a convergent parallelism mixed method. For the quantitative method of the study, the researcher chose quasi-experimental research designs with a post-test focus and descriptive research design for qualitative research design. Accordingly, the study assesses Students’ Learning Achievement and Attitude in Earth and Space on a Virtual Laboratory Environment, thru: (a) Science Skills, (b) Science Understanding, (c) Science Quarterly Grade (d) Student Participation, (e) Student attitude to learn science. These reveal the changes on Students’ Learning Achievement and Attitude in Earth and Space on a Virtual Laboratory Environment. The intervention supports student achievement amid low motivation in online class, it helps students be conscious in the application of their science skills, be more focused-learning, improve their confidence, and helps them enjoy learning. The coded perceived changes on students are believed to be the same changes towards other people.
