A study of effect of virtual laboratory on achievement in science of class IX students of Government Inter Colleges of Kotdwara

Abstract

Experiments are the hallmark of Physics. Scientific attitude and vision can be developed by allowing young minds to perform experiments in physics lab and observe and understand the scientific phenomena to happen. Learning through experiments encourages students to bring scientific thinking to the processes of strong, innovative and logical path between concept and phenomena. In order to compete globally, students require a strong foundation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). To this end, the development and evaluation of educational innovations in science classes have become increasingly significant. One such educational innovation - virtual laboratories - is evaluated in this study.
