Investigation of The Pre-Service Classroom Teachers' Views About Virtual Laboratories in Distance Education

Öz

The development of information technologies has brought many alternative methods to traditional learning environments such as virtual laboratories. Classroom teachers who introduce students to science and scientific events have a great responsibility to teach science lessons with innovative applications. The aim of this instrumental case study is to investigate the pre-service classroom teachers’ views about virtual laboratories, and the advantages and disadvantages of virtual laboratories. The data was collected from 45 second-year pre-service classroom teachers from a university in Turkey during the fall semester of 2020-2021. In the study, pre-service teachers were made synchronous virtual laboratory applications in distance education. Afterward, open-ended questions were asked to pre-service teachers to evaluate their opinions about the virtual laboratory. Data were analyzed through content analysis method. According to the findings, most of the pre-service teachers defined virtual laboratories as laboratory simulations while some others defined as internet-based, online and computerized laboratories. Regarding the advantages, participants mostly stated that virtual laboratories are accessible anytime and anywhere, and are beneficial in schools without laboratory facilities. Regarding the disadvantages, the participants generally stated that virtual laboratory experiments are not as effective as face-to-face education, and they would provide less permanent learning since they did not turn into action.
