OBJECTIVE

To see the difference between

using virtual laboratory and
tradisional laboratory method
in increasing student’s
achievement.
METHODOLOGY
 SUBJECT OF THE STUDY

Selected students of 9th , intermediate, and 11th

grades of Izzet Unver Secondary School in Istanbul,
Gungoren

115 students (traditional It was carried out 115 students (simulations

learning) for a month learning )
9th grades : electrification subject

Traditional
lectures
Survey
Intermediate grades : shots subject was
applied
to the
Simulation students
lectures

11th grades : refraction of light

subject

Analysis

The data of this research was analyzed

statistically by using SPSS software and t-test
analysis was used in order to test the
significance of difference between mean
scores.

CONCLUSION
There are a significant difference between traditional lecturing and
lecturing with simulations in some aspect

• motivating students
• increasing the popularity and attractiveness of the lessons,
• increasing the learning speeds of students
• increasing the learning of the students
• presenting the content of the lessons in a rich format
• using as an instrument for accessing information
• organizating of the information and integrating students with the
lessons
 It is concluded that experiment
simulations are more effective
than traditional teaching methods
in accessing documents, images
and information.
