Add Tag | Summary: | The teaching of Organic Chemistry has faced persistent challenges, such as student disinterest and low comprehension levels, which hinder effective instruction. However, advancements in science and technology have enabled the development of innovative pedagogical tools, including virtual laboratories. This study aims to analyze the impact of virtual laboratories on the teaching of Organic Chemistry among third-year BGU students at “Velasco Ibarra” Educational Unit during the 2024–2025 academic year. A quantitative approach was adopted, employing a descriptive quasi-experimental design consisting of a control group (26 students) and an experimental group (25 students). Data collection involved pre- and post-tests covering three main topics: properties of organic compounds, molecular geometry, and functional groups. Additionally, a satisfaction survey was administered to both teachers and students. The reliability of the assessment instruments was verified using the Kuder-Richardson coefficient, yielding values above 0.80, indicating strong reliability. For the satisfaction surveys, Cronbach’s alpha was used, producing values of 0.91 for teachers and 0.90 for students. Statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney U test revealed significant differences (p < 0.001) between the two groups. Results show that the experimental group achieved a general average score of 9.11, surpassing the control group's average of 7.78. It is concluded that the implementation of virtual laboratories has a positive impact on student learning, and their permanent integration into the educational process is recommended. |
