Influencing Cyber Laboratory Conceptual Change Through Laboratory Learning

Abstract

The main objective of this study was to investigate the influence of cyber laboratory conceptual change through laboratory learning of the Newton's second laws of motion along a straight line. The study was conducted by evaluating 80/80 educational efficiency, examining what conceptual change took places when students were introduced to the basics of experimentation through the cyber laboratory. Finally, the satisfaction toward the cyber lab was earned by students. Instructional experiments of 3hours were conducted employing 38 students, a purposive sampling group was selected from first year science students’ program of the faculty Science and Technology of Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University. The findings were: the cyber laboratory demonstrated educational efficiency of 82.44/80.03; the students’ post-test achievements on conceptual change were significantly higher than their pre-test; and the students’ satisfaction of the cyber laboratory were at a good level of quantity.
