Abstract

Practical learning which is generally carried out in the laboratory is one of the important lessons in the science learning process, especially chemistry. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused practical learning activities to not be accommodated in real laboratories. This situation encourages the creation of practical learning innovations, namely the use of virtual labs. In this study, students' learning interest in the use of virtual labs is described which is integrated with the use of e-modules on colloidal material. Based on the results of data analysis, 74.55% of students were interested in using the virtual lab, 10.90% very interested, 12.73% quite interested, and 1.82% lack of interested. These data indicate that the majority of students can make good use of the virtual lab and are able to optimally elaborate on the learning process. However, virtual labs are not intended to replace real laboratories but can be used as supplements and media to support learning in real laboratories.

Highlights

  • The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the learning process, both in terms of theoretical learning and practical learning

  • Each sample was analyzed for interest in the use of a virtual laboratory which was stimulated through the use of e-modules on colloidal materials

  • The data is interpreted according to the level of student interest in the virtual laboratory which is stimulated by using the e-module on colloidal material

Summary

Introduction

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the learning process, both in terms of theoretical learning and practical learning. Jurnal Pendidikan Kimia Vol 13 | No 3 |172 - 179| December | 2021 the learning process cannot be carried out face-to-face This condition encourages teachers to be creative in finding solutions so that the practical learning process can be accommodated even though it does not take place in a real laboratory. The use of digital platforms can help stimulate the achievement of learning objectives. These platforms can support and assist the learning process even though the learning is in the form of practice. In addition to stimulus through the use of digital platforms, the use of digital integrated modules is one solution in helping students to learn during the Covid-19 pandemic (Harefa & Silalahi, 2020; )
