Abstract
Study Title: The Effect of using virtual labs in
enriching the third class students ,at high schools –Jeddah, with
the skills of experimental trials related to biology course.
The problem of the study: the researcher addressed the problem of his study in the following question: The
Effect of using sup positive labs in enriching the third class students ,at high schools –Jeddah, with the skills of
experimental trials related to biology course ?
Hypothesis: The researcher articulates the hypothesis of his study as follows:
1. There was no statistical differences upon the indication (0.05) between the two means of marks
regarding acquiring Morphology Skills for the experimental group (which studied using biology virtual
labs) and the control group (which studied using traditional labs) throughout the distance observing after
controlling the pre-tests.
2. There was no statistical differences upon the indication (0.05) between the two means of marks
regarding acquiring Anatomy Skills for the experimental group (which studied using biology virtual labs)
and the control group (which studied using traditional labs) throughout the distance observing after
controlling the pre-tests.
3. There was no statistical differences upon the indication (0.05) between the two means of marks
regarding acquiring Physiology Skills for the experimental group (which studied using biology virtual
labs) and the control group (which studied using traditional labs) throughout the distance observing after
controlling the pre-tests.
4. There was no statistical differences upon the indication (0.05) between the two means of marks
regarding acquiring Overall Skills for the experimental group (which studied using biology virtual labs)
and the control group (which studied using traditional labs) throughout the distance observing after
controlling the pre-tests.
5. There was no statistical differences upon the indication (0.05) between the means of senses of the
control group students regarding studying biology and experimental trials after and before using
computer applications and virtual labs.
Methodology: The Researcher used the experimental methodology, by studying the effect of the
independent factor (virtual labs) on the dependent variable (Acquiring the experimental skills) included in the
united determined for the experiment.
Study Samples & Its Tools: The sample was chosen from the studied students and it was (68) student
divided into two groups; Experimental Group which was (34) taught by using the virtual labs, and a Control
Group which was (34) student taught by the traditional labs.
The researcher used two tools; the first (Notes Cards) for experimental skills, and the second was
(questionnaire) to measure sense.
Results: the study concluded that there statistical differences upon the indication (0.05) between the means
regarding marks of acquiring Anatomy, Physiology skills and the overall skills of the experimental group
(which studied by using virtual biology labs) and the control group (which studied by using traditional biology
labs), and that there is no statistical differences upon the indication (0.05) between the means regarding
marks of acquiring Morphology skills for both the experimental and control groups. Also the study concluded
that there are statistical differences upon the indication (0.05) between the means regarding marks of sense
of the experimental group for studying biology and experimental trials, after and before using computer
applications and the virtual labs for the interest of the students after using computer applications and the
virtual labs.
Recommendations: In the light of the results of the study, here is the most important recommendations:
1. The importance of using the virtual labs technique widely in teaching biology at the high school stage for
its great effect in acquiring the experimental skills.
2. Making use of this technology to overcome these problems and hinders which face both teachers and
students in studying the experimental section of biology.
Suggestions
1. Setting websites for the virtual labs in order to enable teachers and students to make use of this
technology.
2. Conducting more researches and studies in order to discuss the effect of using the virtual labs on
acquiring the other sciences and in other regions in the kingdom.
