Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the difference in student achievement when virtual labs are used instead of traditional labs. Participants included eighth grade students in a science class at a junior high in the Central Valley of California. A treatment group participated in four virtual labs and the control group participated in four traditional labs. Data were collected through assessment scores and analyses were run. Results revealed there was a significant difference in three of the four assessments in which the control group scored higher. After accounting for existing differences in science achievement between the two groups, there was a significant difference in two of the four assessments in which the control group scored higher. Results are presented and discussed.
