PEDAGOGICAL EFFECTIVENESS OF USING VIRTUAL LABORATORIES IN TEACHING CHEMISTRY AT ACADEMIC LYCEUMS

Abstract

This article analyzes the impact of virtual laboratory technologies on the quality of education and students’ cognitive activity in teaching chemistry at academic lyceums. Virtual laboratories enable students to observe complex chemical processes in a safe environment, study the properties of substances interactively, and repeatedly perform experiments. The research findings show that experiments conducted in a virtual environment strengthen students’ theoretical knowledge and promote the development of their scientific thinking and practical skills.
