Sažetak
Learning and teaching chemistry is based on the acquisition of knowledge and skills through a cognitive perception processes, scientific communication, and reasoning. A chemical experiment comprises all of the mentioned cognitive processes. Therefore, as a part of experiential learning, it constitutes a fundamental class activity which can be carried out in a virtual world. Many research findings have supported hypotheses that the virtual laboratory use improves students’ achievements and develops students’ positive attitudes towards chemistry. The aim of this research was to examine students’ perceptions of the virtual laboratory following its use in the chemistry class. The research was conducted on a convenient sample of third-grade high-school students. The data were collected with a questionnaire which comprised certain aspects of students’ perception – class more interesting, understanding and mastering subject matter, classroom atmosphere, class participation and motivation to learn. The results showed that the students found chemistry class to be more interesting with the virtual laboratory use, and that they felt that in such a relaxing working environment they participated more in the class and mastered the subject matter more easily.
