Abstract

The rapid development of technology has significantly impacted various sectors, particularly the field of education. One of the learning innovations widely used in basic physics practicum is the virtual laboratory. Virtual laboratories enable students to conduct interactive experiments that improve conceptual understanding and numeracy skills through simulations that help them understand physics concepts while also improving numeracy ability in analyzing data, performing calculations, and interpreting experimental results. This study aims to analyze the role of virtual laboratories in improving numeracy ability in basic physics practicum through a literature review approach. This research uses a qualitative method with a literature review design. The data sources were obtained from scientific articles indexed in Google Scholar with a publication range from 2015–June 2024.

Abstract

The development of digital technology encourages the use of virtual laboratories as an alternative in physics learning. This study aims to examine the role of virtual laboratories in helping improve students' contextual numeracy skills when conducting physics experiments. The method used is a literature study by analyzing various related scientific sources, such as domestic and international journals, which discuss the use of virtual laboratories and numeracy skills in the physics teaching and learning process. The results of the study indicate that virtual laboratories can improve students' critical thinking skills through the presentation of interactive simulations that allow students to conduct experiments, observe phenomena, and analyze numerical data more flexibly. In addition, the use of virtual laboratories has been proven to help increase student participation, critical thinking skills, and a better understanding of physics concepts. Incorporating simulations in learning helps students connect mathematical concepts with real physics situations and strengthens quantitative thinking skills when solving problems. Thus, it can be concluded that virtual laboratories are an effective learning method in helping improve students' contextual numeracy skills when conducting physics experiments.
