Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of virtual laboratories in project-based learning (PjBL) on biology topics related to sustainable development through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The review was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 framework by examining articles published between 2013 and 2025 across major databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, ERIC, and Google Scholar. Inclusion criteria focused on studies integrating virtual laboratories, PjBL, and sustainability-related topics in biology education. The selection process identified one core study and several supporting studies relevant to the research objectives. The findings reveal that virtual laboratories function as effective enablers of PjBL by facilitating authentic scientific inquiry, especially in contexts with limited access to physical laboratory resources. Additionally, virtual laboratories contribute to improved conceptual understanding, scientific reasoning, and procedural skills. In terms of sustainable development, virtual laboratories promote resource efficiency and support the development of sustainability competencies, such as systems thinking and problem-solving. Despite these benefits, the limited number of integrated studies indicates a gap in empirical research. Overall, virtual laboratory–supported PjBL demonstrates strong potential for advancing innovative, sustainable, and competency-oriented biology learning.

Abstract

Scientific argumentation is an essential competency in Biology education, particularly in genetics, which requires students to analyze evidence, construct logical reasoning, and draw conclusions based on scientific concepts. However, students' scientific argumentation skills remain relatively low, highlighting the need for innovative instructional approaches that effectively facilitate scientific reasoning. This study aimed to analyze the effect of ChatGPT integration on students' scientific argumentation skills in genetics learning. The study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The research sample consisted of two twelfth-grade science classes at MAS Firdaus Tompobalang, designated as the experimental and control groups. Data were collected through a Toulmin-based scientific argumentation test, classroom observations, questionnaires, and documentation. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including the Independent Samples t-test, Paired Samples t-test, normalized gain (N-Gain), and effect size analysis. The results revealed that the experimental group achieved a mean N-Gain score of 0.65, which was higher than that of the control group (0.35). Hypothesis testing indicated a statistically significant difference (p = 0.001 < 0.05) with a Cohen's d value of 0.96, indicating a large effect size. Improvements were observed across all components of scientific argumentation, including claim, evidence, reasoning, backing, and rebuttal, although the rebuttal component still requires further enhancement. Therefore, the integration of ChatGPT had a positive and significant effect on students' scientific argumentation skills and is recommended as an innovative approach to Biology instruction, while maintaining the teacher's central role in guiding the critical and responsible use of artificial intelligence.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to examine changes in students’ critical thinking skills following the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) integrated with a virtual laboratory in biology learning, particularly on cell structure and function. Methods: A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was employed at SMA Pergis Maros, Indonesia. The participants were 50 Grade X students, comprising 26 students in the experimental group and 24 in the control group. The experimental group received PjBL integrated with a virtual laboratory, while the control group received conventional instruction. Data were analyzed descriptively using pretest and posttest mean scores and normalized gain (N-Gain). Findings: The experimental group’s mean score increased from 62.69 to 64.42, representing a gain of 1.73 points, while the control group’s mean score increased from 42.29 to 59.79, representing a gain of 17.50 points. The N-Gain values calculated from group means were 0.046 for the experimental group and 0.303 for the control group. Descriptively, the control group demonstrated greater improvement. However, the absence of individual-level data prevented inferential statistical testing. Research Implications: The findings highlight the importance of evaluating instructional implementation, assessment alignment, and students’ initial abilities when integrating virtual laboratories into biology learning. Originality: This study provides context-specific descriptive evidence concerning virtual-laboratory-integrated PjBL for teaching cell structure and function in senior high school biology.
