Abstract

Computational Thinking Skills are among the essential competencies students must master to face the challenges of the digital era. Unfortunately, digital learning media that can effectively enhance students' Computational Thinking Skills, especially through the visualization of abstract science concepts, are still limited. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the feasibility, characteristics, and impact of a STEM-based 3D virtual laboratory on students' computational thinking skills in the topic of temperature, heat, and expansion. Methods:  The 3D virtual laboratory was developed using Unity and guided by the ADDIE development model. Results: The media feasibility score was very feasible, and the readability score was well understood. The 3D laboratory had excellent characteristics across five key features: accessibility, observability, realistic scenario simulation, realism, and isolation. In general, computational thinking skills improved, where male students (84.38%) outperformed female students (80.67%), in terms of abstraction, pattern recognition, algorithmic thinking, and generalization, while females were more dominant in decomposition. Novelty: The resulting STEM-based 3D virtual laboratory offers an immersive approach to strengthen Computational Thinking Skills and differs from previous studies that generally only focus on interactive simulations .

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the scientific trend of research on the impact of virtual laboratories on STEM-based science learning and their influence on students' science process skills through bibliometric study and to explore how the contribution of Indonesian researchers in the Scopus database from 2020 to 2024. The sample was composed of 7 documents in total. The results revealed that scientific publication on the impact of virtual laboratories on STEM-based science learning and their influence on students' science process skills has been increasing. In the last five years, seven countries have contributed to writing journal articles related to on the impact of virtual laboratories on STEM-based science learning and their influence on students' science process skills. The seven countries are Indonesia, Brazil, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, the United States, Spain, and Mexico. There is one journal from Indonesia that discusses on the impact of virtual laboratories on STEM-based science learning and their influence on students' science process skills in the last five years, namely a journal written by Usman et al. (2021) and published in the Journal of Physics: Conference Series, Yogyakarta State University, Indonesia. The research findings could aid related researchers to recognize the trend of impact of virtual laboratories on STEM-based science learning and their influence on students' science process skills research globally and recommend directions for further research.
