Abstract

Educational technology has provided solution to several educational problems. One of such solution is the virtual laboratory; which aids teaching and learning of Chemistry practical. This study examined the effect of virtual laboratory when it is combined with real laboratory on students’ achievement in practical Chemistry. The sample for this study is 120, senior secondary school three science students. The instrument used for data collection was Chemistry Practical Achievement Test (CPAT). The result showed that virtual laboratory combined with traditional laboratory had a significant main effect on students’ achievement in Chemistry practicals.
