Abstract

Research objective. The objective of the study was to investigate the impact of virtual laboratories on students' research skills while studying biology in a university environment. Applied research method. The research method used in the study was a research experiment in a virtual laboratory, the method of testing (EETS), and the method of expert evaluation. The statistical analysis was carried out using the Mann-Whitney criterion, Pearson's coefficient, and correlation analysis. The reliability of the method was tested by Cronbach's alpha. Main results. There is a positive correlation between the use of scientific methods and the ability to conduct experiments, as well as the attitude to the learning environment in both the experimental and control groups. The Pearson correlation coefficients were higher for the experimental group; this clearly indicates a stronger connection between their research skills and attitudes toward the learning environment. The ability to process results also has a small positive relationship with attitudes toward the learning environment. Major conclusions. The results of the study demonstrated the positive impact of using virtual laboratories in the study of biological disciplines.
