VIRTUAL LABORATORIES AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS OF STUDENTS IN PHYSICAL DISCIPLINES: FURTHER PROSPECTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Abstract

We discuss the implementation of virtual physics labs in higher education institutions, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages compared to traditional laboratory practical. The importance of supplementing real experiments with virtual ones is highlighted. Student opinions are crucial for instructors, as they want to understand their experiences using virtual labs in practice. This will help them decide which teaching method is more effective. We conducted a survey during one of our physics classes to gather students' opinions on the use of virtual simulation experiments versus traditional ones.
