Abstract
Plant anatomy is a course that requires students to be able to observe cell characteristic in qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative observation is understanding the characteristics of cells in terms of features, shapes, function, and located in organs. While quantitative observation is understanding the characteristic of cells in terms of size and modeling in 3 dimensions. All this skills can be a burden for students in learning process takes conventionally (face to face and ordinary practicum). So, it need a new learning media for students in Virtual Reality (VR). This study aims to build a virtual lab application to help students understanding plant anatomy by using VR media. VR allows students to learn in new ways. VR will bring students into virtual world but feel like real world. This VR application consist of several parts, there are pretest, tutorial, simulation, and posttest. Based on trial phase which is calculated by t-test and N-gain score (%) shows that there is effectiveness in using VR Virtual laboratory can make students to carry out lab work without being bound by time and place. In addition, students will also get more clear and interactive description of plant anatomy in qualitative and quantitative observation.
