Virtual Laboratory for Educational Institutions

This research aims to develop a Virtual laboratory model to support basic vocational education practicums, both through Virtual laboratory applications and practicum content in the form of virtual practicum modules. The research employed a development method. The feasibility of the Virtual laboratory was tested using a feasibility test instrument based on expert justification, while the model acceptability and effectiveness were assessed using field tests through quasi-experiments. The feasibility test results showed an average total score of 85.69, compared to scores of 85.52 for the Administrator group, 83.96 for the Teacher and Instructor group, and 87.59 for the student group. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of the Virtual laboratory system reached an index of 88.84, which is considered very high. The research findings are useful as a practical solution for vocational schools with limited basic laboratory facilities as a solution to improve graduate competency according to stakeholder standards.
