Abstract:
This study explores the students' experiences of virtual laboratory use in forensic chemistry. This research utilized qualitative approach to gain a comprehensive understanding of students' experiences of virtual laboratory. Results showed four (4) emerging themes: (1) Recognition of Virtual Laboratories; (2) Appreciation of Virtual Laboratory Relevance; (3) Enjoyment of Virtual Experiment Conduct; and (4) Understanding Basic Concepts. From the participants' responses, it is evident that virtual laboratories play a significant role in enhancing student engagement and understanding of scientific concepts in forensic chemistry. In conclusion, the positive experiences of the students towards virtual laboratories suggest that these digital tools have the potential to revolutionize the way forensic science subjects are taught and learned. This research highlights the importance of integrating virtual laboratories effectively into the curriculum to create enriching and accessible learning experiences for students across various academic disciplines.
