Abstract

This study is aimed at determining the effectiveness of using virtual reality (VR) toward students’ scientific attitude in chemical bonding. The data was collected through questionnaire consisting of 14 items. A quasi-experiment with a post-test design was employed in this study. The population was the students of 10th public senior high school in Gunungkidul Regency. A total of 96 grade 10th students were cluster randomly selected from a public senior high school. The samples were set into three different classes, namely control group (CG) using a real laboratory, experiment group-1 (EG-1) using a virtual reality integrated hybrid learning, and experiment group-2 (EG-2) using both of them. The data related to students’ scientific attitude were analyzed using ANOVA. Scientific attitude scores were significantly different between the class using a real laboratory, the class that was using virtual reality, and the class that using both of them. This study implies that VR can be used to improve students' scientific attitude.
