Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Virtual Physics Laboratories
Keywords:
virtual laboratory, physics educationAbstract
This context is devoted to consider the advantages and disadvantages of using virtual laboratories in the process of learning physics. The work defines the virtual laboratory and reveals its role in modern physics education. The main advantages of virtual laboratories, such as security, flexibility, visibility and cost-effectiveness, are analyzed in detail. At the same time, the limitations of virtual laboratories are also considered - lack of tactile sensations, limitations of physical modeling and dependence on technology. Also, in the context, promising directions for the development of virtual physics laboratories, including their integration with real equipment and the use of virtual reality technologies, are shown. In conclusion, it can be said that the need for optimal coordination of virtual and real laboratory work in the educational process is based.
