Puntambekar, Sadhana; Gnesdilow, Dana; Dornfeld Tissenbaum, Catherine; Narayanan, N. Hari; Rebello, N. Sanjay – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Research exploring students' learning from physical and virtual labs has suggested that on the whole, students learn science content just as well, if not better from virtual labs as they do from physical labs. However, the affordances of physical labs might support the learning of specific skills and competencies that are just as crucial for…
