- Abstract
The virtual STEM laboratory is a STEM-based learning media alternative as practicum media because the laboratory has some limitations. This study aims to determine the perspective of chemistry teachers on the existence and use of virtual STEM laboratories. The method used is descriptive qualitative research, where the teacher’s perspective is obtained from filling out questionnaires and interviews that have been conducted with eleven chemistry teachers with different teaching periods. The results showed most of the teachers delivered material based on the syllabus and delivered practicum-based material in a combination. Eight out of eleven teachers stated that a chemistry laboratory was available in their school, but chemistry practicum was only carried out on materials where the tools and materials were readily available. All teachers agreed with a virtual STEM laboratory because it can complement unsufficient facilities. The teacher used virtual STEM laboratory to deliver materials in the topics of atomic structure, reaction rate, stoichiometry, acid-base, chemical reactions, redox, chemical equilibrium, voltaic cells, electrolytes and non-electrolytes solution, thermochemistry, electrolysis, and the colligative properties of solutions. This study concludes that all teachers agree with the development of a virtual STEM laboratory and are enthusiastic about using it to support chemistry learning.
