“…In this way, teachers and learners could familiarize themselves with the advantages and disadvantages when using blended educational modes (Archibald et al, 2021). Educational administration can investigate how to enhance learners' and teachers' competence and readiness to accept the ICT-assisted blended learning model using advanced technologies such as augmented reality (Yu, 2023a), gamification technologies (Yu, 2023b), and virtual labs (Douar & Harous, 2023). Designers of ICTs can integrate encouraging components into blended learning models to stimulate learners' interest in blended learning assisted with ICTs.…”

With the rapid development of information and communication technologies, blended learning has gained popularity after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to visualize and bibliometrically analyze information and communication technology-based blended learning. Through bibliometric analyses and visualization via both VOSviewer and CitNetExplorer, this study identified the top ten cited authors, organizations, countries, sources, and keywords in the field of information and communication technologies used for blended learning, providing meaningful references for future research. Most studies reported that information and communication technology-based blended learning could improve learning effectiveness and environments despite numerous challenges revealed by several previous studies. In addition, this study suggested the main research methods to explore ICT-assisted blended learning given the present meta-analytical methods in the longest path where a citation network was established. Future research directions were suggested.

“…Effective virtual laboratory to build constructivist thinking in electrical measurement practicum (Fivia Eliza) 815 aspect, where virtual laboratories tend to be more economical, reducing the cost burden that is often associated with procuring practical materials and maintaining equipment [5]. Time flexibility is also a major attraction, making it easier for students to access and undergo practicum according to their schedule, which may not always be possible in conventional practicums which have limited time [6]. In addition, virtual laboratories have a positive impact on safety aspects [7].…”

Constructivism serves as a basic theory in education, and plays an important role, because this perspective views learning as a dynamic process in which students actively participate in constructing their knowledge. So, this research aims to produce a virtual laboratory that is valid and effective in developing constructivist thinking. This research and development use the Ploom approach which consists of initial investigation, design, construction/realization, testing, evaluation, revision, and implementation. Thirty-two electrical engineering students from Padang State University participated in this research. The instruments used are validity instruments and constructivism assessment tools. The research results show that the Proteus-based virtual laboratory developed is valid and effective in fostering constructivist thinking in electrical measurement practice. This study contributes to the advancement of virtual laboratories in educational settings, emphasizing the importance of constructivist pedagogy for meaningful and engaging learning experiences in the field of electrical engineering. The results of this research open opportunities for further research regarding the exploration of artificial intelligence to improve constructivism through virtual laboratories.

BackgroundThe adoption of virtual laboratories (VLs) has experienced a significant surge, catalysed by the global changes in the educational landscape, notably influenced by the COVID‐19 pandemic. Originally supplementary to traditional in‐person laboratory experiments, VLs swiftly transitioned into a primary source of hands‐on laboratory activities for educational institutions worldwide during the pandemic. As restrictions have eased, virtual, computer‐assisted learning platforms continue to be used, though now as a complement to, rather than a substitute for, hands‐on experimentation opportunities. However, their adoption presents both opportunities and challenges that require thorough investigation to maximize their effectiveness and equity.ObjectivesThis paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of VL resources utilized across various scientific disciplines. It evaluates their potential to enhance traditional hands‐on laboratory activities and examines the efficacy of computer‐assisted learning platforms from a constructivist learning perspective. By doing so, the study seeks to identify best practices, challenges, and strategies for the effective integration of VLs in science education.MethodsA content analysis was conducted on literature published from 2013 to 2023, focusing on VLs in educational settings. Thematic analysis was employed to categorize the findings into three primary pillars: Merits, Challenges, and Implementation Strategies. Multiple researchers participated in the analysis to ensure reliability and consistency. To further enhance reliability, regular cross‐checks and consensus meetings were held to resolve any discrepancies and maintain the integrity of the thematic categorization. A constructivist learning perspective was used to analyse the instructional implications, focusing on active learning to evaluate alignment with educational goals, adapted teaching methods, and assessments.Results and ConclusionsThe analysis revealed that VLs offer significant benefits, including enhanced accessibility, flexibility, and opportunities for active learning. Virtual labs provide scalable, safe opportunities for inquiry‐based science learning by replicating experiments in an accessible digital environment, enhancing understanding of scientific concepts based on research demonstrations of improved learning outcomes. However, challenges such as high initial setup costs, technological barriers, and the need for effective integration with traditional curricula were also identified. Despite these challenges, VLs have the potential to complement and enhance hands‐on laboratory experiences, provided they are implemented thoughtfully and equitably. Future research should focus on improving the efficacy, accessibility, collaboration among stakeholders, and economic feasibility of VLs to maximize their educational impact.
