“…Khoshouie et al proved that molecular workbench can help students gain a better understanding of chemistry on gas law, chemistry of molecular electronegativity, molecular and salt solutions [45]. In practice, simulation-based learning can be integrated into a learning environment with a constructivist philosophy such as discovery learning [49][50][51][52]. Specifically, Fermann et al mention that the integration of molecular simulation in the discovery learning environment has a positive impact on increasing the level of critical thinking and scientific reasoning in general [52].…”

This study aimed to determine the effect of computer simulation using molecular workbench in a collaborative discovery learning environment to improve critical thinking abilities and learning activities of high school students. A quasi-experiment with a matching-only pretest-posttest control group design was applied in this study. A total of 60 students consisting of 30 students in both the experimental and control groups were selected purposively from the population of grade 11 MAN 1 Bandar Lampung, Indonesia in the academic year 2019–2020. A series of descriptive and inferential statistics were used to determine the effectiveness of the treatment on students’ learning activities and critical thinking abilities. The results showed that the n-gain value of the experimental group ranging between 0.62 to 0.93 higher than the control group with n-gain ranging between 0.18 to 0.57. Furthermore, the analysis of the independent sample t-test yielded a sig < 0.05, which confirms the effectivity of molecular dynamics simulation in a discovery learning environment in fostering the critical thinking abilities. In addition, other findings also inform that discovery activities with computer simulations can increase student learning activities such as asking questions, communication attitudes, conscientiousness, and cooperation. Molecular dynamics simulation activities facilitate student learning and develop thinking skills, especially in discovering chemical concepts.

“…The simulator is a computer-based program that gives students access to more facilities that they otherwise would have. For example, students can discover concepts through guided inquiry using the simulation modules (Fermann, et al, 2000) and/or can be trained in the operation of instruments (Waller and Foster, 2000). Furthermore, the use of a simulator reduces the purchase and maintenance costs of the laboratory equipment, while enabling students to perform a variety of experiments in data collection and analysis (Thomas and Neilson, 1995).…”

Abstract:We integrated an interactive viscosity simulator into a pre-laboratory session in an attempt to improve training in a chemistry laboratory. The students were divided into two groups, the experimental group (EG) and the control group (CG). The students of the EG participated in a pre-laboratory session with additional instruction, including the use of the simulation on personal computers and other discussions. After the pre-labs, these students participated in the design of the experiments using the simulator as an educational tool, and then carried out the experiments; in addition, they processed their data on spreadsheets, and they pooled their results through a Local Area Network (LAN). Students of the CG performed the experiments following the traditional teaching procedure (recipe-labs), without attending the pre-lab session. Comparison of the two groups showed that the EG students valued the opportunity to question the teacher in the pre-laboratory session, and that they found this teaching procedure useful. As a result they felt more confident when they entered a laboratory and they understood better the theory behind the experiment than the CG students. [Chem. Educ. Res. Pract., 2007, 8 (2), 220-231.]
