Abstract

The virtual laboratory implemented in this research is a virtual laboratory based on virtual reality. The virtual laboratory was developed based on the local wisdom of the Batak tribe, "Dekke Naniura." The local knowledge is associated with chemistry and becomes the content of the development of a virtual laboratory. Implementation was carried out on 45 students selected by purposive sampling method. Students are given a perception indicator of 5 indicators with five statements for each. Based on data analysis and interpretation, 77.78% of students thought that the use of virtual laboratories was difficult, 86.67% of students were very enthusiastic about conducting virtual laboratory trials, 53.33% of students felt that laboratory content was very interesting, 57.78% thought that the material contained is very easy to understand, and 62.22% of students believe that the language chosen in the virtual laboratory is very clear. In general, students think the virtual laboratory developed is very helpful for them in the learning process, especially on materials that cannot be practiced in real laboratories. However, students still find it difficult to use virtual laboratories, so continuous training is needed.
