Abstract
This study is a systematic review that is composed of the analysis of several international studies on the use of virtual laboratories in science education that were selected based on certain criteria. Research data have been attained by reviewing studies that concern virtual laboratories. For this systematic review, 1322 scientific articles published in the Web of Science database between 2013 and 2022, with the keyword "virtual laboratory" in their titles or abstracts, were reviewed. An article review form was used as the tool for collecting data. In determining the papers to be included in the study, the criterion sampling method was used. The sample of the study consists of 30 papers which comply with the inclusion criteria and were accessible in full text. Descriptive and content analyses were used in this systematic review. The studies on virtual laboratories are presented via descriptive analysis on the basis of their distribution by years, distribution by subject fields, distribution by participant levels, distribution by group sizes, methods and patterns, data collection tools, and frequencies of data analysis types. The results of virtual laboratories that these studies acquired were grouped via content analysis under codes, categories, and themes. When the results achieved by these studies are evaluated as a whole, it becomes clear that virtual laboratory applications positively impact science education with respect to different variables.
