Abstract

Some facilities for basic electronics practicum in the electrical engineering education laboratory are not yet
available. Therefore, a substitute practicum effort is made to use a virtual laboratory to achieve
predetermined competencies. The research model for this is a quasi-experimental design with a design type
nonequivalent control group design. The data review methodology utilized the t-test to detect variations in
student learning results. The findings showed that the learning outcomes in a class using a virtual laboratory
had an average value of 73.5 and a standard deviation of 9.66 with the highest trend level of 18.75%.
Meanwhile, the class that did not use a virtual laboratory obtained an average value of 67.84, and the
standard deviation was 10.00, with the highest tendency level of 6.25%. The populations in this study were
all first-semester students in the 2020/2021 academic year majoring in electrical engineering education at
Universitas Negeri Medan. The results of the t-test on learning outcomes in basic electronics subjects
obtained tcount> ttable (2.3>1.999), meaning that there was a positive influence or improvement on student
learning outcomes in classes using virtual laboratories on basic electronics subjects
