Abstract:
This article is dedicated to the assessment
criteria for developing students' professional training
through virtual laboratories. Virtual laboratories
provide students with the opportunity to conduct
practical
experiments,
develop
technical
and
professional skills, and enhance their learning
experience in the modern educational process.
The article analyzes the assessment criteria for practical
knowledge acquired by students through virtual
laboratories, innovative approaches, decision-making
speed, analytical thinking, and teamwork skills. It
discusses how the application of virtual laboratories can
help students achieve effective results in professional
training. This article aims to develop scientific
conclusions regarding the role of virtual laboratories in
education and their assessment criteria.
Keywords:
Virtual laboratories, students, professional
training, assessment criteria, practical skills, innovative
approach, analytical thinking, teamwork, educational
technologies, professional competence.
Introduction:
Nowadays, the education system is
adopting new approaches that integrate digital
technologies. In particular, virtual laboratories play a
crucial role in enhancing students' professional training.
They allow students to gain real-world experience,
reinforce their practical knowledge, and provide a range
of opportunities focused on developing professional
competencies. This article examines the assessment
criteria for developing students' professional training
through virtual laboratories.

Virtual Laboratories: Definition and Importance
A virtual laboratory is a simulation process conducted
via a computer or the internet. It enables students and
educators to perform various practical experiments
and scientific research in a safe and efficient manner.
Virtual laboratories have emerged as an innovation in
education, primarily aimed at implementing innovative
methods for teaching practical skills. These
technologies offer convenience for students and
encourage them to engage more interactively and
actively compared to physical laboratories.
The Role of Virtual Laboratories in Professional
Training
In the process of professional training, students need
to acquire not only theoretical knowledge but also
practical skills. Virtual laboratories serve as an
essential tool for developing these practical skills.
Through them, students can:
•
Develop technical skills: Learn to operate
laboratory equipment and use various software
applications.
•
Enhance creative and critical thinking: Virtual
laboratories allow students to experiment with
different scenarios, identify errors, and analyze results,
fostering their creativity.
•
Improve problem-solving skills: Students learn
to apply their knowledge to resolve issues
encountered during virtual experiments.
•
Engage in teamwork: Virtual laboratories
provide opportunities for collaborative work,
preparing students for professional environments
where teamwork is essential.
Assessment Criteria for Professional Training in Virtual
Laboratories
There are several key criteria for assessing professional
training through virtual laboratories. The main
assessment criteria include:
•
Mastery of practical knowledge and skills:
Students are evaluated based on their ability to
successfully complete practical tasks in their field of
study. This includes completing virtual laboratory
assignments, analyzing data, and finding solutions to
problems.
Application of Innovative Approach
The student's level of applying new technologies and
innovative methods in practical work. This criterion
reflects the effectiveness and inclusion of modern
technologies in the virtual laboratory.
Making Quick and Accurate Decisions
The student's ability to make decisions and identify
errors. Virtual laboratories require students to make
quick and accurate decisions, which tests their practical
knowledge.
Analytical Thinking and Data Processing
The ability to analyze results obtained in virtual
laboratories, process data, and draw correct
conclusions. The way a student processes information
and approaches results analytically is an important
factor in assessing their professional preparedness.
Communication and Teamwork Skills
In virtual laboratories, students learn to work
collaboratively. The ability to communicate effectively
with team members, exchange ideas, and achieve a
common goal is also assessed.
CONCLUSION
Virtual laboratories are an essential tool in the learning
process, contributing to the development of students'
professional training and enhancing their practical skills.
Through them, students develop technical, creative,
analytical, and teamwork skills. The assessment criteria
help determine the effectiveness of the skills taught
through virtual laboratories, evaluate the quality of
students' practical knowledge in their subjects, and
identify the innovative approaches they use.
Furthermore, these criteria play a crucial role in
improving the educational process and preparing
students for professional activities.
