Abstract

The virtual laboratory can be used to support an experiment of physics for visualizing abstract concepts. This article discusses the effects of virtual laboratory towards improvement on student's creativity in three different schools. Creativity measured in this study included verbal, numerical, and figural. The research was conducted using a quasi-experimental method within the use of pretest and posttest control group design. The results showed differences regarding improvement in students' creativity in each school. In general, in all schools, experimental groups performed a higher level of improvement than control groups. Increase on each type of creativity in three schools were varied. All schools demonstrated that verbal type was higher than numerical and figural ones. It was also revealed that level of increase, of three schools, were on a medium level. This research suggested that the use of virtual laboratory could improve students' creativity.
