The article provides data on the use of computer programs when teaching chemistry at the university, including the use of elements of virtual laboratories. In addition, based on a comparison of the assimilation of educational material when using a virtual laboratory and real practical classes, conclusions were made on increasing the assimilation of students when using a virtual laboratory.
In this article, in the process of considering the use of computer orientation, including the use of a virtual laboratory OLabs, research was conducted among students of chemical and biological specialties of Kaznpu named after Abai. As a result, students were able to study the properties of substances and the process of chemical reactions with the help of a virtual laboratory, as well as become interested in the lesson of general chemistry.
