Abstract

Laboratory work in science education is an essential component that supports students’ deep conceptual understanding. Advances in technology and limitations in practical equipment have encouraged the use of virtual laboratories as an alternative, although traditional hands-on laboratory activities are still highly needed and receive positive responses from students. This situation raises an important question regarding the current relevance of virtual laboratories and digital simulations in science practicum learning. This study is a bibliometric analysis conducted using Biblioshiny to examine trends in the use of virtual laboratories and digital simulations in science practicum instruction. The analyzed data were retrieved from the Scopus database and limited to publications from 2015 to 2025, consisting of 198 articles and conference proceedings. The results reveal three distinct trend phases: an initial growth phase characterized by increasing publications, a shock phase marked by a significant decline, and a normal phase in which the number of publications becomes relatively stable.
