Abstract

The use of technology-based science laboratories is an important innovation in improving the quality of science education in the digital age. This article aims to examine the role and implementation of science laboratories integrated with technology in supporting the science learning process. The method used is a literature study by analyzing various relevant scientific sources, including national and international journals, books, and related research reports. The results of the study show that the use of technology such as virtual laboratories, digital simulations, digital sensors, and Learning Management Systems (LMS) can improve students' understanding of concepts, scientific process skills, and motivation to learn. In addition, technology-based laboratories also provide solutions to the limitations of practical tools and materials in schools. The conclusion of this study is that the integration of technology in science laboratories contributes positively to the effectiveness of science learning and supports the achievement of 21st-century learning objectives.
