Abstract

The purpose of the research was to determine the effectiveness of virtual environments in learning binary inorganic compounds at the BGU level of the “San Isidro” Educational Unit. For this purpose, the research had a quantitative approach. Data collection was carried out through knowledge tests on the students (control and experimental group). The results obtained showed that at the control group level a mean of 3.86 was calculated, showing a standard deviation of 1.509 and a mean standard error of 0.302. On the other hand, the calculation showed that, for the experimental group, a mean of 4.46, a standard deviation of 1.576 and a mean standard error of 0.384 were calculated, which indicated that there was no significant difference between both groups when evaluating their knowledge Finally, as a conclusion, the importance of incorporating the “Virtual Quimi Project” project into the teaching activity, whose fundamental purpose is to introduce virtual environments oriented to the learning of binary inorganic compounds. In this sense, the main contribution that the research offers is to ensure that the teaching-learning process of this subject is more affective and effective for the teacher.
