{"abstract":"Inadequate science laboratories in Philippine public schools present a challenge to science education. This study explored the synergistic effects of the Virtual Science Laboratory Application in Science (VLAS) and Guided Inquiry Activities (GIA) on enhancing the basic science process skills (BSPS) of Grade 7 students. The study focused on the significant difference in students' BSPS (observation, communication, classification, measurement, inference, and prediction) before and after using VLAS. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was utilized with 72 Grade 7 students divided into two groups: an experimental group of 36 learners using VLAS and GIA, and a control group of 36 students using only VLA. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Thematic Analysis were used. Findings revealed a statistically significant difference in pretest and posttest BSPS scores, indicating that VLAS and GIA help students understand complex concepts through procedural activity. Integrating VLAS effectively improves learners' BSPS, essential for scientific literacy. The study concludes that VLAS improves BSPS, and VLAS combined with GIA offers a more intense approach to enhancement. Recommendations include developing GIA modules for VLAS, providing professional development for teachers, investigating long-term effects, and adding more interactive activities to VLAS.","abstract_source":"gemini_shortened","authors":["Djovigail Esguerra","Rona Lynne Federizo","Josephine Feliciano"],"date":"2025-05-15","doi":"10.70838/pemj.370703","id":5195,"issue":7,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"188d7cddebe3ce4f44bdf46488af32caba6ecb92118d895d925ff959fdaec742","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Synergizing Virtual Laboratory Application in Science and Guided Inquiry Activities in Leveraging Basic Science Process Skills of Grade 7 Students","volume":37}
