Assistant of the Department of Inorganic Chemistry and Materials Science of Samarkand State University Gulnoza Abulkosimova conducts scientific research on the organization of virtual laboratory classes in chemistry. More than 10 articles and abstracts of Gulnoza Abulkosimova have been published in Republican and international journals. She is also the author of such teaching aids as "Laboratory studies in inorganic chemistry", "History of the creation of chemistry".

    - The need for virtualization of laboratory classes in the educational process becomes an important issue every day, - says Gulnoza Abulkosimova. - Simply put, a virtual laboratory is an experiment without any equipment. This process is controlled remotely using a special remote control. All work is computer controlled. The advantage of a virtual laboratory is that you do not need to buy expensive equipment and reagents for the laboratory. In addition, many laboratory facilities are under-equipped. Using old equipment is dangerous for students. In addition, chemical elements and reagents, which are consumed in chemical laboratories in addition to equipment, will also be needed. They are quite expensive. When the process is virtualized, there is no need for such substances. In this regard, virtual lab training allows high precision results at a lower cost.

    Virtualization of chemical experiments will allow organizing laboratory classes even in schools where there are no laboratory conditions. At the same time, through virtual laboratories, it will be possible to observe processes that are difficult to implement in real conditions using modern computer technologies. It is also possible to save each passed process and reaction to the computer memory. The main thing is that such training is quite at hand in the process of distance learning.
