Abstract

This article explores the use of virtual laboratories to enhance student interest and professional competence in higher education. It discusses the didactic potential of virtual laboratories, their types, and their advantages in the educational context. The study emphasizes the innovative nature of virtual laboratory work and its contribution to skill development and scientific research. A questionnaire was conducted to assess the impact of virtual laboratories on students' knowledge and skills. The results demonstrate that virtual laboratories effectively increase motivation, foster professional skills, and promote student engagement in scientific work. The research concludes that integrating virtual laboratories into higher education curricula is crucial for preparing future professionals in an increasingly digital world.
