  • The cognitive learning outcomes of physics is an indicator of success in learning. To obtain good physics learning result, it needs combination of media and learning model which able to construct students understanding. The use of virtual laboratory in guided inquiry learning models aims to train students to discover concepts independently and construct their knowledge. This study aims to determine the effect of the use of virtual laboratory in guided inquiry learning model to the cognitive learning outcomes of physics students. This research is a quasi experimental research with posttest only control group design. The study involved 58 students divided into two groups, the experimental group and the control group. Data were analyzed using Anova one way test. The results showed that the students' cognitive learning outcomes differ significantly between the experimental group and the control group. It can be concluded that the use of virtual labs in guided inquiry learning model influences the students' cognitive learning outcomes.
