The purpose of this study was to investigate how a virtual On-line frog dissection compares with an actual laboratory dissection. For a variety of reasons, performing an actual or conventional animal dissection may not be a desirable option. Alternatives to actual dissections have been developed in recent years. A number of states now have legal proceedings or statewide policies requiring that alternatives to the actual dissection of laboratory animal specimens be permitted in their school districts. Objections by students, based on religious or ethical grounds, have been raised regarding the dissections of animals in classroom laboratories. conventional laboratory dissection: A comparison of student achievement and teacher perceptions among honors, general ability, and foundations-level high school biology classesĭissecting animal specimens has long been a tradition in biology classes.

The purpose of the present study was to examine and compare the effectiveness of virtual frog dissection using V- Frog and physical frog dissection on learning, retention, and affect.
