VIRTUAL LABORATORY AS A PART OF MODERN EXPERIMENT

The article analyzes approaches to the interpretation of the term "virtual laboratory" of various scientists on the basis of what in the context of contemporary trends in Informatization of education concluded on the need for future teachers naturally-mathematical disciplines virtual laboratories. Under the virtual laboratory is a complete replacement of the laboratory setup – when the whole process of measurement and processing of data involved the computer, but the hand of the researcher is only needed for proper configuration of computer equipment. The use of virtual laboratories allows not only to observe a kind of experiment, but also directly participate in it, and this in turn contributes to learning in a more conscious and deeper level. LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench) of National Instruments allows to create measuring systems and automation systems based on virtual devices is shown of a system of virtual laboratory works. The attention is focused on the differences of virtual laboratories, the advantages of using virtual laboratories in the educational process. The directions of the virtual laboratory workshop, such as virtual simulators or simulators are the tool to simulate experiments and remote running of virtual labs. The fundamental difference between these directions has been shown. The difference between performing the common laboratory work with the virtual has been defined. When you run virtual lab researchers one is to create the illusion of work on real equipment. Virtual labs give the opportunity to the actual conditions to perform the experimental tasks, to compare the measured data of the experiment with modern physical experiment carried out on expensive research equipment, and thus to assimilate the new information technologies. The virtual laboratory is an integral part of modern laboratories in the natural and mathematical Sciences. Virtual labs can be used in educational institutions and training centers of various organizations. Such laboratory can significantly improve the efficiency of the educational process and provide opportunities for the formation and improvement of professional skills and intuition, and develop creative abilities of pupils. The process of implementation of virtual laboratory works is almost identical to performance of laboratory works in the real world: used equipment, facilities and reagents, similar to the real. And practically the only difference between virtual labs from real is that they are performed on the computer.
