The Effect of Teaching in the Dry and Wet Laboratory on the Achievement of Practical Analytical Chemistry Students in the Faculty of Science at Jerash University and the Acquisition of Laboratory Skills

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of teaching in the dry and wet laboratory on the achievement of practical analytical chemistry students in Science College at Jerash University and acquisition of practical laboratory skills. The study used a purposeful sample, consisted of (76) students. They were divided into three groups: The first studied using wet lab, the second studied using wet and dry lab, and the third studied using wet and dry lab. The study tools consisted of an achievement test, and a laboratory skills observation scale. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences in students’ achievement and the acquisition of laboratory skills, attributed to teaching in dry and wet laboratory. There were no statistically significant differences due to gender, in achievement and the acquisition of laboratory skills. The study recommended the adoption of the method of using dry and wet laboratory in teaching the practical analytical chemistry in the the faculty of science at the university of Jerash.
