Abstract

Aim of this study is to compare the laboratory anxiety levels and attitudes towards laboratory skills of students who participated in online education only and those who participated in online education and laboratory exercises in the Covid-19 pandemic. The study is in the quantitative research method. The second and third grade students attended the training directly and online but fourth grade students participated in the training only online in the pandemic period (total 250 students). The scales that 180 students answered without error were evaluated. It has been revealed that anxiety levels of the students who could not participate in the laboratory exercises in pandemic period were higher than the anxiety levels of the students who participated in the exercises. The laboratory skill attitude of the fourth grade students is more negative than the laboratory skill attitude of the second and third grade students. There is an inverse and significant relationship between students' laboratory skill attitudes and laboratory anxiety.
