This study analyzes the effectiveness of virtual laboratory-based distance learning as a means of improving the learning outcomes of students’ cognitive abilities and practical skills in the Computer Numerical Control course. This study utilized a pre-experimental design with a onegroup pretest-posttest structure. The research subjects were 31 second-year vocational students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Universitas Negeri Padang who had recently participated in four distance learning sessions. The research instruments included a pre-test, a post-test, and a student perception survey to assess the effectiveness of virtual laboratory treatment. The findings of this study demonstrate that the presence of a virtual laboratory enhances learning outcomes in terms of cognitive abilities. The pre-test value for cognitive abilities was 52.04, which increased to 82.36 in the post-test. Similarly, the pre-test value for practical skills was 56.98, which improved to 83.44 in the post-test. These improvements significantly contribute to the enhancement of learning outcomes, as indicated by an average N-gain value of 0.642 in the medium/effective category. We conclude that the use of virtual laboratory media through the Metaverse platform is effective for distance learning. This method reduces the initial requirement of 24 hours of face-to-face learning to just five hours of more effective self-study. © (2023) by the authors of this article. Published under CC-BY.

This explanatory research examines the development of biology learning programs for entrepreneurship through microbiology lectures in UK educational institutions. Specifically, it investigates the impact of bio-entrepreneurship learning and problem-based learning on students' attitudes towards bio-entrepreneurship, considering mediating roles of teaching styles and learners' interests. The quantitative methodology was adopted, with 244 students completing a survey questionnaire. Results showed bio-entrepreneurship learning and problem-based learning positively influence attitudes towards bio-entrepreneurship. Furthermore, teaching styles significantly mediated the relationship between learning approaches and attitudes. However, learners' interests did not mediate these associations. The study provides theoretical contributions on intersecting microbiology education and entrepreneurship. Practical implications highlight designing customized bio-entrepreneurship curricula by leveraging problem-based learning and effective instructional techniques. Limitations include contextual focus on the UK and lacking analysis of actual entrepreneurial activities. Further research should examine long-term impacts on career pursuits and compare cross-national effectiveness. © 2023, Journal of Commercial Biotechnology. All rights reserved.
