Abstract EN

The current study aimed to reveal the acceptance of high school teachers to use virtual laboratories in teaching science in light of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology.

To achieve this goal, the descriptive curriculum was used, and the acceptance scale was prepared, which included (3) parts, and applied to a random sample of (55) high school science teachers in Abha, during the first semester of (2020- 2021).

The results of the study found that the acceptance rate of the sample members is high, as the general average of the scale is (2.38).

Also, the results reached a statistically significant direct correlation between the theoretical variables and the intention to use, with the value of the Pearson correlation coefficient for all variables (0.705).

likewise, there are statistically significant differences in the intention of the sample members due to the change of specialization (in favor of the specialty of chemistry) and age (in favor of the younger age group), as the significance values reached (0.023) and (0.005), respectively.

There were no statistically significant differences in the intention of the sample members due to the variable of years of experience, as the significance value was (0.178).

In light of this, some recommendations were made.
