Özet: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of simulation-based instruction (SBI) over traditional instruction on students’ understanding of chemical equilibrium. One experimental group (EG; N = 30) and one comparison group (CG; N = 35) were used in the study. While EG was taught with simulation-based instruction, the CG was exposed to traditional instruction. The Chemical Equilibrium Achievement Test (CEAT) was administered as pre-test, post-test and delayed test to collect data. Analyses of scores of groups in the post-test and delayed test were compared and a statistically significant difference was found between groups in favor of EG. It also seems that students in EG were more successful than CG ones in remediation of alternative conceptions. These results suggest that teaching–learning of topics related to chemical equilibrium can be improved by the use of simulation-based teaching materials.
