Low physics learning outcomes in high schools are often due to lecture-dominated methods, limited lab facilities, and students' perception of physics as abstract and difficult This study aims to determine the effect of the Collaborative Learning model assisted by Virtual Laboratory on the learning outcomes of class XI students at SMA Negeri 2 Banda Aceh. The population of the study was all class XI IPA students, with a purposive sampling technique. Class XI MIPA Brunei Darussalam (33 students) was the experimental class, and XI MIPA Hongkong (26 students) was the control. Data were collected through learning outcome tests, observations, and interviews. Data analysis used the normality test (chi-square), homogeneity test (F) and t-test. The average posttest score for the experimental class was 77.58 while the control class obtained 65.38. Furthermore, the results of the hypothesis test using the t-test showed tcount 4.3> ttable = 1.673 (α= 0.05), so it is concluded that the Collaborative Learning model assisted by Virtual Laboratory has a significant effect on improving students' physics learning outcomes. Observation of implementation reached 99.5%, and interviews showed that students were more motivated and understood the concept better. Thus, Collaborative Learning with Virtual Lab effectively improves students’ physics learning outcomes.
