"In chemistry instruction, computer models are considered as good means to enhance traditional expository lessons as well as to support laboratory work (Smetana & Bell, 2012). Multiple studies focus on using computer simulation as a mean to introduce real laboratory activities (Burewicz & Miranowicz, 2006, Winberg & Berg, 2007). Researchers conclude that the simulation supported pre-lab leads to better comprehension of the technique and the basic concepts used in laboratory work, to improving content knowledge, as well as to increased interest in the course (Rutten, van Joolingen & van der Veen, 2012). In this case study, we describe the effect of a simulation supported pre-lab task on students\u2019 communication during and realisation of real laboratory work focused on acid base titration. The impact on learning outcomes is also examined. The investigation was conducted in a group of 16 students in the course of Selected Laboratory Methods in the last-year of Secondary Medical School. Simulation supported and similar paper-based tasks were designed. These tasks were performed by half of the students before and by the other half of the students after laboratory work. Students worked in pairs and communication of four pairs was recorded and analysed. Student learning outcomes were assessed through a didactic test, which was administered as pre-, post- and retention test. The research results showed the positive impact of the simulation supported pre-lab task on students\u2019 use of technical terms during real laboratory work, also on analysis of measured data and on titration curve plotting." .
