Technology in education today has an important contribution to facilitating students' virtual experiences to develop ideas through laboratories for learning. Even though the potential of the virtual laboratory has been proven and investigated by many experts in the field of research, the virtual laboratory has not been synthesized for physics education. This study aims to identify trends in virtual laboratories in physics education. The method used is classifying and analyzing 30 articles collected from the Scopus database into seven sections: journal publication, virtual laboratory trends in physics education, research approach, physics content, research subjects, characteristics of the virtual laboratory used, and thinking skills studied. And the country of implementation, weaknesses, and suggestions. Virtual laboratory trends in physics education include subject, topic, level of education, type of virtual laboratory, and country where the virtual laboratory is applied. A review of research results shows that the use of virtual laboratories in the last six years has varied. Then, the thinking skills studied also varied using various approaches. The conclusion from the results of the virtual laboratory analysis found that there is a novelty in the virtual laboratory design and the impact of its application in learning activities that can increase creativity, problem-solving, critical thinking, learning independence, science literacy skills, science literacy skills, inquiry activity, conceptual understanding, conception reconstruction, graphic interpretation skills, science process skills, mastery of concept, achievement study, student's physics competence, and communication skills (HOTS). © 2024 Author(s).
