Abstract

The objective is to determine the effectiveness of the QUIMIOKIT- Portable Chemistry Laboratory as a hybrid learning strategy for high school students in the cities of Manta and Portoviejo, Ecuador. The methodology of this research adopted a quantitative approach and adhered to an explanatory type of study. The increase in grade point average from 65% to 75% indicates a significant improvement in students' academic performance in chemistry. Students showed increased commitment, reflected in higher class attendance and enrolment in advanced courses. Considerable development of critical and problem-solving skills was also evident, along with a noticeable positive change in perception and attitude towards science. The programme also positively influenced students' educational and career decisions, increasing their interest in scientific careers.
