To foster student motivation, it is crucial to infuse learning with enjoyment during the education process. The advent of information and communication technologies has made access to digital tools increasingly more convenient. Teachers frequently employ free digital resources, such as simulations, pictures, videos, and games, in their teaching-learning process. By incorporating simulations into the Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) method, the POE method can positively impact student success, particularly in bolstering students’ belief in their ability to learn and perform well in chemistry courses. This study examined the impact of a simulation-supported POE intervention on high school students’ self-efficacy in learning and performance. Two groups of students were randomly selected as the experimental and control groups. While the experimental group received lessons using the POE method supported by simulations, the control group received lessons using the teacher’s traditional method. The Self-Efficacy for Learning and Performance Scale, one of the subscales of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), was used to assess high school students’ self-efficacy levels. The findings indicate that simulation-supported POE led to a significant increase in student self-efficacy. The results of this study suggest that employing the POE method with digital tools, such as simulations, in teaching learning environments can enhance teachers’ effectiveness in teaching chemistry compared to the control group.
