Science laboratory is an important facility in a school learning process. However, many school laboratories have not been used properly. One of the reasons of this situation should be the poor knowledge regarding laboratory management.
The material for this workshop was presented by Dr. Yunia, M.Pd. who emphasized about the importance of laboratory equipment usage and its maintenance. It should be considered as mandate, thus should be used properly.
