Abstract: This quantitative research study explores the relationship between digital simulation exposure and conceptual understanding in chemistry among junior high school students at Liberty Bible Baptist Academy Inc. in Bukidnon, Philippines. The study highlights the challenges students face with complex chemistry concepts, which are often exacerbated by traditional teacher-centered instructional methods. A survey was administered to eighty-seven junior high school students to assess their level of digital simulation exposure and conceptual understanding. Results indicate a significant positive correlation (r = 0.467) between digital simulation exposure and conceptual understanding, suggesting that increased interaction with simulations enhances comprehension of difficult concepts. Despite high engagement levels, students expressed lower perceived value of digital simulations, potentially due to a preference for traditional methods. The findings support the integration of digital simulations into chemistry education to foster deeper understanding and improve student outcomes. Recommendations will be provided for effectively incorporating these tools into the curriculum.
