Screen-Based Simulation in Nursing School: Help Use and Self-Regulated Learning
Applied Cognitive Psychology, v39 n2 e70046 2025
Screen-based simulation (SBS) can complement traditional nursing courses. We compared the effect of innovative virtual environments not widespread in French nursing schools on self-efficacy, quiz performance, and self-regulated learning behaviors. This quasi-experimental study involved 1183 student nurses. Participants were divided into an experimental group (SBS training; n = 894) and a control group (textual content; n = 289). SBS group performed significantly better than controls (p < 0.001) and improved over time (p < 0.001). Controls performed worse over time (p < 0.001). In the control group, a single medium may have overloaded sensory channels, while SBS spread cognitive load across auditory and visual channels. SBS was more effective than traditional teaching and enhanced self-efficacy. This initial study is encouraging, suggesting further investigation into SBS in training and the analysis of learning behaviors through digital data.
