In response to the industrial world becoming more complex and the recent social distancing caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, emerging technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) are gaining importance for industrial training. The novelty, however, does not lie in the sole use of VR-based technology but rather in its adaptive and flexible nature. This…

In this paper, we adopted an information-processing perspective to examine the relationship between cognitive engagement and students' performance in a simulation-based training environment. In particular, we examined what forms of cognitive engagement students used while diagnosing virtual patients and whether engagement forms predicted students'…

This paper addresses the challenge of integrating a dialog system with an ITS created for supporting procedural training in a 3D virtual environment. To this end, we first describe the desired features of the dialog to be provided to students in such system. Then, we explain some technical issues of our proposal such as the architecture; the…

Humanoid robotics is an emerging field striving to deploy technological devices capable of resembling and mimicking the human form. Primarily, the capability of human-like robots to interact with people has proved to be contributory in areas such as education and caretaking, but less so in adult training. In this study, we outline the design and…

The considerable proliferation of serious games (SG) in management education necessitates an academic foundation grounded in the concepts and practice of leadership, Flow, learning and development theory. Going beyond addressing the benefits of SG, this study is the first to demonstrate the successful use of SG in two areas: (a) teaching Flow…

The aim of the study was to determine the conditions for improving athletes' training effectiveness at the final stage of staying in the mountainous terrain and in the first days of reacclimatization. The study also aimed to identify the effectiveness of digital education tools as an improvement of athletes' sports performance. The study covered…

Virtual reality (VR) based simulation is emerging as an innovative tool for the training and education of healthcare professionals. However, pedagogical frameworks specific to this type of simulation are yet missing. This paper explores participants' experiences with VR-based simulation training in non-technical skills (VR-SIMI) and integrates…

This paper aims to study the features of vocal improvisation using interactive musical technologies. The survey method contributed to determining the level of vocal skills of 214 respondents auditioned before the experiment. The authors developed a training programme based on previously received information. It included breathing, technical,…

Simulation has an ever-increasing role in health professions' education, however there is limited evidence on the transferability of learning to practice. In this study, a pragmatic approach using a convergent mixed methods design explored the use of a virtual high-fidelity Computed Tomography (CT) simulator in preparing students for clinical…

This study is related to the transfer of the header motor skill in soccer from a virtual reality (VR) sport's training to the real world. A total of 61 children (37 females) between 9 and 11 years of age were distributed into three groups: a control group without training; a second group that was trained in an original VR environment developed by…

Facilitating decision making in authentic contexts is an important educational objective of professional training. To enable learners to have more opportunities to practice in authentic contexts under the guidance of instructors, the flipped learning mode of shifting the lectures to be the pre-class activity with the presentation of digital media…

In professional training courses, developing incumbents' professional knowledge and problem-solving skills when facing clinical and urgent situations is a crucial point. In conventional professional training, usually the learning content is delivered in a lecture-based mode using instructional videos with some case studies. In such a training…

Being efficient learners is important in the modern workforce, but improved performance and cognitive load do not imply that students are efficient learners. This study investigated the effectiveness of a personalized role-playing game in students' learning efficiency (LE) and mental efficiency. Results showed that students in the personalized…

Nursing students participating in labor support training need to learn core clinical skills to assess the delivery process to reduce the risk and labor pain of pregnant women. We proposed an approach to integrate scenario game-based learning with the experiential learning strategy to facilitate nursing students' learning performance and six core…

The majority of previous studies focused on the role of social responsibility (SR) in business settings, however, how to incorporate SR into translation training appears to be unexplored. This study concerns incorporating SR authentic activities into translator training through situated learning in translation projects. It investigates how…
