Introduction: Questions remain whether recent allowances for remote, simulated clinical experiences adequately prepare students for clinical placements. Recent literature reveals positive student perceptions and descriptions of their experiences with simulation that include repeated practice with a broad range of patient types and disorders, trial…

Role-playing using avatars has been demonstrated as effective, but it has not been compared to role-playing with a live actor. In this study, undergraduate psychology students (N=93) conducted a clinical interview in a role-play with an avatar or live actor. Mixed methods included a survey and written reflection. The study found no differences in…

Discrimination and social determinants of health significantly affect patient care among transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people. The challenges that TGD people face within the healthcare setting are partially attributed to a lack of gender-affirming care education and training for health professionals. Although research is limited on…

Immersive 360 technologies are increasing equity and inclusion, learning motivation, and engagement of students in many educational disciplines. Extension stakeholders could also benefit from the use of this technology in educational settings. The affordability and ease of use adds a tool to the Extension repertoire to interest and engage…

This study examined the implementation of an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) as a competency-based assessment in a graduate speech-language pathology program. Although OSCEs are widely used in health professions education, they remain less common in speech-language pathology. OSCEs provide opportunities to assess clinical skills…

In the context of Indian education, the emphasis transcends mere knowledge acquisition, extending to the cultivation of a profound respect for duties, values, and overall well-being. The overarching objective is to mold students into responsible global citizens, equipping them with the necessary skills and values for meaningful contributions to…

This article describes the outcomes of using a scaffolded set of two digital, simulation-based approaches to support secondary mathematics and science preservice teachers (PSTs) in learning to facilitate argumentation-focused discussions. The researchers investigated PST and teacher educator (TE) impressions of the experience and collected…

Collaboration is key for success across multiple industries, including healthcare settings. In order to prepare students for contemporary and future healthcare landscapes, there is scope for higher education to embrace development of a range of capabilities for collaboration, including those that might be less visible and hard to measure. Using…

A quasi-experimental one group pretest-posttest design was utilized with 19 first-and-second-year doctoral occupational therapy students at a university in Tennessee to evaluate confidence, performance, benefits, challenges, and recommendations from an acute care simulation experience. Student confidence was evaluated using a researcher-developed…

This mixed-methods study explored the impact of cinematic virtual reality (CVR) on seventh-grade students (n = 66) in a school library. The research was comprised of two phases, integrating data from questionnaires and student/teacher interviews. The study focused on "The Displaced," a documentary about child refugees, presented in two…

Purpose: Higher education institutions are undergoing a change in their teaching-learning practices, with the core goal of giving students the necessary skills and competencies to succeed in a complex and uncertain society. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of business simulation as a pedagogical strategy for teaching 21st-century…

This study explores the relationship between vicarious experiences of nature, environmental behavioral beliefs, environmental attitudes and adolescents' environmental behavior. Based on a sample of 1476 adolescents from five high schools in Jiangsu Province, China, we proposed a model that was supported by structural equation modelling analysis.…

Introduction: There is limited evidence on the impact of simulation learning with standardized patients and the affects occupational therapy and physical therapy students' attitudes toward interprofessional teams and the team approach to care. Methods: The current study investigated the Students' Perceptions of Interprofessional Clinical…

Animal dissections have long been central to anatomy and physiology education, despite their costs, safety issues, and ethical concerns. Alternatives like computer-based simulations and synthetic models often fail to replicate the authentic experience of live dissections. Virtual reality (VR) offers an immersive, interactive alternative that…

This mixed methods study explored how the making of animated models affected year 11 students' understanding of the effect of temperature on the equilibrium of an exothermic or endothermic reaction. The students' perspectives and the role of the activity in facilitating a metacognitive process were also examined. Teacher perspectives were also…
