Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Across 13/42 studies, students reported that TESs provided a safe learning environment where immersion, curiosity, and activation of thoughts and feelings enabled engagement and critical thinking development. → Stenseth Hege Vistven et al 2025

Thematic analysis of RQ 3 data from included studies; the review reports that "TESs provided a safe learning environment" where immersion and curiosity "facilitated the development of critical thinking for nursing students."
"Across several studies (13/42, 31%), nursing students reported that TESs provided a safe learning environment [87,88,109,110,112,122,124,126] where a high level of immersion [92,97,103,108,110,112,126], sparked curiosity [108,113,126], and the activation of thoughts and feelings [92,108,122,131] enabled involvement and engagement and facilitated the development of critical thinking for nursing students."
