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.
q3 i? Meta-analyses find functional correspondence, together with salience of relevant information, explains more variance in learning outcomes than physical resemblance or general appeals to authenticity. → Charlott Sellberg & Oskar Lindwall 2025
Evidence¶
Charlott Sellberg & Oskar Lindwall 2025¶
Charlott Sellberg & Oskar Lindwall. (2025). Simulation-based training in professional education: learning, participation, and instructional design. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-025-09763-2
q3 · i? · review · r2
The editorial reports, citing Chernikova et al.'s meta-analyses of simulation-based learning in higher education, that "functional correspondence, together with the salience of relevant information" explains more variance in outcomes than physical resemblance. No effect size is printed in the editorial.
"Meta-analyses confirm this emphasis: functional correspondence, together with the salience of relevant information, explains more variance in learning outcomes than either physical resemblance or general appeals to authenticity (Chernikova et al., 2020, 2024)."
