Automated multimodal visual analytics of social and epistemic dimensions in team communication for reflective practice in healthcare simulation.

q2 · i? · qualitative · r?

Perceptions were gathered through interviews with 15 learners and 5 educators, who rated usefulness on a 7-point Likert scale and explained their ratings. The article reports that the identified comprehensibility and perceived usefulness suggest the potential feasibility of adapting the networks into pedagogical instruments.

"Lastly, we further interviewed these learners and the 5 educators who led the reflection sessions to explore the perceived usefulness of these networks in facilitating reflection on communication (RQ3)."
