q2 i? All 39 single-group pre/post studies showed improvement after distance simulation training, in self-assessment (n = 13), knowledge (n = 3), or skills acquisition (n = 23). → Wei W 2026

q2 · i? · review · r3

Review synthesis of 39 single-group pre/post studies of distance simulation; the review reports all showed improvement in self-assessment (n = 13), knowledge (n = 3), or skills acquisition (n = 23).

"Thirty-nine studies used a single-group pre/postdesign, and all showed an improvement after distance simulation training either in self-assessment (n = 13), knowledge (n = 3), or skills acquisition (n = 23)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• The simulation increased teacher candidates' confidence and self-efficacy for addressing sensitive topics, but did not alleviate concerns about parent and administrator backlash — related
• A within-subjects pilot with 27 professional software engineers found statistically significant self-reported self-efficacy gains across all 10 assessed skill areas after completing the cc-self-train curriculum — related
• Three comparative studies reported superior outcomes for distance simulation over traditional training, involving augmented reality telementoring, remote robotic teaching, and a virtual classroom — related
• Simulation-based curriculum with deliberate practice improved cognitive knowledge and cardiovascular assessment skills from pre-test to post-test (Jeffries et al. study) — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
