Subclaims¶

q3 i2 ANCOVA revealed a significant main effect of video reviewing on interest (ηp2 = 0.043), no main effect of operation type, and a non-significant interaction. → Zhanyong Qi 2026 q3 i? Under virtual simulation conditions, participants with video exposure reported higher interest than those without (MD = 1.12, p = 0.008); in hands-on activities the interest difference was not significant. → Zhanyong Qi 2026 (2)

Evidence¶

Zhanyong Qi 2026¶

Zhanyong Qi, Jiayi Wang, Yue Du, Xinyue Zhang. (2026). The effect of blended learning approaches on vocational school students' practical skills performance and learning behaviors: virtual simulations or hands-on activities while accessing instructional videos.

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

ANCOVA of the 2x2 experiment (n = 130) on the 4-item interest scale (Cronbach's α = 0.847): video reviewing main effect ηp2 = 0.043 was significant; operation type and interaction effects were not.

"Regarding interest, ANCOV A revealed a significant main effect of video reviewing (F [1, 125] = 5.58, p = 0.020, ηp2 = 0.043). Nevertheless, there was no main effect on type of operation (F [1, 125] = 0.269, p = 0.605, ηp2 = 0.002), and the interaction effect was also insignificant (F [1, 125] = 1.46, p = 0.230, ηp2 = 0.012)."

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Pairwise contrast from the same ANCOVA showing the video-review interest benefit only "under virtual simulation conditions"; the discussion states there was no significant interest difference between video and non-video students in hands-on activities.

"Under virtual simulation conditions, participants with video exposure demonstrated higher interest perception than those without (MD = 1.12, p = 0.008)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Without video review, hands-on activities enhance vocational students' practical skill performance more effectively than virtual simulations — related
• Video review enhances practical skill performance in both modalities and eliminates the hands-on versus virtual simulation difference — related
• Video review produces more structured reflective behavior patterns, with modality-specific video interaction sequences — related
• Video review scaffolds self-regulated learning, and hands-on activity groups show greater self-regulation than virtual simulation groups — related
• Hands-on activity groups show fewer erroneous operations than correct ones, and hands-on with video review students use video more than virtual simulation peers — related
• Immersive technologies such as virtual reality should reinforce, not substitute, the original educational action — related
• In the few trials comparing them, virtual patients showed no significant knowledge differences versus other digital education, and skills differences in only one of three studies — related
• The review reports that real-world experiential simulations offer affordances beyond virtual-only formats, including heightened presence through embodiment, place, and face-to-face social immersion — related
• Hands-on experiments promote epistemic and value-related situational interest more than computer simulations, while emotional situational interest does not differ — related
