Subclaims¶

q1 i? The authors state that using web-based virtual simulation makes the teaching and learning process student-centred rather than teacher-centred, requiring students to think, analyze situations and think critically. → Ziden and Rahman 2013

q1 · i? · causal · r1

This is the authors' interpretation in the Discussion section, not a separately measured outcome; the article offers no test of student-centredness or critical thinking. It is offered as an explanation of why the simulation supported learning.

"By using the web-based virtual simulation, the teaching and learning process is no longer teacher centered but is a student-centered. In this simulation process they are required to think, analyze situations and think critically on how to resolve the problem."
