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 i3 Meta-analysis of four RCTs found a significant difference in learning satisfaction favouring VR over the control teaching modality (SMD = 1.14, 95% CI [0.85, 1.43], P < 0.001). → Liu Kai 2023

q3 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r2
Fixed-effects meta-analysis of four randomized controlled trials measuring learning satisfaction; heterogeneity was low (P = 0.36, I2 = 7%). The pooled "SMD = 1.14" favoured VR over the control teaching modality.
"The combined results showed a significant difference in the improvement of satisfaction with nursing education with VR technology compared to the control teaching modality (SMD = 1.14, 95% CI [0.85, 1.43], P < 0.001, Fig. 7)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- VR instruction shows no statistically significant advantage for nursing students' critical thinking (SMD = 0.79, p = 0.07) — related
- VR instruction shows a statistically significant difference in nursing students' practical skills versus traditional methods, though the pooled estimate is small (SMD = 0.15) — related
- Review syntheses: VR/AR most often improved academic achievement and motivation, but sometimes performed no better than conventional technologies — a broader claim this one bears on
- Digital clinical skills teaching produces higher student satisfaction and engagement across multiple modalities, despite mixed efficacy for skills — related
- VR instruction improves nursing students' theoretical knowledge more than traditional teaching methods (SMD = 0.97) — related
