Study of 2nd year technology students who were about to do workshop practice. Some of them were given practice on a simulator for machine tools prior to be introduced to the real thing the remainder of the class were a control group. The results are a bit inconclusive probably those who like computers were motivated by it, others weren't. Specifically thee was a gender biased. However there are some interesting takeaways:
Simulation Based Learning (SBL) appears to be a new acronym.
The amount of effort NTU/singapore can put into a simulator is very impressive.
The use of a behavioural psychologist to reference use Self Determination Theory (SDT) was excellent use of multi-disciplinary research
