Modeling Students' Perceptions of Simulation-Based Learning Using the Technology Acceptance Model

The findings suggest that in a classroom environment meant to reproduce clinical situations as accurately as possible, students perceive fidelity as influencing their acceptance of SBL but not facilitating conditions. Thus, the extended model explained an important amount of variance in attitudes (R2 = 62.7%) as well as behavioral intentions (R2 = 68.3%) toward a clinically-oriented learning environment for practicing clinical skills, deepening conceptual understanding, applying knowledge, and learning teamwork and communication skills.
