Summary: | Nurse educators design simulations with the intent that students transfer previous academic learning. Transfer of learning (TOL) is a complex and abstract concept with critical literature gaps needing measurement research. This study examined the association between simulation characteristics and students' TOL attitudes and the effect strength. This baseline study evidenced simulation design characteristics, as category groupings, were associated with students' TOL attitudes with positive and mostly modest effects. The resulting educational implications include applying instructional design to simulation, teaching students what TOL is, and modeling thinking in the classroom for transfer to simulation. |
