Role of Simulation-Based Learning in Skill Development of Students: An Empirical Study in Context of ICT-Driven Education World

Abstract

In the age of ICT-driven education, simulation-based learning is essential for students' skill development. Students can practice and apply theoretical knowledge in a safe, controlled setting by using realistic and immersive scenarios created by simulations, which make use of cutting-edge technology. By letting students actively interact with the content, this approach improves critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities. By bridging the gap between classroom instruction and real-world application in fields like business, engineering, and medical, simulation-based learning offers a hands-on experience that traditional approaches frequently do not. Additionally, it helps students retain information better and get a deeper knowledge of the material, preparing them for challenges in their industries in the future. Overall, simulation-based learning is an effective instrument that greatly aids in the development of critical abilities and is consistent with the dynamic and participatory character of contemporary education. 213 students were surveyed to know the factors that determines different role of Simulation-based learning in Skill Development of Students and found that Enhanced Engagement, Skill Development, Adaptability and Customization and Collaborative Learning Opportunities are the factors that determines different role of Simulation-based learning in Skill Development of Students.
