Key Points

• This research aims to analyze how expectancy beliefs and task values influence diagnostic competences in learning environments.
• Conducted a meta-analysis using individual participant data.
• Examined the relationships between expectancy beliefs, task values, and diagnostic competences.
• Included various simulation-based learning settings.
• Expectancy beliefs positively correlate with improved task values.
• Higher task values lead to better diagnostic competences.
• Simulation-based learning enhances participants' engagement and learning outcomes.
