Meta-analysis reveals simulation-based learning enhances cognitive skills in students, suggesting effective instructional support strategies.

Simulation-based learning improves cognitive skills, particularly in medical education and problem-solving abilities.
Evidence from 145 studies involving 10,532 students indicates a positive effect size for overall simulation-based learning.
The analysis identified significant moderating variables, including simulation type, length, and instructional support.
Instructional supports, such as scaffolding, significantly enhanced learning outcomes when combined with simulation-based learning.
