Directed self‐regulated learning versus instructor‐regulated learning in simulation training

Both IRL and DSRL led to improved LP performance immediately after practice. Whereas the IRL group's skills declined after 3 months, the DSRL group's performance was maintained, suggesting a potential long-term benefit of this training. Participants in the DSRL group also developed a more accurate relationship between confidence and competence following practice. Further research is needed to clarify the mechanisms of self-regulated learning and its role in simulation contexts.
