Abstract-Simulation-aided learning has the ability to attract the attention and interest of students to learn. However, the effectiveness of simulation-aided learning requires adequate instructional support to sufficiently achieve the learning objectives. Multimedia Instructional Message (MIM) serves as an instructional support in building this meaningful learning, especially in helping the exploration of complex simulation application, abstract learning content delivery and delivery of learning that requires a combination of skills. Effective MIM strategy depends on the selection of images and the medium of communication used in the delivery of teaching and learning strategies. The effectiveness of the image depends on the form of the graphics used either printed static graphics, digital static graphics or animated digital graphics apart from other factors such as learning styles and students' prior knowledge. Taking these into consideration, this paper proposes a conceptual framework for research related to simulation-aided learning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
