“…Furthermore, that a focus on producing reality instead of merely imitating reality (Ahn & Rimpiläinen, 2018) benefits the students' learning process and consequently their learning outcome. As found in relation to nurse students (Lawrence et al, 2018), the students in the social-and healthcare programme enjoy learning in a high-fidelity setting. The analysis shows that structural fidelity seems to have some significance, with students taking simulations with a mannequin more seriously than those based on role-play.…”

“…From a learning perspective, these realistic situations may bring about an extraneous cognitive load that is not conducive to the learning process (Chen et al, 2015;Grierson, 2014;Norman et al, 2012;Tosterud, Hedelin & Hall-Lord, 2013). Concerning students' learning processes, a study addressing the technical aspects of high-fidelity simulation in particular showed that high fidelity is valuable for the students' engagement, realism producing an urgency in the situation (Lawrence, Messias & Carson, 2018).…”

The article concerns fidelity in relation to using mannequins in simulation-based training in social-and healthcare education. The article addresses two issues. What influences fidelity, and how does the degree of fidelity influence the students' learning processes? Simulation-based training is organized in three phases; briefing, scenario, and debriefing. The article focuses on the scenario phase. A central issue in relation to the scenario phase is fidelity; i.e. the degree to which the scenario matches the practice it is intended to simulate. The article deals with the factors that influence the students' perception of fidelity and with the impact of degree of fidelity on the students' learning processes. The empirical data include obser-views, combining observations with interviews with students and teachers in social-and healthcare colleges. The analysis shows that a high degree of fidelity simulation in the sense of employing a mannequin has advantages, such as engaging students in learning and enabling them to try out practical skills. Moreover, the degree of fidelity should be adjusted to the students' practical experiences in order to optimize their learning process. Lower degrees of fidelity may have a positive impact on developing creative thinking and reducing the students' anxiety. The implication for developing practice is that the social-and healthcare colleges employ a multifaceted approach to fidelity based on ensuring optimal learning conditions for the students. The implication for further research is to specify and systematize the interrelation of learning outcome targets, students' qualifications and the usages of different degrees of fidelity.
