“…Motivation is considered a central factor in the majority of reviewed studies (Felicia, 2011;Ljungkvist & Mozelius, 2012;von Wangenheim et al, 2012;Bellotti et al, 2013;Hannig et al, 2013;Ahmad et al, 2013;Pløhn, 2013;Denholm et al, 2012;Dzeng et al, 2014;Lancaster, 2014;Ariffin et al, 2014;Bolliger et al, 2015;Cózar-Gutiérrez, & Sáez-López, 2016;Dankbaar et al, 2016;Fu et al, 2016). Some results suggest the effectiveness of GBL in motivating and achieving learning goals can be found at the lower levels of Bloom's taxonomy (e.g.…”

“…Tasks framed as games and simulations are deployed to develop a diverse range of cognitive skills, such as deep learning (Vos & Brennan, 2010;Young et al, 2012;Erhel & Jamet, 2013;Crocco et al, 2016), critical thinking and scientific reasoning (Beckem & Watkins, 2012;Halpern et al, 2012;Ahmad, 2013), action-directed learning (Lu et al, 2014), transformative learning (Kleinheskel, 2014), decision-making (Tiwari, 2014), knowledge acquisition and content understanding (Terzidou, 2012;Elias, 2014;Fu et al, 2016), spatial abilities (Adams et al, 2016), and problem solving Lancaster, 2014). The effect of games and simulations on learning remains a controversial issue amongst researchers in the field, as it will be further confirmed in this article.…”

The focus of higher education institutions is the preparation of future professionals. To achieve this aim, innovative teaching methods are often deployed, including games and simulations, which form the subject of this paper. As the field of digital games and simulations is ever maturing, this paper attempts to systematically review the literature relevant to games and simulation pedagogy in higher education. Two researchers collaborate to apply a qualitative method, coding and synthesizing the results using multiple criteria. The main objective is to study the impact of games and simulations with regard to achieving specific learning objectives. On balance, results indicate that games and/or simulations have a positive impact on learning goals. The researchers identify three learning outcomes when integrating games into the learning process: cognitive, behavioural, and affective. As a final step, the authors consolidate evidence for the benefit of academics and practitioners in higher education interested in the efficient use of games and simulations for pedagogical purposes. Such evidence also provides potential options and pathways for future research.

Objectives: to evaluate the cognitive learning of nursing students in neonatal clinical evaluation from a blended course with the use of computer and laboratory simulation; to compare the cognitive learning of students in a control and experimental group testing the laboratory simulation; and to assess the extracurricular blended course offered on the clinical assessment of preterm infants, according to the students. Method: a quasi-experimental study with 14 Portuguese students, containing pretest, midterm test and post-test. The technologies offered in the course were serious game e-Baby, instructional software of semiology and semiotechnique, and laboratory simulation. Data collection tools developed for this study were used for the course evaluation and characterization of the students. Nonparametric statistics were used: Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon. Results: the use of validated digital technologies and laboratory simulation demonstrated a statistically significant difference (p = 0.001) in the learning of the participants. The course was evaluated as very satisfactory for them. The laboratory simulation alone did not represent a significant difference in the learning. Conclusions: the cognitive learning of participants increased significantly. The use of technology can be partly responsible for the course success, showing it to be an important teaching tool for innovation and motivation of learning in healthcare.

“…Esta nueva tendencia conocida en inglés como "Serious Games" tiene entre sus principales aplicaciones el desarrollo de simuladores (Zyda, 2005), pues se toma ventaja de las bondades que herramientas como las plataformas para el desarrollo de aplicaciones virtuales, motores de física, procesadores de cómputo y procesadores gráficos ofrecen para desarrollar modelos más detallados. Este nuevo concepto se ha aplicado exitosamente en diferentes contextos, por ejemplo en la industria (Guo et al, 2012;Brasil et al, 2011), la salud (Lancaster, 2014;Erazo et al, 2014;de O Andrade et al, 2013), la educación (Schäfer et al, 2013;AdamoVillani et al, 2013;Khayat et al, 2012), lo militar (da SilvaSimones y Ferreira, 2011), la seguridad pública (García-García et al, 2012;Backlund et al, 2007), etc.…”

ResumenEn este trabajo se propone el uso de plataformas para el desarrollo de aplicaciones virtuales como herramientas para el modelado de robots manipuladores. La propuesta se basa en aprovechar el gran potencial que actualmente tienen estas plataformas para solucionar la dinámica de cuerpos rígidos, lo que permite modelar de forma sencilla los aspectos mecánicos del manipulador. Por otro lado, la posibilidad ofrecida por estas plataformas de incorporar código de programación en lenguajes convencionales, permite modelar el comportamiento dinámico de sistemas físicos reales, tales como sensores y actuadores, lo que hace posible la implementación de una etapa virtual de instrumentación y control tal y como se realiza en un robot real. El uso de estas plataformas permite modelar desde cero cualquier robot manipulador. El modelado de un robot paralelo reconfigurable es presentado como caso de estudio.
