Several analyses were conducted on the data. For the first research questions, concept maps were analysed using social network analysis measuring the concept maps' density, distance between concepts, and reciprocity between concepts (Borgatti, Everett, & Freeman, 2002). Furthermore, the number of concepts, links between concepts, depth of the network, and the number of clusters were established at the pre-and post-test. Regarding the second research question, concept maps were compared at the pre-and post-test with an expert on level of agreement. The above-mentioned measurements of the pre-and post-intervention concept maps were compared using a paired samples t-test. For the third research question, the post-intervention vignettes were compared with expert vignettes by calculating absolute differences between PST and experts. Finally, an ANOVA was used to determine if the device used for watching the videos (e.g., mobile phone in VR headset, only mobile phone, laptop, tablet) influenced PSTs' theory-based interpersonal knowledge structures, development, and application. This chapter gives insights about the influence of the Virtual Classroom on PSTs' theorybased interpersonal knowledge structures, theory-based interpersonal knowledge development, and theory-based interpersonal knowledge application.
Discussion and reflectionChapter 7 supplies an overall discussion and reflection on this dissertation. The main research and sub-questions will be answered. Furthermore, a reflection on the interventions (respectively the Virtual Internships and the Virtual Classroom), a reflection on the theoretical concepts, a reflection on the methodology, implications for practice, and suggestions for future research are given.
