Welcome to the Twitter account of the COSIMA Research Unit!

The goal of the COSIMA research unit is to analyse how simulation-based learning environments in the university context can be designed and implemented in order to facilitate the acquisition of diagnostic competences,

We investigated pre-service teachers' assessment processes using digital simulation log data. Findings reveal distinct engagement modes linked to individual interest. Find the details here: https://t.co/SZoRMtGoaT

@COSIMA_MUNICH research unit data aggregated: learners’ experience scales are comparable across medical and teacher education and bring valuable insights about diagnostic accuracy. See more in our new open access paper: https://t.co/n4PSAbKBht

New open access Special Issue "Facilitating Diagnostic Competences with Simulations" is now available online.
A fine mix of a conceptual paper, a meta-analysis and empirical papers to dive into salience and instructional support in simulations.
