- Abstract
This article discusses the use of simulations in higher education to facilitate the development of professional skills in various domains, such as teacher and medical education. Simulations allow students to practice authentic problems designed for learning and enable the investigation of the learning process and assessment possibilities. The article focuses on diagnostic competencies, which involve collecting, integrating, and correctly assessing information to make professional decisions. Theoretical considerations, meta-analysis, and experimental studies are presented to explore the determinants of simulation effectiveness. The article emphasizes the importance of authenticity and salience in simulation design and provides insights for creating effective simulation-based learning environments. Feedback and scaffolding are also examined in relation to facilitating diagnostic competencies. The findings suggest that adaptive feedback and conceptual knowledge prompts can enhance diagnostic argumentation and judgment accuracy in teacher education programs. The article concludes by highlighting the need for cross-domain theoretical models and the development of a common language to facilitate knowledge transfer and the transfer of good practices in simulation-based learning.
