Participants in this arm will receive basic clinical skills training using a VR goggle-supported virtual reality model specifically designed for midwifery education. The VR module includes interactive simulations, step-by-step procedural guidance, and scenario-based skill practice. Training will be delivered individually under supervision and will cover essential midwifery clinical skills.

Participants in this arm will receive traditional basic clinical skills training using standard educational methods such as demonstration, skills laboratory practice, and return demonstration. This training follows the current curriculum used in midwifery clinical skills education and does not include virtual reality components.

The VR-based training intervention includes an immersive Virtual Reality clinical skills module delivered through VR goggles. Participants receive structured, scenario-based training covering basic midwifery clinical skills, such as hand hygiene, aseptic technique, vital signs assessment, perineal care, and safe birth positioning. Each session is conducted using interactive 3D simulations that allow learners to observe, practice, and repeat psychomotor and decision-making steps in a risk-free virtual environment. The training is standardized across participants, lasts approximately 30 minutes per session, and is delivered by an instructor trained in VR-assisted education.

Performance in core midwifery clinical skills (e.g., abdominal examination, Leopold maneuvers, vital signs assessment, hand hygiene, perineal care, and communication skills) will be evaluated using a validated Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) checklist. Higher scores indicate better skill performance. Student satisfaction and self-confidence in learning will be evaluated using the "Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale," which consists of 13 items rated on a five-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The total score ranges from 13 (minimum) to 65 (maximum), and higher scores indicate greater satisfaction with the instructional experience and higher self-confidence in learning.
