This mixed-methods educational study evaluates the integration of concept mapping and artificial intelligence (AI)-supported dialogue into simulation-based learning for nursing students. The learning activities include structured pre-class preparation, concept mapping, AI-supported dialogue using ChatGPT, and participation in simulated clinical scenarios. The study examines students' flow experience, defined as a state of focused engagement, and their learning outcomes.
Quantitative assessments are used to examine critical thinking, self-efficacy, communication skills, and other learning outcomes specified in the study protocol. Interviews and observations are used to explore students' learning processes and experiences. The study also examines whether individual characteristics, including openness and self-efficacy, are associated with learning practices, flow experience, and learning outcomes.
Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
Classes randomized to this arm will complete preclass preparation for pediatric nursing simulation. Students will watch instructional videos, prepare concept maps, engage in structured dialogue with ChatGPT, and upload their work before class. The preclass activities are intended to improve learning readiness and support efficient participation in the in-class course. During class, students will participate in the same high-fidelity scenario-based simulation, virtual reality learning, and instructor-guided discussion as the comparator group.
Classes randomized to this arm will complete standard preclass preparation for pediatric nursing simulation. Students will watch the same instructional videos, prepare concept maps, and upload their work before class, but will not engage in structured dialogue with ChatGPT. The preclass activities are intended to improve learning readiness and support efficient participation in the in-class course. During class, students will participate in the same high-fidelity scenario-based simulation, virtual reality learning, and instructor-guided discussion as the experimental group.
