Description of the research topic:

In both medical and health sciences education, there has been an increase in expectations regarding undergraduate and postgraduate teaching over the past decade. Alongside acquiring contemporary theoretical knowledge, the quality of education increasingly demands a high level of practical skills as well (Aggarwal & Darzi, 2006; Reznick & MacRae, 2006).

The development and deepening of practical competencies have long been essential components of healthcare education in advanced countries. Similarly, significant emphasis has been placed on maintaining acquired competencies through regular, prescribed practices.

The formation of healthcare practical competencies can only be effectively achieved through a complex educational process. This process not only involves collaboration between students and instructors but also relies on the educational environment and, within it, educational technology. Due to the rapid development of information technology and sciences, increasingly high-quality simulation environments assist practical education in healthcare worldwide. Exploring the development and integration of simulation technology in healthcare is important in this context (Issenberg et al., 2006).

Simulation-based teaching tools have been part of healthcare and even layperson education for decades, such as CPR manikins for resuscitation training or tools for simulating wounds (Michael et al., 1986). However, ensuring the reliability and authenticity of these tools is crucial when simulating realistic practice opportunities, especially when evaluating the educational process (Wilson et al., 2005). Examining this issue becomes increasingly important with the application of modern educational technology.

Various perspectives can be explored in the teaching-learning process, with problem-based practical education being widely adopted in Anglo-Saxon educational systems (Mayo et al., 2004). These approaches allow for the analysis of competencies and taxonomies.
