Abstract
In this paper, a virtual reality based nursing skill training is proposed to evaluate the learning efficiency improvement under the simulation learning theory. To perform this goal, a VR subcutaneous injection scenario is constructed and used as the skill training sample for the two-year college nursing students to understand their experience during the VR training process. The constructed training system includes completed step by step operations and the on line test function to fulfill the interactive self-training and skill evaluation functions. According to the designed goal, this learning methodology can achieve better learning performance and increasing the learning motivation while reducing the corresponding cost and effort significantly. It is observed from the students’ feedback that the learning strategy, compared with the traditional teaching methods, can not only improves the student’s interest in skill training but also enhances the learning performance. That is, the proposed teaching auxiliary system can improve both the student’s interest and learning performance, and is practical to extend into other skill training fields in the future.
