This study was carried out to investigate the current status of simulation use during teaching within health
sciences and engineering faculties at Saudi universities. Simulation in teaching has been shown to be
effective at enhancing student understanding. However, the current status of simulation use in teaching,
especially in Saudi universities, remains unclear. To address this, here we aimed to: determine the ability
of simulation to achieve appropriate levels of realism; identify the effectiveness of simulation at improving
skills, awareness, and knowledge in health sciences and engineering; and test whether simulation improves
the critical and evaluative thinking of students. Data were collected using online questionnaires. We found
that simulation is being effectively applied in Saudi universities.
This study was conducted to review the effect that simulation training programs
for emergency situations involving newborn babies have on nursing students’ clinical
performance. Opportunities for nursing students to clinically practice what they
learned are on the decrease. Even if they take part in practice, they are usually
limited to simple tasks or observation. Given this reality, there is an urgent need to
develop new measures to improve their clinical practice ability. The low fertility rate
that is worsening over time and the difficulty in operating an intensive care unit for
newborn babies has led to a decrease in such departments, leading to difficulties
experienced by a number of universities in allocating clinical training venues. After
conducting a survey on the needs regarding training themes in the nursing of newborn
babies, simulation training programs would have to be developed based on themes
where the needs are the highest.

AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM FRAMEWORK FOR PREDICTING STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE ...ijcsit
Accurate prediction and early identification of student at-risk of attrition are of high concern for higher educational institutions (HEIs). It is of a great importance not only to the students but also to the educational administrators and the institutions in the areas of improving academic quality and efficient utilisation of the available resources for effective intervention. However, despite the different frameworks and various models that researchers have used across institutions for predicting performance, only negligible success has been recorded in terms of accuracy, efficiency and reduction of student
attrition. This has been attributed to the inadequate and selective use of variables for the predictive models. This paper presents a multi-dimensional and an integrated system framework that involves considerable learners’ input and engagement in predicting their academic performance and intervention in HEIs. The purpose and functionality of the framework are to produce a comprehensive, unbiased and efficient way of predicting student performance that its implementation is based upon multi-sources data and database
system. It makes use of student demographic and learning management system (LMS) data from the institutional databases as well as the student psychosocial-personality (SPP) data from the survey collected from the student to predict performance. The proposed approach will be robust, generalizable, and possibly give a prediction at a higher level of accuracy that educational administrators can rely on for providing timely intervention to students.
This course is designed to give students an overview of research versus biostatistics, Stata, test of association, comparisons of means, Correlation and regression, Generalized Linear Models (GLM).
The sessions are designed to introduce the denitions and basic
concepts of biostatistics, statistical inference, t-test, ANOVA, Correlation, Linear regression, logistic regression, Poisson regression, Negative binomial regression, and Zero in
ated poisson regression.
The overall emphasis will be placed on understanding the language of statistics and the art of statistical investigation.

Computer Simulations in Medical Education: An Upward Trendiosrjce
This document discusses the upward trend in the use of computer simulations in medical education, specifically as a replacement for animal laboratories. It notes that animal lab use has declined in recent decades due to cost, ethical concerns, and the availability of computer simulations as an alternative. Studies have found that computer simulations can effectively teach intended learning outcomes while providing advantages like cost savings, repetition, and controlling variables. However, some argue simulations cannot replace all aspects of animal labs and a combination of approaches may be most effective. The document concludes that computer simulations are a valid teaching method that should be effectively implemented with support for faculty, but may not replace animal labs entirely in meeting curriculum objectives.

Evaluation of Students’ Working Postures in School WorkshopWaqas Tariq
Awkward postures are one of the major causes of musculoskeletal problems to be prevented at an early stage. Tackling this problem at the initial stage in schools would be of great importance. Tasks should be designed to avoid strain and damage to any part of the body such as the tendons, muscles, ligaments, and especially the back. Musculoskeletal disorder and back pain problems in adults was partly contributed by having such symptoms in their childhood. It is important to understand the symptoms of low back pain in children and design early interventions to prevent chronic symptoms that they may experience when they are adults. Musculoskeletal disorder and back pain problems in children and adolescent may give great implications in future workforce. The objective of this study was to compare working postures among students 13 to 15 years old while performing tasks in school workshop, therefore problems of musculoskeletal pain among students can be identified. Ergonomic assessments used for this study were the RULA and REBA methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted at a secondary school in Malaysia. Ninety-three working postures were evaluated to find out the posture risk level. Analysis result showed the average score are 4.87 and 5.87 for RULA and REBA methods respectively, which indicate medium risk and need for further action. The results also informed that 13-year old students had higher scores for both methods. Comparison using Kruskal-Wallis rank test showed there were significant differences among age groups for both scores and action levels. 13-year old students have the highest mean rank indicating bigger potential risks of awkward postures. In conclusion, both methods proved the workstation is mismatched for students’ body size especially for younger students. An ergonomic intervention is needed to improve students’ working posture, work performance and level of comfort.
Errors Committed in Integral Calculus Basis for a Review Guideijtsrd
This study determined the errors of engineering students in Integral Calculus in the University of Eastern Philippines UEP , Catarman, Northern Samar as basis in developing a review guide. It adopted a developmental research design. A total of 162 second year Engineering students taking up Integral Calculus, who were enrolled on the Second Semester of School Year 2016 2017,were the respondents of this study.The findings of this study show that majority of the students in Integral Calculus got “fair” to “passing” grades in their pre requisite subjects and that most of the students taking up Integral Calculus are first time takers. As shown in the results, the students had hard time understanding Integral Calculus concepts which comprises the majority of the total errors committed. The other errors committed were concepts in Algebra, Analytic Geometry, Basic Mathematics, Differential Calculus and Plane Trigonometry and due to carelessness in their solutions. These findings indicate that for the preliminary topics in Integral Calculus, the pre requisite subject where most of the students committed errors is Algebra. This can be attributed to some difficulty they are experiencing in recalling the concepts learned in this subject.The findings also show that for the higher integration techniques topics in Integral Calculus, most students are having hard time understanding these integration concepts. And in application of integration concepts in finding plane areas under and between curves and volumes of revolutions, the students lack the skills in sketching the graph.The development of a review guide for remedial instruction prior to and at the early part of the subject Integral Calculus, generally, aims to help the students, taking up Integral Calculus, in recollecting the concepts in its pre requisite subjects. The topics included are the identified concepts in pre Integral Calculus subjects where the engineering students commonly commit errors. Kissa P. Banawis | Benjamin D.

Transfer of Learning using Simulation Based Education among Students of Teach...ijtsrd
Nursing is a scientific profession, based on theory and art of care. However, the theory practice gap has become the biggest challenge of this profession and decreases the quality of service both in teaching and practice. The simulation method allows students to repeatedly practice their clinical skills until they develop a sense of proficiency to learn at their own pace and to freely make mistakes. A simulation is an educational process that can replicate clinical practices in a safe environment. Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore and describe how the fourth year and clinical intern nursing students perceived simulation based learning in contributing their ability to transfer their learning from theory into practice. Objectives To explore the conceptualization of Simulation based learning amongst final year and intern nursing students, and to explore their challenges and perception in implementing it, during their clinical practice. Methods The study used descriptive mixed method and data was collected using focus groups and pre validated semi structured questionnaire. All focus group discussions were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim, and narratives were compared with the recordings to establish accuracy, credibility and reliability of data. Qualitative narratives were translated to English and analysed through an inductive thematic content analysis. Results Two major themes were identified Self confidence and satisfaction subcategorized in terms of enhancing collaboration, improve personal and interpersonal skills, and patient outcomes.

Background This study entitled “the effectiveness of low fidelity simulation training technology in nursing education in Buea municipality” was aimed at examining the effectiveness of low fidelity simulation in the training of nursing students. Low fidelity simulators have been utilized quite effectively by students to practice psychomotor skills in a controlled environment. Methodology A cross sectional descriptive design was used employing a concurrent nested mixed method approach. All students enrolled for undergraduate degree nursing program were involved in the study. Data was collected from 85 nursing students using a semi structured questionnaire from three nursing institutions. Open ended questions were analyzed thematically with the help of exploratory tables whereby umbrella terms codes or themes were derived and integrated in the predefined list of indicators. Close ended questions’ data were entered using EpiData Version 3.1 and analysed with the support of SPSS version 21.0. All statistics were presented at the 95 Confidence Level CL , level of significance or Alpha set at 0.05. Results Findings revealed that nursing students know what a mannequin is 94.1 and identified low fidelity simulation as a support to clinical practice 83.5 . Set objectives were met following simulation activities 78.8 despite its low reality with transfer of knowledge from theory to practice 87.1 indicating increase in frequency of use in training from once a month in first year 57.6 to more than three times a month in the fourth year 51.8 . Also, it was identified from the coded themes that learners enjoy participating in simulations and find them rewarding and educationally satisfying with students indicating that it results in learning, acquisition of knowledge and practical skills amongst others and that more time should be allocated for the simulation activity. Conclusion It is based on these findings that the researcher concludes that low fidelity simulation is an effective teaching and learning method when best practices are adhered to. The researcher therefore recommends that Simulation activities should be carried out more frequently to enable the students become familiar with case scenarios for better understanding when they occur in real clinical practice.

The study investigates whether the study skills can be summarized in a single universal score that measures how hard a student works. The sample consists of 418 undergraduate students of an international university. The presented scoring was method adapted from the domain of risk management. The proposed method computes an overall score that represents the study skills, using a linear weighted summation scheme. From among 50 questions regarding to learning and study skills, the 30 highest weighted questions are suggested to be used in the future studies as a learning and study skills inventor. The proposed scoring method and study yield results and insights that can guide educators regarding how they can improve their students’ study skills. The main point drawn from this study is that the students greatly value opportunities for interaction with instructors and peers, cooperative learning and active engagement in lectures.

Computer Simulations in Medical Education: An Upward Trendiosrjce
This document discusses the upward trend in the use of computer simulations in medical education, specifically as a replacement for animal laboratories. It notes that animal lab use has declined in recent decades due to cost, ethical concerns, and the availability of computer simulations as an alternative. Studies have found that computer simulations can effectively teach intended learning outcomes while providing advantages like cost savings, repetition, and controlling variables. However, some argue simulations cannot replace all aspects of animal labs and a combination of approaches may be most effective. The document concludes that computer simulations are a valid teaching method that should be effectively implemented with support for faculty, but may not replace animal labs entirely in meeting curriculum objectives.

The main purpose of this study was to ascertain the impact of sportsmanship and altruism on casual employees’ performance, a case study of Public Universities in Kenya. Questionnaires were used as data collection tool and a sample population of 225 was taken from five public universities with a response rate of 73%. The data was analysed using SPSS version 16.0. The reliability test of the instrument was tested by using alpha Cronbach and ranged between 0.711 and 0.723.The findings of the study showed that sportsmanship significantly correlated positively with casual employees’ performance (r 2 = 0.064, p < 0.05; β = 0.253, p < 0.05) similar with altruism which correlated significantly with casual employees’ performance (r 2 = 0.320, p < 0.05; β = 0.566, p < 0.05).On mediating the impacts of work environment on casual employees’ performance with sportsmanship and altruism, the coefficient of determination R2 showed a positive change. This therefore indicates that work environment mediates significantly positively with sportsmanship and altruism constructs on casual employees’ performance in Kenyan public universities.
Evaluation of Students’ Working Postures in School WorkshopWaqas Tariq
Awkward postures are one of the major causes of musculoskeletal problems to be prevented at an early stage. Tackling this problem at the initial stage in schools would be of great importance. Tasks should be designed to avoid strain and damage to any part of the body such as the tendons, muscles, ligaments, and especially the back. Musculoskeletal disorder and back pain problems in adults was partly contributed by having such symptoms in their childhood. It is important to understand the symptoms of low back pain in children and design early interventions to prevent chronic symptoms that they may experience when they are adults. Musculoskeletal disorder and back pain problems in children and adolescent may give great implications in future workforce. The objective of this study was to compare working postures among students 13 to 15 years old while performing tasks in school workshop, therefore problems of musculoskeletal pain among students can be identified. Ergonomic assessments used for this study were the RULA and REBA methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted at a secondary school in Malaysia. Ninety-three working postures were evaluated to find out the posture risk level. Analysis result showed the average score are 4.87 and 5.87 for RULA and REBA methods respectively, which indicate medium risk and need for further action. The results also informed that 13-year old students had higher scores for both methods. Comparison using Kruskal-Wallis rank test showed there were significant differences among age groups for both scores and action levels. 13-year old students have the highest mean rank indicating bigger potential risks of awkward postures. In conclusion, both methods proved the workstation is mismatched for students’ body size especially for younger students. An ergonomic intervention is needed to improve students’ working posture, work performance and level of comfort.
Errors Committed in Integral Calculus Basis for a Review Guideijtsrd
This study determined the errors of engineering students in Integral Calculus in the University of Eastern Philippines UEP , Catarman, Northern Samar as basis in developing a review guide. It adopted a developmental research design. A total of 162 second year Engineering students taking up Integral Calculus, who were enrolled on the Second Semester of School Year 2016 2017,were the respondents of this study.The findings of this study show that majority of the students in Integral Calculus got “fair” to “passing” grades in their pre requisite subjects and that most of the students taking up Integral Calculus are first time takers. As shown in the results, the students had hard time understanding Integral Calculus concepts which comprises the majority of the total errors committed. The other errors committed were concepts in Algebra, Analytic Geometry, Basic Mathematics, Differential Calculus and Plane Trigonometry and due to carelessness in their solutions. These findings indicate that for the preliminary topics in Integral Calculus, the pre requisite subject where most of the students committed errors is Algebra. This can be attributed to some difficulty they are experiencing in recalling the concepts learned in this subject.The findings also show that for the higher integration techniques topics in Integral Calculus, most students are having hard time understanding these integration concepts. And in application of integration concepts in finding plane areas under and between curves and volumes of revolutions, the students lack the skills in sketching the graph.The development of a review guide for remedial instruction prior to and at the early part of the subject Integral Calculus, generally, aims to help the students, taking up Integral Calculus, in recollecting the concepts in its pre requisite subjects. The topics included are the identified concepts in pre Integral Calculus subjects where the engineering students commonly commit errors. Kissa P. Banawis | Benjamin D.

Transfer of Learning using Simulation Based Education among Students of Teach...ijtsrd
Nursing is a scientific profession, based on theory and art of care. However, the theory practice gap has become the biggest challenge of this profession and decreases the quality of service both in teaching and practice. The simulation method allows students to repeatedly practice their clinical skills until they develop a sense of proficiency to learn at their own pace and to freely make mistakes. A simulation is an educational process that can replicate clinical practices in a safe environment. Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore and describe how the fourth year and clinical intern nursing students perceived simulation based learning in contributing their ability to transfer their learning from theory into practice. Objectives To explore the conceptualization of Simulation based learning amongst final year and intern nursing students, and to explore their challenges and perception in implementing it, during their clinical practice. Methods The study used descriptive mixed method and data was collected using focus groups and pre validated semi structured questionnaire. All focus group discussions were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim, and narratives were compared with the recordings to establish accuracy, credibility and reliability of data. Qualitative narratives were translated to English and analysed through an inductive thematic content analysis. Results Two major themes were identified Self confidence and satisfaction subcategorized in terms of enhancing collaboration, improve personal and interpersonal skills, and patient outcomes.

Background This study entitled “the effectiveness of low fidelity simulation training technology in nursing education in Buea municipality” was aimed at examining the effectiveness of low fidelity simulation in the training of nursing students. Low fidelity simulators have been utilized quite effectively by students to practice psychomotor skills in a controlled environment. Methodology A cross sectional descriptive design was used employing a concurrent nested mixed method approach. All students enrolled for undergraduate degree nursing program were involved in the study. Data was collected from 85 nursing students using a semi structured questionnaire from three nursing institutions. Open ended questions were analyzed thematically with the help of exploratory tables whereby umbrella terms codes or themes were derived and integrated in the predefined list of indicators. Close ended questions’ data were entered using EpiData Version 3.1 and analysed with the support of SPSS version 21.0. All statistics were presented at the 95 Confidence Level CL , level of significance or Alpha set at 0.05. Results Findings revealed that nursing students know what a mannequin is 94.1 and identified low fidelity simulation as a support to clinical practice 83.5 . Set objectives were met following simulation activities 78.8 despite its low reality with transfer of knowledge from theory to practice 87.1 indicating increase in frequency of use in training from once a month in first year 57.6 to more than three times a month in the fourth year 51.8 . Also, it was identified from the coded themes that learners enjoy participating in simulations and find them rewarding and educationally satisfying with students indicating that it results in learning, acquisition of knowledge and practical skills amongst others and that more time should be allocated for the simulation activity. Conclusion It is based on these findings that the researcher concludes that low fidelity simulation is an effective teaching and learning method when best practices are adhered to. The researcher therefore recommends that Simulation activities should be carried out more frequently to enable the students become familiar with case scenarios for better understanding when they occur in real clinical practice.

This study aimed to identify, analyze and determine the level of self-efficacy and self-esteem of B.S. Information Technology (BSIT) students of a higher learning institution in Nueva Ecija, Philippines. It was conducted during the 1st Semester of the academic year 2019-2020. This research utilized descriptive approach to describe the level of self-esteem and self-efficacy of the students and to draw valuable insights that may contribute to the improvement of the teaching and learning practices of the faculty members in the college. The researchers used random sampling to ensure that all year levels are well represented in the study. There were 285 students who voluntarily responded after the researchers explained to them the purpose of this study. Responses were tallied, summarized and interpreted. Results show that the level of self-esteem and self-efficacy of the students were moderate/medium (WM=2.03, WM=2.08). This indicates that depending on the given situation or context, students may increase or decrease the level of their self-esteem and self-efficacy. This study suggest that students may be exposed to more activities that may help them improve their self-esteem and self-efficacy to greatly contribute to their holistic development. Future studies may be conducted to a larger number of respondents and to understand the link between self-efficacy and self-esteem on their academic performance, drop-out rates, and retention rates.

ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to investigate the current status of simulation use during teaching within health
sciences and engineering faculties at Saudi universities. Simulation in teaching has been shown to be
effective at enhancing student understanding. However, the current status of simulation use in teaching,
especially in Saudi universities, remains unclear. To address this, here we aimed to: determine the ability
of simulation to achieve appropriate levels of realism; identify the effectiveness of simulation at improving
skills, awareness, and knowledge in health sciences and engineering; and test whether simulation improves
the critical and evaluative thinking of students. Data were collected using online questionnaires. We found
that simulation is being effectively applied in Saudi universities.

1. INTRODUCTION
Simulation in teaching or learning can be described as an artificial representation of the real
world through experiment to attain specific skills (Deng et al. 2015). Simulation enables learners
to acquire skills and knowledge by working in a relatively simplified system. Simulations mostly
used to improve skills in health care. In teaching, simulation is used to improve critical as well as
evaluative thinking. This is because most teaching simulations are open-ended or ambiguous,
encouraging the student to contemplate the scenario. As discussed by Lin and Cheng (2015),
simulation helps learners understand contents through experiments. Through simulation, students
are more engaged compared to the cortical learning without experimentation. As discussed by
Action et al. (2015), simulation helps students to appreciate the management of politics, culture,
and the environment. For instance, a student participating in the act of distribution might gain a
better understanding of equality in society. Therefore, the skills of that student can be reinforced
indirectly through research skills or debating. However, the experiences of the simulation might
be more realistic than the experiences gained through other techniques. Thus, simulation allows
students to become more engaged, often forgetting the educational aims of the exercise. Some of
the simulations usually have elements of competition, and in such cases, it is important to remind
the student that the important thing is not winning but acquiring understanding and knowledge.
This study aimed to determine the current status of simulation in teaching within health sciences
and engineering faculties at Saudi Universities.
2. BACKGROUND
Simulation has been used in various Saudi universities and for multiple purposes, but mostly
applying similar principles (Action et al. 2015).

In Saudi Arabia, the number of students taking courses within health sciences and engineering
faculties has been increasing at an exponential rate. According to Beal et al. (2017), the health
sector has been increasing over time. To enhance the quality of training, Saudi universities have
been emphasizing the use of simulation in science and engineering. As a result, these students are
offered better education services; achieve better understanding, and acquiring more knowledge.
Therefore, the students get the required competency at the end of their training.
3. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Simulation in teaching is important because it enhances student understanding. Simulations
achieve this mainly by helping students to better contemplate various problems that might occur
in their area of study. As students carry out various experiments, they become familiar with
concepts and acquire the required skills and knowledge. In Saudi Arabia, the number of hospitals
has been increasing rapidly. Since 1986, the number of health institutions in Saudi Arabia has
increased from three to more than 100 (Kassem et al. 2017).Both health sciences and engineering
can work together to produce health professionals.
Additionally, various researchers have been carrying out studies related to simulation in teaching.
For instance, Nousianen et al. (2016) investigated the availability of simulation used in teaching
orthopedic residents in a curriculum that is competency-based, and Lin and Cheng investigated on
the role that simulation plays in teaching pediatric resuscitation. Udani et al. (2015) have
investigated the use of simulation in teaching regional anesthesia, and Beal et al. (2017)
investigated point‐of‐care teaching versus simulation‐based teaching for identification of basic
transoesophageal echocardiography views. However, to our knowledge, no study has attempted to
investigate the current status of simulation use in teaching within health sciences and engineering
faculties in Saudi Universities. Here we aim to address this gap in the literature.
4. OBJECTIVES
The principal objective of this study was to determine the current status of simulation use in
health sciences and engineering faculties in Saudi Universities. The specific objectives were;
To determine the ability of simulation to offer appropriate levels of realism;
To identify the effectiveness of simulation in improving skills, raising awareness, and providing
information in the health sciences and engineering; and
To investigate whether simulation improves critical and evaluative thinking.
5. IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY
This study will provide a better understanding of the use of simulation in health sciences and
engineering. This will likely lead to greater use of simulation, thereby improving the evaluative
and critical thinking of the students.
6. LITERATURE REVIEW
Theoretical Literature
According to Ogilvie et al. (2016), simulations are scenarios illustrated in a learning process,
whereby the learner is placed in a real-life situation. Simulations represent a reality, whereby the
students are allowed to interact. Therefore, students experience reality in the scenario and gather
3. Computer Applications: An International Journal (CAIJ), Vol.6, No.1/2/3, August 2019
3
information in terms of meaning from that scenario (Bean et al., 2017). In the study of Lin and
Cheng (2015), simulation is a means of experiential learning.
Simulation can, through a student-centered approach, enhance constructivist teaching and
learning. The simulationmight contain a game, a role, or even an activity. In most cases,
simulations are non-linear and include ambiguity, in which students are expected to make
decisions. Therefore, the success of a simulation is determined by the commitment and
inventiveness of the participants.
Simulations in Engineering
The use of simulations has increased in many engineering practices (Udani et al. 2015). This is
because simulations provide unprecedented access to the real world. Also, simulations are freed
from certain limitations (e.g., unrealistic parameters, cost constraints, and health and safety
concerns).According to Mc Cabe et al. (2016); simulation in engineering has become
fundamental in the generation of predicting models in climate change, weather, and atmospheric
behaviors. In return, it has enhanced a broad analysis and design in the area, thus improving the
competence of engineers. Various organizations that require engineers during production have
also incorporated simulations into their processes. The appropriate use of computers or other
machines can enhance the production of goods and delivery of services. Furthermore, simulation
in engineering is applied in various contexts, including communication, transportation, and
defense. Lin and Cheng (2015) argue that simulation has long been applied (for decades) in
engineering.
Deng et al. (2015) have reported a relative underuse of simulation in Saudi Arabia relative to
Europe and Japan. Nevertheless, Kassem et al. (2017) have noted that the proportion of students
studying science and engineering in Saudi Arabia is increasing.
Health Sciences
Simulation is being increasingly applied in health sciences. According to Ogivile et al. (2016),
most diseases and their treatment require physical responses and involve complex interactions.
During the teaching of health sciences, simulations are mainly used to increase the students’
understanding of diseases and their treatment (Action et al. 2015). The importance of
computerscience in the teaching of health sciences has increased. A major challenge in the
application of simulation to health sciences is being able to represent biological systems at the
organ, tissues, and cellular scales. Therefore, simulation in medical practices requires an
understanding of complex systems. Thus, the teaching of both engineering and health sciences
requires sophisticated technologies and computer analyses.
Historically, medicine has combined both empiricism and diagnosis (Boto et al. 2016).
Simulation in health sciences improves medical practices by helping to predict treatment
outcomes. Statistical analyses are also carried out to ensure treatment efficacy (Willems et al.,
2017).
Empirical Literature/Case Studies
In 2016, Nousiainen et al. carried out a study in teaching orthopedic residents in a competency-
based curriculum. This study aimed at enabling surgeons to gain a better understanding of bone
and muscle deformities. The study also investigated cost reduction during the treatment of these
diseases. From the study, effective medical services are achieved by having qualified and
experienced doctors. This can also help to improve the time in which the services are offered,
serving many patients within a short period (Jeffries et al. 2015). Greasley (2017) also tested

whether simulation could improve the effectiveness of various activities in multipledisciplines.
The study majored at improving the critical and evaluative thinking, improving skills, awareness
and health information and measuring appropriate realism. The study applied a primary source in
data collection, and after the analysis, it displayed a positive relationship between the variables
and the model. This significantly showed that these were the main agendas of simulation.
Research Gaps
Nousiainen et al. (2016) investigated the competence of orthopedic residents and aimed to
provide the students with the required skills and knowledge. Greasley (2017) investigated the
effectiveness of a teaching simulation and detected a positive relationship between the variables
and the model.
7. METHODOLOGY
Research Design
A research design is a set of procedures and methods used in data collection and analysis (Saha et
al.2015).Greasley(2017) have argued that research design is important because it allows data
collection at one point to represent many areas. Our study adopted a qualitative data collection
approach using an online questionnaire. The questionnaire included both open and multiple
choices questions.
Study Area
This study was conducted to investigate the current status of using simulation in teaching in
health sciences and engineering in Saudi Universities. The participating universities were Al-
Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University, ImamAbdulrahman Bin Faisal University, King
Abdul-Aziz University, and King Saudi University (KSU). Various respondents were given
online questionnaires related to the current use of simulation in both health sciences and
engineering departments. This study aimed todetermine the ability of simulation to achieve
appropriate levels of realism, to improve students’ skills, awareness, and knowledge, and to
enhance critical and evaluative thinking.
Sampling Procedures
Both random and stratified samplings were used. A stratified technique was used to approach the
heads of departments, while a random sampling technique was used to choose student
respondents. According to Sekhar et al. (2017), a sampling procedure is a process in which a
subgroup is chosen from a population.After selecting respondents; online questionnaires were
posted to them, which they were required to answer within a specific period.
Target Population
The target population (Evanno et al. 2005) of this study included the staff, managers, and students
at the health sciences and engineering departments of Saudi universities. In total, 80 respondents
(20 each from four universities) took part in the study.
Data Collection Instrument
The study questionnaires were distributed to the respondents through random and stratified
sampling and were expected to be answered at the same time. Before sending the questionnaires

9. DISCUSSION
Most of our respondents agreed that simulations have been helpful during their studies. This
implied most of the universities in the country were using and are still using simulation as their
mean of enhancing better understanding for their students. Second, most respondents agreed that
the simulations that they had used provided an adequate level of realism. This finding suggests
that the technologies used for simulations have become sufficiently advanced. Our respondents
also agreed that simulation could improve skills, raise awareness, and provide information in
health sciences and engineering. Lastly, our respondents agreed that simulation was effective at
improving critical and evaluative thinking.
10. CONCLUSION
Based on our data, simulation appears to be widely used (all universities included in our study) in
the teaching of health science and engineering in Saudi Arabia. Also, our findings suggest that
this technology is being appropriately applied and is improving teaching standards. Based on
these findings, we predict that simulation technologies will help to meet the increasing demand
for competent doctors and engineers in Saudi Arabia.
11. RECOMMENDATIONS
From the above study, the following recommendations can be made;
Health sciences and engineering faculties in Saudi Universities need to incorporate discoveries in
their studies to enhance multidisciplinary as well as multiscale simulations.
Supporting technologies in both fields need to be enhanced to improve the understanding of
students during simulation, thus increasing their skills and competency
Education institutions currently not using simulation during teaching should introduce these.
