一些新出现的挑战，包括全球化、经济压力和不断变化的工作性质，共同创造了一个需要创新、灵活的培训解决方案的商业环境。模拟是一种很有前途的工具，可以创建更逼真的体验式学习环境来应对这些挑战。不幸的是，目前的文献模拟为基础的培训描绘了一个混合的图片模拟作为培训工具的有效性，与以前的研究大多集中在模拟设计中使用的具体技术和基于理论的研究很少集中在这些技术的教学能力或学习过程。本文探讨了基于模拟的培训的承诺和危险，审查研究，研究了模拟作为培训工具的有效性，确定迫切的研究需求，并提出了一个议程，为未来的理论驱动的研究，旨在解决这些需求。
A number of emerging challenges including globalization, economic pressures and the changing nature of work has combined to create a business environment that demands innovative, flexible training solutions. Simulations are a promising tool for creating more realistic, experiential learning environments to meet these challenges. Unfortunately, the current literature on simulation-based training paints a mixed picture as to the effectiveness of simulations as training tools, with most of the previous research focusing on the specific technologies used in simulation design and little theory-based research focusing on the instructional capabilities or learning processes underlying these technologies. This article examines the promise and perils of simulation-based training, reviews research that has examined the effectiveness of simulations as training tools, identifies pressing research needs, and presents an agenda for future theory-driven research aimed at addressing those needs.
