本研究采用Simodont牙科训练器(Moog，Nieuw-Vennep，荷兰)在虚拟学习环境(VLE)中调查了力反馈(FFB)对学生学习成绩的影响，并评价了学生对FFB的满意度。本研究为交叉研究。一半的学生在没有FFB的情况下练习，而有一半的学生使用FFB进行练习。两组都进行了四次为期45分钟的交叉准备练习。在第五次会议上，安排了测试1。在测试1之后，尽管环境改变了，但仍遵循相同的练习和测试方案。在测试2之后，参与者填写了一份调查问卷。结果：测试1和测试2的结果显示，只有使用FFB的学生才能通过测试。问卷结果支持两项测试的结果；100%的学生更喜欢与FFB合作。结论：FFB对VLE的成绩很重要，对满意度也是必不可少的。
Introduction: This study investigated the effect of force feedback (FFB) on student performance in a virtual learning environment (VLE) using the Simodont dental trainer (Moog, Nieuw-Vennep, the Netherlands) and evaluated the students' satisfaction with and without FFB.Methods: The Simodont dental trainer, which was used as a VLE, was randomly assigned to 101 first-year dental students with no previous experience in cutting a tooth or working in a VLE with FFB. This study was designed as a crossover study. One half of the students practiced without FFB, whereas one half practiced with FFB. Both groups practiced four sessions lasting 45 minutes on a cross preparation. In the fifth session, test 1 was scheduled. After test 1, the same practicing and testing protocol was followed, although the environment was switched. After test 2, participants filled out a questionnaire. For the statistical analysis, only the questionnaires of the students who participated in both tests were processed.Results: The results of test 1 and test 2 revealed that only students who used FFB were able to pass the tests. The questionnaire outcomes supported the results of both tests; 100% of the students preferred working with FFB.Conclusions: The results suggest that FFB is important for performance in a VLE and essential for satisfaction.
