“…Similarly, the participants suggested that the simulation would be expanded and enriched by enabling teacher candidates from different disciplines and different years to use it. This idea was supported by Dalinger, Thomas, Stansberry, and Xiu (2020), who stated that most of the teacher candidates participating in their study did not always have the chance to experience teaching in real life and therefore perceived simulations as a source of authentic application. Technically, it was recommended that the interface of the simulation be made customizable, and that a user login is created for the mobile application in which the communication method with the student is improved.…”

Background. Simulation-based training is an effective, and therefore increasingly widespread, tool used in the teaching and assessment of complex skills. In order to determine the effectiveness of the virtual classroom simulators used in teacher training, there is a need for studies into user experiences, within the scope of human-computer interaction, which provide an indicator of software usability. Aim. The aim of this study was to examine the experiences of teacher candidates and academics in the use of SimInClass, a game-based virtual classroom simulator. Method. 16 senior teacher candidates and two academics, determined by the criterion sampling method, participated in the case study which involved a focus group interview, one-on-one interviews, and observation techniques. The case study centered around a 14-week teacher training program which used the SimInClass simulation. Data related to user experiences was analyzed independently by two researchers, and the fit index between the data encoders was calculated as being 0.94. Results and Conclusion. The participants who preferred to use the SimInClass simulation on a computer said they did so because of user input, usage control and screen size, while those who favored using a mobile device pointed to the easy access. All of the participants felt that the SimInClass simulation was effective in providing clear directions and giving feedback. One suggestion was that the simulation should give clues regarding the correct solution, while some users felt that it needed to be made more accessible for different disciplines. Despite some reservations and suggestions of this type, the overall impression of the test subjects was that the use of virtual classroom simulators in teacher training was effective.

Transitive society makes changes in the traditional teachers training. The relevance of this issue is becoming more and more important in the light of the tendency to reduce the motivation of students to study, to obtain basic academic school knowledge. This should lead us to look for innovative approaches in the future teachers training. The article deals with the specifics of the training of future teachers in higher education and the main aim is the practical implementation of student research projects. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the professionalism of the future practice-oriented teacher and to the development of its creative orientation through a research approach to the modelling of professional activities

“…Many business processes have revolutionized by the effects of digitalization (Makarova et al, 2020), so do in healthcare services (Kisliakovskii et al, 2017). Simulation is developed in this research due to its ability to measure the proposed improvement of a system without changing it in the real system (Antonelli et al, 2018;Dalinger et al, 2020;Pawlewski, 2018). The real healthcare system is imitated to a simulation model (Yang et al, 2019) that can show the changes of a variable instantly in specific different points (Law, 2015).…”

Public healthcare is a health service facility from the government at a low cost. The problem is the long queue, which makes long patients’ waiting times. The patients are waiting for a maximum of more than 3 hours in the general polyclinic. Besides, the registration counter is almost busy all the time. The utilization is about 96.96%. Therefore, the objective of this research is to reduce the patients’ waiting time using the simulation method. Flexsim 6.0 software is employed to develop the public healthcare system and also develop some alternatives to improve the problem. The simulation model has been verified and validated. The result shows the waiting time is decreased by more than 80% by adding the resource in the registration counter. For managerial insight, this research could help the public healthcare system in satisfying the patients.
