“…One could argue that this ‘over‐learning’ and ‘over‐motivation’ effect observed during the exploration, which led learners to display more pedagogical contents than requested, could be linked to the game design of the SG itself. Nonetheless, these results prove the effectiveness of this training tool, as also verified by our previous research on its effects on skills development (Denami, ). These results aim, at least, to highlight the need of an instructional designer who is able to take into consideration the aims of the learning, in order to employ more efficient and adapted learning strategies (e.g.…”

This study focuses on the analysis of peripheral phenomena such as verbalization and over-learning by users while playing serious games (SGs) in order to develop their competences. For this purpose, we used an SG aimed at training the operators who are meant to work in cleanrooms devoted to pharmaceutical production. Data concerning the effectiveness of developing competences will be interpreted here, as well as the unexpected results concerning the way the SG is actually used in a naturalistic context. Indeed, some additional phenomena such as flow, immersion, thinking aloud, problem solving and open discussion will be presented in this paper.

“…This study follows the one conducted in July 2015 on the topic of the effectiveness of the SG LabQuest (Denami, ). This one has proven that, compared to the ones trained with traditional training, people who were trained with the SG performed better at post‐test.…”

“…Then a cleanroom simulator called LabQuest was developed to show that professionals trained using this system performed better than those trained using the traditional methods of video, quizzes, and PowerPoint presentations. 32 This study is particularly interesting because it compared two homogeneous populations undergoing two different types of training.…”

Use of simulation for education in hospital pharmaceutical technologies: a systematic review

et al. 2021

Objectives Because of the inherent risks facing pharmacy technicians, and consequently also patients, initial and continuing education on hospital pharmaceutical technologies is essential. Simulation is a pedagogical tool now widely used in healthcare education. This study’s objectives are to provide an overview of simulation’s current place in the field of hospital pharmaceutical technology education, to classify these uses, and to discuss how simulation technologies could be better used in the future. Data sources Two pharmacists independently searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science on 21 July 2020 and included studies in English or French that used simulation as an educational tool in the field of hospital pharmaceutical technologies, whether in academic teaching or professional practice. Data summary Our search criteria resulted in 6248 articles, of which 24 were assessed for eligibility and 13 included in the qualitative synthesis. Simulation in hospital pharmaceutical technology education is used in three different ways: first, as a playful pedagogical tool, with error-based simulations (cleanrooms and preparation sheets with errors), or game-based simulations (escape games, role-plays, and board games); second, as an electronic tool with virtual reality (virtual cleanrooms and serious games), or augmented reality (3D glasses); finally, to evaluate chemical contamination (fluorescein and quinine tests) and microbiological contamination (media-fill tests) during compounding to periodically requalify pharmacy technicians. Conclusion Further studies, including non-technical skills evaluations, are needed to confirm the usefulness of this innovative technique in training as efficiently as possible actual and future pharmacy professionals.

“…LabQuest Pharma® is a serious game (SG) that aims to teach professional skills to workers wishing to acquire specific know-how in the field of pharmaceutical production (Denami, 2016a;2016b). This SG reproduces a standard production unit in a plant and simulates the behaviour of the operator, who is in charge of monitoring the automated production of any pharmaceutical product that needs an environment conditioned by air filtration in order to prevent the intrusion of particles.…”

“…In order to verify or disprove the better efficiency of using LabQuest Pharma® for training professional skills, a one-factor (learning professional gestures with the SG versus classical training) pre-post-test protocol with a sample of 45 people who have never worked in an aseptic zone has been designed. The results showed that 87.6% of the subjects who completed the LabQuest Pharma® protocol correctly succeeded in accomplishing gestures and procedures in the post-test phase, while 57.5% of the subjects trained with the traditional method succeeded in doing so (see Denami, 2016a, for more details).…”

The conditions of school learning change globally. Teachers are faced with the challenge of either using digital media extensively in teacher training and school or allowing its usage. In order to develop an understanding of the meaning of such considerable change, authors first discuss the need for instructional design methods based on the way the users learn. While introducing the concept of instrumental conflict, a theoretical approach is applied, which helps to clarify the core structure of such processes. Finally, the successful example of adoption in the context of pharmaceutical education will be presented.
