Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Satisfaction and confidence measured using Student Satisfaction and Self Confidence in Learning (SSSCL) at baseline, pretest (week 4), intervention (weeks 6-10), post-test (week 12). 2. Self-confidence measured using Simulation Design Scale (SDS) at baseline, pretest (week 4), intervention (weeks 6-10), post-test (week 12). 3. Education practice measured using Educational Practice Questionnaire (EPQ) at baseline, pretest (week 4), intervention (weeks 6-10), post-test (week 12). 4. Critical thinking disposition measured using California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CCTDI) at baseline, pretest (week 4), intervention (weeks 6-10), post-test (week 12). 5. Critical thinking skills measured using California Critical Thinking Skill Test (CCTST) at baseline, pretest (week 4), intervention (weeks 6-10), post-test (week 12).	—
