Summary
Psychomotor learning is defined as learning new actions or reapplying the existing ones by modifying them. The principal learning objective in nursing education, as is the case for other occupational groups in the healthcare field, is to develop psychomotor skills [1,2,3]. A simulator user needs to “feel” the object that acts as the source of a particular skill acquisition. Experiences such as using different senses and different realistic situations promote individuals’ curiosity, motivation and willingness to learn, which is required for meaningful learning [1]. Models in professional skill laboratories range from low to high-fidelity. The models in the laboratory where the present study was conducted were of low-fidelity, which is the case in other professional skills laboratories in Turkey
