A problem shared is learning doubled: Deliberative processing in dyads improves learning in complex dynamic decision-making tasks
We address the issue of underutilisation of learning opportunities in simulations. 71 professionals took part in an experiment using a management simulation. Peer interactions were structured to encourage hypothesis-testing strategies. Simple manipulation of how learners interact with the simulation affected learning. Evidence for proximal, distal and deliberation learning effects is presented.
