Academic simulations, learning assessment, academic performance, multi-criteria analysis, accreditation examsAbstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of academic simulations on student performance in accreditation exams, using a multicriteria decision model to identify the most effective simulations. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive-comparative design was adopted, categorizing different types of simulations. The evaluation criteria were selected using the Delphi technique with the participation of experts in education and psychology. The data were collected through surveys applied to 200 students. The TOPSIS method was applied to weight and classify the simulations. The results indicated that digital interactive simulations were the most effective, with a 15% increase in academic performance and a 24% reduction in anxiety. They also obtained the highest rates of satisfaction and conceptual understanding. The results obtained indicated that digital interactive simulations offer better preparation for accreditation exams, due to their high level of interactivity and personalization of learning. Their implementation in training programs is recommended, as well as the exploration of new technologies that optimize their effectiveness.
