  This paper discusses how much the more realistic user interaction in a life-sized fully immersive VR Training is a benefit for acquiring declarative knowledge compared to the same training via a screen-based first-person application. Two groups performed a nursing training scenario in immersive VR and on a tablet. A third group learned the necessary steps using a classic text-picture-manual (TP group). Afterwards all three groups had to perform a recall test with repeated measurement (one week). The results showed no significant differences between VR training and tablet training. In the first test shortly after completion of the training both training simulation conditions were worse than the TP group. In the long-term test, however, the knowledge loss of the TP group was significantly higher than that of the two simulation groups. Ultimately, VR training in this study design proved to be as efficient as training on a tablet for declarative knowledge acquisition. Nevertheless, it is possible that acquired procedural knowledge distinguishes VR training from the screen-based application.

  In der Ausbildung in der Pflege gibt es großen Bedarf an praktischem Training. SkillsLabs, physikalische Nachbauten von realen Arbeitsräumen an den Lehrstätten, bieten die einzigartige Möglichkeit, praktisches Wissen in direkter Nähe und in direkter Einbindung mit den Lehrenden zu erarbeiten und mit der theoretischen Ausbildung zu verzahnen. Häufig stehen jedoch die notwendigen Ressourcen (Räume, Arbeitsmittel) nicht in ausreichendem Maße zur Verfügung. Virtuelle SkillsLabs können hier den Bedarf zum Teil abdecken und eine Brücke zwischen Theorie und Praxis bilden. Im Beitrag wird eine solche Umsetzung mit verschiedenen Ausbaustufen vorgestellt.
