Impact of modern simulators on the development of teamwork skills: coordinated action and communication

The article presents a review of a number of modern foreign studies of simulators and their role in the development of teamwork skills. The analysis of some trending learning theories and methodologies, which are used by both national and foreign researchers in the implementation of training programs on simulators of professional activity is carried out. The results of studies demonstrating the influence of computer simulators on the development of teamwork skills, including aspects of coordinated actions and effective communication are presented. Various methods and means used by foreign researchers to improve the effectiveness of simulation-based training are described. The importance of using simulation-based training in various professional fields, such as medicine, aviation, space programs and information technology, to ensure a high level of training of specialists is substantiated. It is shown that modern simulation-based simulators offer training methods that are maximally close to real professional activity, which contributes to the formation of highly qualified specialists in professional fields that require high development of teamwork skills.
