Abstrakt: The authors explore the degree to which individual learning styles affect pre-simulation attitudes toward teamwork and post-simulation perceptions of the value of the simulation as a learning experience among third-semester university-level participants in a large-scale telematic simulation-game in Bremen (Germany). The learning style trait pairs `academic type΄ and `interpersonal type΄ are introduced as explanatory variables, first as categorical variables, then as continuous variables in multiple regression analyse. The results show that the pre-simulation attitude toward teamwork and interpersonal type explain variation in perceptions of the simulation experience. Qualitative data from debriefing teleconferences generally reflect the quantitative analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
