Abstract

Before simulation courseware is designed, it is imperative to analyse the learning theories that are embedded in it. This is because the aim of the courseware, amongst others, is to facilitate and improve the conditions of students’ learning and knowledge retention. This paper attempts to critically discuss three learning theories that are crucial in designing simulation courseware to be used in a military setting.
