Abstract
The factors influencing the effect of virtual simulation experimental teaching on students' knowledge transfer are multidimensional, and the effect of virtual simulation experimental teaching on students' knowledge transfer varies depending on different factors. In order to study the influencing factors of virtual simulation experiment teaching on students' knowledge transfer effect, this article establishes a research model based on knowledge transfer and immersive learning theory. 52 learners who participated in virtual simulation experimental teaching were used as the research objects to analyze the factors influencing the effect of virtual simulation experimental teaching on students' knowledge transfer through structural equation modeling. Results indicated that immersion as a technical characteristic of virtual simulation positively influences students' presence and intrinsic motivation, and presence positively affects knowledge transfer; virtual simulation experimental learning supports positively influence students' knowledge structure and self-regulation, and self-regulation positively affects knowledge transfer effects. However, this article also found unexpected results that intrinsic motivation and knowledge structure did not have a positive effect on knowledge transfer. The findings can provide useful references for future educators to design virtual simulation experimental teaching, thus promoting the effect of knowledge transfer.
