Definition
What simulation-based assessment means.
Simulation-based assessment evaluates what a learner can do inside a realistic or model-based scenario. The assessment captures decisions, explanations, timing, strategy, and consequences, so the evidence comes from performance rather than a final written answer alone.
Example
What it looks like in practice.
In a science simulation, a learner predicts an outcome, changes variables, observes consequences, and explains the result.
How QLM implements it
Where it appears in QLM.
QLM STEM simulations and conversion workflows turn scenario decisions into evidence for teachers, profiles, and institutional review.
FAQ
Questions this page answers.
Is a simulation automatically an assessment?
No. It becomes assessment when actions and explanations are intentionally captured and interpreted as evidence.
Why is this useful for schools?
It shows reasoning, misconception, and transfer in ways a worksheet or final answer often cannot.
