Purpose: This study was conducted to develop a course design using virtual reality (VR) based on The Goal-Oriented Learning Design Method (GOLD), and to validate its effectiveness through student evaluations. Method: Ninety first-year nursing university students underwent a 5-session course on observation techniques in July 2023. Through scenarios of patient observation (clinical judgment skills) by nurses, students experienced nurses' thought processes. Students visited a hospital room as avatars in VR, conducted patient observations through quizzes based on the GOLD, with an option to view hints when unsure about methods or judgments. They were able to experience scenarios with stable and deteriorating patients. Statistical analyses were performed using the Simulation Design Scale Japanese version (SDS) and Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Japanese version (SLCS) surveys conducted after the VR sessions. Results: Analysis was conducted of 71 individuals after excluding missing data. Significant positive correlation was found between satisfaction and all SDS items, and between confidence and all SDS items, with the highest correlations observed between satisfaction and "Understanding of Objectives/Information Presentation".
