The aim of this study was to analyze the perceptions and opinions of undergraduate and graduate nursing students about the self-learning methodology in simulated environments. A mixed, cross-sectional, descriptive study based on a survey tool made ad hoc (quantitative approach) and an open questionnaire (qualitative approach) was carried out. A sample of 149 undergraduate and 25 postgraduate nursing students were tested. The score was high for all the variables of the questionnaire analyzed: for perception of simulation performance, M = 73.5 (SD = 14.5), for motivation, M = 23.9 (SD = 5.9), for the opinion about facilitators, M = 25.9 (SD = 4.5), and for the promotion of team work, M = 16.9 (SD = 3.4). Five dimensions were identified and evaluated in the qualitative research. The students were pleased with MAES© and had a positive perception, since they considered that MAES© increased their learning.}, publisher = {MDPI}, publisher = {International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2019, 16(23), 4646}, title = {Perceptions about the self-learning methodology in simulated environments in nursing students: a mixed study}, author = {Díaz Agea, José Luis and Ramos-Morcillo, Antonio Jesús and Amo Setién, Francisco José and Ruzafa-Martínez, María and Hueso-Montoro, César and Leal-Costa, César}, }
