The learner performs a work procedure in a model, checking conditions, selecting tools and evaluating each step.

1. The engine’s intake manifold is selected
2. Nearby parts are highlighted with colors

- Check the order and prerequisites of actions, not just the final object.

## How it works

Learners carry out a work procedure in a training model with explicit checkable conditions.

## Variants

### Variants

<a id="procedure-simulation-variants"></a>

- Check equipment’s initial state <a id="procedure-simulation-1"></a>
- Choose a tool for the operation’s conditions <a id="procedure-simulation-2"></a>
- Perform a procedure in its required order <a id="procedure-simulation-3"></a>
- Confirm a checkpoint value before continuing <a id="procedure-simulation-4"></a>
- Detect an omitted required step <a id="procedure-simulation-5"></a>
- Stop the procedure when allowed conditions are exceeded <a id="procedure-simulation-6"></a>
- Reconstruct the procedure from an action log <a id="procedure-simulation-7"></a>
- Repeat a scenario with a changed initial state <a id="procedure-simulation-8"></a>

## Design example

Hypothetical operator trainer: prepare an instrument, calibrate it and record the result. The model does not replace authorization to use real equipment.

## Context and limits

A mechanic map for games with explicit learning goals, from first encounters with a topic to professional practice. It covers children, teenagers and adults; choose subject, difficulty, context and controls for the learner. Player actions, subject content, instructional support and assessment are distinct layers. Scores and game completion alone do not establish mastery or skill transfer.
