Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the extent to which teaching faculty at the Preparatory Year knows and Practices Computer-Based Simulation applications at Imam Abdurrahman Al-Faisal University. The sample of the study involved 123 instructors who completed the questionnaire including two domains: (1) instructors' background knowledge on computer-based simulation and (2) the degree of using computer-based simulation. The results of the study showed that teaching faculty practice computer-based simulation more than they are versed with the background knowledge of the computer-based simulation. The results also showed that knowledge and practice did not differ by sex and specialty.

Key words: computer, faculty members, teaching.
