* * * * * SIMULATION: A TEACHING STRATEGY Mayumi Anthony Cheryl Muffley OVERVIEW OF SIMULATION Definition: A method of instruction whereby an artificial or hypothetical experience that engages the learner in an activity reflecting real-life conditions but without the risk-taking consequences of an actual situation is created (Bastable, 2008, p. 635). Description: Participants make decisions in a safe environment, witness the consequences, and evaluate the effectiveness of their actions. APPLICATION OF EDUCATIONAL THEORIES Social Learning Theory Self-efficacy or social change occurs through modeling and reinforcement learning. Educator designs a simulation to teach a skill, pattern, or role play, and then designs additional simulations where the target behavior is reinforced. Simulation provides planned stimuli organized in a way so as to give the participant opportunity to respond. Experiential Learning Theory Educator designs simulation to match a student’s needs and preferences for learning. Students are assigned to participate in a simulation activity that matches their learning style. APPLICATION OF SIMULATION TO TEACHING SITUATIONS Assessment Skills Assessment of and early intervention for patients with acutely deteriorating conditions Improved proficiency in advanced life support following simulation training compared to clinical experience alone (Wayne et al., 2005) Hospital resuscitation teams trained in advanced life support using simulation can improve patient outcomes following cardiac arrest (Moretti et al., 2007) Pharmacological concepts Drug recognition unit allows simulator to respond physiologically (Rauen, 2004) Ex. Simulated morphine injection causes pupil size of mannequin to change and the respiratory rate, heart rate, and blood pressure to decrease Instructor can pause simulation to review assessments, detect problems, or discuss treatment APPLICATION OF SIMULATION TO TEACHING SITUATIONS (CONT.)
