Strategies and Methodologies Flashcards
Refers to the imitation of real-world activities and processes in a safe environment.
Simulation
aim to provide an experience as close to the ‘real thing’ as possible; however, a simulated activity has the advantage of allowing learners to ‘reset’ the scenario and try alternative strategies and approaches.
Simulation
This allows learners to develop experience of specific situations by applying their wider learning and knowledge.
Simulation
The approach is frequently used in disciplines where students need to develop skills and experience but safety issues or cost considerations prevent this happening in the real-world.
Simulation
Types of Simulation:
Written Simulation
Clinical Simulation
Model Simulation
Computer Simulation
Use in case studies about real or fictitious situations, with the learner being asked to respond to these scenarios.
Written Simulation
This can be set up to replicate complex care situations, such as mock cardiac arrest. It allows the novice to practice skills in nonthreatening situation with immediate feedback.
Clinical Simulation
*Frequently used to teach variety of audiences .
*An effective and economical method to teach certain non-invasive skills is to ask a peer, educator or trained individual to act as patients.
*Standardized patients-people trained to act as patients-were found to be more effective of simulation to teach fundamentals to nursing students that were lectures than where lectures and laboratory practice with method.
Model Simulation
Are used in learning laboratories to mimic situations whereby information and feedback are given to learners in helping them develop decision-making skills.
Computer Simulation
*An in-depth study of one person, group, or event.
Case Study
It offers learners an opportunity to become thoroughly acquainted with a patient situation before discussing patient and family needs and identifying health-related problems.
Case Study
It leads to the development of analytical and problem solving skills, exploration of complex issues and application of new knowledge and skills in the clinical practice area.
Case Study
*The methodology of choice of transmitting foundational knowledge.
*Distinguished by the educator’s role, in which the educator is the center of authority in the class, with group tasks usually more closed ended and often having specific answers.
Cooperative Learning
*It is highly structured group work focusing problem solving that leads to deed learning and critical thinking.
Cooperative Learning
*A teaching method in which complex real-world problems are used as the vehicle to promote student learning of concepts and principles as opposed to direct presentation of facts and concepts.
*It can promote the development of critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and communication skills.
Problem-Based Learning (PBL)
