Guiding Principles

Learning Objectives

  1. Discuss simulation pedagogy related to simulation-based education.
  2. Define and apply experiential learning theory in the context of simulation-based education.
  3. Define key principles of Jeffries Simulation Theory.
  4. Define International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice.

 

Summary of Key Points

  • Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) was developed by David Kolb and is one of the most widely used theories in simulation-based learning.
  • The experiential learning cycle consists of concrete learning, reflective learning, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation.
  • In ELT, the six central tenets include learning as a process, relearning, balancing modes, holistic adaptation, reciprocal influence, and knowledge creation.
  • National Nursing League (NLN) Jeffries Simulation Theory guides simulation experiences with key elements: Context, Background, Design, Feedback, Sequencing, Fidelity, Debriefing, Simulation Experience, Facilitator and Educational Strategies, Participants, and Outcomes.
  • NLN Jeffries Simulation Theory emphasizes intentional feedback, clear sequencing, appropriate fidelity levels, and the crucial role of debriefing.
  • INACSL Best Practice Standards: Guides simulation integration, use, and advancement in academia, clinical practice, and research. Standards cover professional development, pre-briefing, simulation design, facilitation, debriefing, operations, outcomes, professional integrity, interprofessional education, evaluation, and a simulation glossary.
  • INACSL Best practice standards threaded throughout the simulation faculty implementation guide.
