Download or read book Learning from Experience written by Hui Zhang and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2021-01-22 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Simulation enhances experiential learning through creating experience to form the basis of learning, and it has been recognized as an effective pedagogy in current health professions education. As an integral element of simulation, debriefing contributes to transforming the created experience to new knowledge. Video-assisted debriefing (VAD) refers to adding audio-visual capture and review to traditional verbal debriefing (VD). Despite being regarded as ‘gold standard’ for simulation, evidence reporting educational effects of VAD is mixed and its best practice remains absent. Aims: The aims of this thesis were to develop a framework for VAD, to test and compare its effects on prelicensure nursing students’ debriefing experiences, reflective abilities and nursing competencies with VD without video, as well as to explore its potential impact on facilitators’ perceptions and practices following high-fidelity simulation. Design and methods: This thesis comprised of four studies with different research designs. Study I was a systematic review which synthesized the characteristics of existing VAD practices in health professions education and evaluated its effectiveness on learners’ reactions, learning and behaviors. Study II was a proof-of-concept study which developed of a three-phase framework for VAD and tested its preliminary effects on nursing students’ debriefing experiences, reflective abilities, and nursing competencies using a pretest-posttest design. Study III adopted a qualitative method to explore nursing students’ experiences and perspectives of a structured VAD using focus groups. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis approach. Study IV employed a mixed-method research design to investigate the impact of a three-phase VAD on nursing students’ debriefing experiences, perceived stress, as well as facilitators’ perceptions and debriefing practices. Results: Study I showed that existing VAD offered comparable educational effects as VD in terms of learners’ experiences, attitudes, and performance, except on knowledge acquisition. Video did not demonstrate its continuous advantage in debriefing, which informed the absence of best practice. The preliminary results of Study II reported that a three-phase VAD significantly improved students’ debriefing experiences (p<0.001), reflective abilities (p<0.01), and nursing competencies (p<0.001). Study III disclosed an emotional roller coaster experienced by nursing students in VAD, from unwillingness and fear of being judged, followed by stress and defensiveness, to sense of appreciation and satisfaction. Most students agreed that VAD provided a good learning experience with few preferred not to receive peer feedback after video review. Study IV demonstrated that VAD improved nursing students’ debriefing experiences (p=0.01) and caused comparable stress as VD. Repeated exposure to VAD significantly reduced stress levels. VAD also enhanced facilitators’ perceptions and debriefing practices. Conclusions: This project developed a three-phase framework for VAD, and affirmed its educational effects on improving nursing students’ debriefing experiences, reflective abilities, and competencies following high fidelity simulation, with comparable stress experienced as in VD. The finding of an emotional roller coaster experienced by nursing students in VAD challenged the snapshot of negative emotions reported in other studies, offering some clarity to the inconsistent evidence regarding learners’ experiences of VAD and contributing to its best practice. This thesis also proved that this three-phase VAD held the potential to enhance facilitators’ debriefing practices towards student-centered learning. Bakgrund: Att simulera olika vårdsituationer är idag en väl använd pedagogisk metod inom hälsoutbildningarna eftersom erfarenheten av att träna simulering kan förbättra inlärningen. Debriefing ingår som en integrerad del i simuleringen och bidrar till att omvandla erfarenheten till kunskap. Video-assisterad debriefing innebär att simuleringssituationen filmas och filmen används sedan i debriefingen. Trots att det är vanligt att använda video-assisterad debriefing är bevisen för att det är bättre än debriefing utan video oklara. Syfte: Syftet med denna avhandling var att utveckla en strukturerad video-assisterad debriefing att använda i samband med simulering på sjuksköterskeutbildningen. Att sedan testa den på sjuksköterskestudenter för att se om den påverkade deras debriefing erfarenhet, reflektionsförmåga och omvårdnadskompetens jämfört med sjuksköterskestudenter som erhöll debriefing utan video. Syftet var också att utforska handledarnas uppfattning och genomförande av video-assisterad debriefing i samband med simulering. Design och Metod: Avhandlingen består av fyra studier med olika design. Studie 1 var en systematisk litteraturstudie där 23 artiklar innehållande tidigare erfarenheter av videoassisterad debriefing från hälsoutbildningar granskades och syntetiserades. I studie 2 utvecklades en strukturerad video-assisterad debriefing i tre faser som sedan testades på sjuksköterskestudenternas (n=63) debriefing erfarenhet, reflektionsförmåga och omvårdnadskompetens genom en före-efter design. I studie 3 användes en kvalitativ design för att med hjälp av fokusgrupper utforska sjuksköterskestudenternas (n=27) erfarenheter av att använda video-assisterad debriefing. Studie 4 var en mixed-methods studie som undersökte betydelsen av en strukturerad video-assisterad debriefing jämfört med debriefing utan video på sjuksköterskestudenternas (n=145) debriefing erfarenhet och uppfattning av stress i samband med debriefingen. I studie 4 undersöktes även handledarnas (n=8) uppfattningar och genomförande av video-assisterad debriefing. Resultat: Studie 1 visade att video-assisterad debriefing var jämförbart med debriefing utan video vad det gäller erfarenheter, attityder och genomförande men var inte bättre vad det gäller förvärvande av ny kunskap. Resultaten från studie 2 visade att den strukturerade videoassisterade debriefingen signifikant förbättrade sjuksköterskestudenternas debriefing erfarenhet (p<0,001), reflektionsförmåga (p<0,01) och omvårdnadskompetens (p<0,001). Studie 3 visade att strukturerad video-assisterad debriefing var som en emotionell bergodalbana

Download or read book Leaving College written by Vincent Tinto and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-04-27 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this 1994 classic work on student retention, Vincent Tinto synthesizes far-ranging research on student attrition and on actions institutions can and should take to reduce it. The key to effective retention, Tinto demonstrates, is in a strong commitment to quality education and the building of a strong sense of inclusive educational and social community on campus. He applies his theory of student departure to the experiences of minority, adult, and graduate students, and to the situation facing commuting institutions and two-year colleges. Especially critical to Tinto’s model is the central importance of the classroom experience and the role of multiple college communities.

Download or read book Making the Most of College written by Richard J. Light and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2004-05-30 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do some students make the most of college, while others struggle and look back on years of missed deadlines and missed opportunities? What choices can students make, and what can teachers and university leaders do, to improve more students’ experiences and help them achieve the most from their time and money? Most important, how is the increasing diversity on campus—cultural, racial, and religious—affecting education? What can students and faculty do to benefit from differences, and even learn from the inevitable moments of misunderstanding and awkwardness? From his ten years of interviews with Harvard seniors, Richard Light distills encouraging—and surprisingly practical—answers to fundamental questions. How can you choose classes wisely? What’s the best way to study? Why do some professors inspire and others leave you cold? How can you connect what you discover in class to all you’re learning in the rest of life? Light suggests, for instance: studying in pairs or groups can be more productive than studying alone; the first and most important skill to learn is time management; supervised independent research projects and working internships offer the most learning and the greatest challenges; and encounters with students of different religions can be simultaneously the most taxing and most illuminating of all the experiences with a diverse student body. Filled with practical advice, illuminated with stories of real students’ self-doubts, failures, discoveries, and hopes, Making the Most of College is a handbook for academic and personal success.

Special thanks are offered to my students, whose constant stimulation and provocation were incentives to write this book. Moreover, in the belief that they would never show the initiative to put together a festschrift for me (Le., a book dedicated to someone for his contributions), I decided to do it myself. Several people cared enough to offer editorial criticisms, namely, Myles Genest, Barney Gilmore, Roy Cameron, Sherryl Goodman, and Dennis Turk. The reader benefits from their perspicacity. Finally, to my parents, who taught me to talk to myself, and to my family, without whose constant input this book would have been completed much sooner, but would have been much less fun, I dedicate this book.
