If possible, it's encouraged that you take full use of the Multi-Functional Nursing Simulator

 

Since high-fidelity simulators in nursing education offer a suitable teaching environment for students' skill development while simultaneously setting ethical circumstances for greater patient safety, this educational practice is predicted to rise in the future.

Even though the addition of these new technologies to nursing education opens up new teaching and learning opportunities, it is important to examine the theoretical foundations of an educational model and to identify the additional responsibilities that faculty and students assume in these new teaching-learning situations.

•       To design a pedagogical model, consider John Dewey's idea of experiential learning and sociocultural constructivism's idea of the zone of maximum growth.

Teaching-learning scenarios must be planned and implemented in a way that emphasizes student engagement, all within the framework of a learning concept that lays a focus on student involvement. Though studies suggest that high-fidelity simulators often increase students' proficiency and safety, educational experiences with them have revealed that they may be viewed as less realistic and so less appealing. The Multi-Functional Nursing Simulator performs well in this context.

•       When using simulators instead of only practicing physical procedures, they should be used for the development of other skills, including critical thinking and the ability to communicate with patients. This regard for the patient's unique and complicated nature should be fostered.

•       The use of high-fidelity simulators in nursing education is a fast evolving teaching strategy that benefits student skill development and raises ethical standards for patient safety.

Development

Pedagogical paradigms need to be revisited and students and instructors need to be made aware of the new responsibilities they will have in these new teaching-learning scenarios as a consequence of the incorporation of these technologies. Experiential learning and John Dewey's concept of the proximal development zone are crucial considerations for incorporating new educational strategies.
