Practice makes perfect…this saying is a popular cliché, but it has validity when referencing the abundance of practice necessary to learn and master a new technique or skill. Like playing a game, honing a skill, or using a new technique, teaching requires practice to learn and improve. Working with preservice STEM teachers (PSTs), my goal was to…

The aim of this chapter is to provide the reader with a broad overview of clinical simulation using case examples to highlight the evolving multidomain teaching pedagogy in healthcare professional programs.

The use of simulation holds promise for the future of dietetics education in its ability to replace up to 30% of the 1,000 required supervised practice hours for the training of future Registered Dietitian Nutritionists. Even more so, simulation is a teaching tool. When done well, such alternate learning experiences can challenge students in a…

Objective: Few studies have investigated the maintenance of skills acquired in classroom-based clinician education. Using an advanced simulation-based clinical communication skill training program for postgraduate psychiatry education (ComPsych), we aimed to investigate skill acquisition through assessing changes in competence (abilities) and…

In the discipline of nursing education, it is very important that nursing students complete their didactic and clinical education skills in order to practice as a registered nurse. It is also very important that they prepare and study to successfully pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) and become licensed as a registered nurse…

The problem addressed in this study was the lack of critical thinking (CT) and clinical judgment (CJ) skills of senior level associate degree nursing students entering nursing orientation programs. The purpose of this randomized Solomon four-group pretest-posttest comparative study was to compare CJ and CT of senior level ADN students entering…

Group composition presents a compelling, significant, and timely topic for educators, given the widespread use of group assignments in today's pedagogical models. This paper adopts a Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) as a systematic approach to investigate the conditions for high learning performance in marketing simulations. We…

We present an intriguing topic in a mathematical modelling course where Lanchester models are taught to our students. Lanchester models are some of the earliest and most important models used for combat modelling. We describe modelling activities and the use of technology that can be implemented in teaching this topic in this paper.

Clinical practice has benefited from new methodologies such as realistic simulation (RS). RS involves recreating lifelike scenarios to more accurately reflect real clinical practice, enhancing learners' skills and decision-making within controlled environments, and experiencing remarkable growth in medical education. However, RS requires…

This paper develops a spreadsheet simulation methodology for teaching simulation and performance analysis of priority queues with multiple servers, without resorting to macros, add-ins, or array formula. The approach is made possible by a "single overtaking" simplifying assumption under which any lower-priority customer may be passed in…

As a person obsessed, perhaps overly so, with preventing water damage, an ailing dishwasher led to a system whereby who did the dishes in our household became a matter of chance. What happened next, however, was besmirchment of my character from hockey teammates, close friends, and especially from a room full of future elementary school…

This research investigated how dramatization simulation affected nursing students' ethical attitudes. Most nurses and nursing students encounter ethical issues in their healthcare practices. Students who receive an education in ethics are better equipped to solve ethical problems, develop ethical sensitivity, and adopt an ethical attitude.…

Background: Concerns have been raised about the inconsistency and quality of pre-service teacher preparation, especially in reading literacy. Mixed-reality simulations can potentially revolutionise initial teacher education by offering realistic, risk-free practice opportunities to master reading practices. Objectives: This study explores…

This paper outlines the design of an interactive simulation of Stokes' law, which is used frequently in the study of particle sedimentation and flotation. The software application includes dynamic visualizations and statistical outputs. Descriptions of how the simulation can be used in a teaching context are provided. The application and its…

The rapid evolution of digital marketing, characterized by the surge in digital channels and data, has amplified the demand for graduates specialized in digital marketing analytics (DMA). Yet, marketing educators contend with insufficient theoretical guidance and practical pedagogical methods in the course design that aligns with industry…
