Three phases of simulation education events

Simulation based education events (SEE) can guide participants towards building confidence in practice. A SEE consist of three phases to help improve knowledge, skills and behaviours of an identified issue in a replicated working environment.

To enhance learning, consider the following three phases.

Interact with the boxes below

Phase 1:

Provide underpinning knowledge

Fundamental theory that is tailored against the desired goal of the learning experience. Used to introduce or revise knowledge, skills, and behaviours such as algorithms or procedures.

Phase 2:

Simulation event

The simulation event should be designed to  provide opportunities where learners can try, share and reflect on the required skills, knowledge, and behaviours.

Phase 3:

Feedback (facilitating the learning)

Adult learners need regular feedback on their knowledge, skills, behaviour and performance, and it is an essential part of the learning process to build confidence in practice. This feedback can be in the form of formative and summative assessments, facilitated debriefs, shared learning experiences and reflective analyses.

Simulations based educational events can guide participants towards building confidence in practice. Teaching methods used in simulation vary greatly depending on the desired outcomes, the skills and knowledge of participants, and the resources available.
