Good Practice in Teaching and Learning Methods Using the Nursing Simulation, Faculty of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences, Phetchaburi Rajabhat University

Abstract

Simulation is considered an advanced technology in health artificial intelligence, widely used in nursing education, nowadays. It greatly enhances the integration of theoretical knowledge with practical application, fostering increased confidence, decision-making abilities, and critical thinking skills among nursing students. Recognizing the importance of blended learning, the Faculty of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences at Phetchaburi Rajabhat University developed a good practice in teaching and learning methods using the nursing simulation. Simulation provides learners with opportunities to practice nursing skills in an environment closely resembling real-world situations. The development process begins with setting learning objectives, creating instructional guides for simulation-based learning, identifying necessary materials and equipment for each subject, developing plans/manuals, creating a practice guide, and evaluating outcomes. Moreover, there is an exchange of knowledge between nursing instructors and nurses in practical training settings to develop highly realistic simulations. This practice guide recommends the following to enhance the systematic administration of teaching and learning, to foster learners' competencies to achieve desired learning outcomes as defined by the curriculum: 1) aligning the design of simulation with the nursing process framework; 2) planning the development of simulation for all subjects to comply with the competency levels of each year; and 3) designing a systematic evaluation for the use of simulation.
