Abstract

The role of the nurse educator is complex and it is imperative that educators design pertinent learning activities including implementation of innovative teaching strategies while using the latest pedagogical techniques, and evaluating that learning occurred. This study utilized a quantitative, quasi-experimental, comparison group, crossover design and compared teaching strategies using simulation in the classroom. The purpose of the study was to determine if fourth semester Associate of Science in Nursing students who participated in debriefing sessions after watching recorded high-fidelity simulation scenarios in a nursing class obtained higher examination scores than those who received the same content through traditional lecture format with case studies.
