Learning goals
̶ Student will familiarise with the basic principles of simulationbased
education.

What is a simulation?
̶ modern interactive teaching
method
̶ it creates a situation or
environment to allow persons
to experience a representation
of a real event for the purpose
of practice, learning,
evaluation, testing, etc.
Knowledge
Technical skills
Attitudes, non-technical
skills
Basic principles of simulation-based education4
What can we learn/train in the simulations?
̶ management of the patient
̶ technical skills
̶ teamwork
̶ communication
̶ competences concentrated on patient‘s safety
̶ testing new hospital protocols, etc.

What is it all for?
̶ the aim is not to “catch” you in a mistake or to prove that you
cannot do the procedure or do not know something, etc.
̶ in First Aid practice we also will not assess your performance in
the simulation
̶ our aim is to:
̶ give you the opportunity to train all the skills of giving first aid practically
̶ give you the opportunity to repeat the steps many times to learn them
properly and to focus on the process of learning
̶ learn from the mistakes you will do in the safe learning environment where
you cannot harm anyone
̶ learn to give and receive feedback

How to maximize your learning in the
simulation?
̶ self-study and prepare before the practice
̶ pay attention during the practice
̶ be active in the simulations (try different roles), take part in the
post-simulation trainings
̶ observe your colleagues
̶ be open to feedback
̶ interact in the debriefing

Fixed vs. growth mindset
Basic principles of simulation-based education13
Feedback
̶ specific information that compares the performance of the
participant with expected “standard”
̶ the aim is to improve and to approximate to “standard”
̶ concrete information including details, examples, etc.
concentrated on things we can change
̶ active listening
Basic principles of simulation-based education14
Debriefing
̶ facilitated reflection that follows a
learning activity
̶ the aim is to identify together the
performance gaps and to close
them
̶ active participation of the learner
̶ structured approach

Learning outcomes
̶ Student knows the basic principles of simulation-based education.
