Traditional forms of clinical pedagogy include post-observation feedback and side-by-side coaching. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate a newer strategy, bug-in-ear technology (BIET), in which clinical supervisors provide live feedback through a discrete earpiece. BIET has the potential to overcome limitations associated with…

Transformative learning theory has been recommended as a pedagogy of uncertainty for accommodating new beliefs that enable humans to thrive amid the challenges and complexity of our world. As higher education institutions embrace new roles and responsibilities, few studies have focused on how the disruptions caused by COVID-19 may facilitate…

Preceptors play a vital role in supporting nursing/midwifery students and new employees' transition and assimilation into their new role. Furthermore, with the increasing focus on educating more qualified nurses and midwives to meet health-related United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, there is a need for a more standardized and coordinated…

The student said, "Oh, that is why we learned that!". The student that sparked this research admitted that as she went through the program she often thought, "why are we learning this? I cannot see utilizing this in my everyday job." In academia today, we often treat the clinical or practicum experience as a separate component…

The 21st century has seen a rapid increase in the use of various innovative technologies in pedagogy. The attitude of the clinical teachers affects the use of these innovative technologies in teaching and learning. The aim of this research is to find out the attitude of clinical teachers using "The Tripartite Theory of Attitude"…

The Evidence-based Reasoning model is a systematic inquiry into student learning to determine what interventions are required in classroom contexts. The four step process includes noticing students who need additional support in their learning, the use of assessment data to establish an evidence-base, and subsequent interpretation that leads to…

Introduction: This study aimed to develop a cost-effective suturing and knot typing simulator that aligns with the expectations of experts, addressing the need for affordable yet high-quality medical training tools. The focus was on assessing the efficacy of a silicone skin suture task trainer, created through a 3D printed mold, for use in mobile…

This study examined how task complexity affected the temporal characteristics of self-regulated learning (SRL) behaviours in clinical reasoning. Eight-eight (N = 88) medical students participated in this study. They were required to diagnose two virtual patients of varying complexity in BioWorld, an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) designed to…

The purpose of this study was to compile research on the advantages and challenges of using digital technology in clinical education for undergraduate nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study employed an integrative literature review with the use of the five steps as per Cooper's framework. Data were collected from four electronic…

Many medical universities offer educational development activities to support clinical teachers in their teaching role. Research has focused on the scope and effectiveness of such activities and on why individual teachers attend. However, systemic perspectives that go beyond a focus on individual participants are scarce in the existing literature.…

Nursing faculty are responsible for graduating competent students and being competent themselves; however, the required competencies of clinical nursing faculty who instruct students in the clinical area are unidentified. The practice problem addressed in this project was the lack of a structured, organized process for identifying initial and…

Background: Diabetes education and treatment is a public health priority. Student-delivered strategies have the potential to offer low-cost, high-quality healthcare services to underserved patients while giving students practice experience. However, the effectiveness of these interventions is unknown. Purpose: To document study characteristics and…

Learning to adapt to new contexts is crucial in health professions education (HPE). Boundaries between and within contexts challenge continuity in students' learning processes. Little is known about how HPE students can make these "boundary experiences" productive for learning. We investigated how and what nursing students learn from…

The term 'clinical' is increasingly used to define the kind of teaching initial teacher education will produce. While affordances of this metaphor have been claimed, it has been less widely critiqued. As a teacher and a medical doctor, we bring our interdisciplinary understandings of curriculum studies and medicine to this analysis, to theorise…

Case-based learning (CBL) is an approach that uses clinical case activities in the classroom to engage students and encourage a deeper understanding of scientific concepts. Anatomy and Physiology (A&P) is a course that many students take as a prerequisite for admission to professional health schools. This study investigated the effect of CBL…
