Description


Course Code: MMACLD_01

Masters Level Module


In this module, participants will examine the significance of technology, including simulation technology, for clinical learning and clinical practice. We will explore concepts and methods to describe and evaluate the use of technology and simulation in clinical education; how simulation and technology-enhanced learning affects what is learned about clinical practice; the role of simulation technologies in developing inter-professional communication and team-based working in clinical settings; the ethical issues raised by teaching clinical practice using simulation; and how the quality of research on simulation and educational technology in clinic…

Course Code: MMACLD_01

Masters Level Module


In this module, participants will examine the significance of technology, including simulation technology, for clinical learning and clinical practice. We will explore concepts and methods to describe and evaluate the use of technology and simulation in clinical education; how simulation and technology-enhanced learning affects what is learned about clinical practice; the role of simulation technologies in developing inter-professional communication and team-based working in clinical settings; the ethical issues raised by teaching clinical practice using simulation; and how the quality of research on simulation and educational technology in clinical education can be assessed. Assessment tasks are structured to enable participants analyse their professional experience in the light of educational research literature; for example, participants will be able to gather data from their workplace for analysis during the module. Key questions for this module are: how can simulation and technology-enhanced learning help address the challenges facing clinical education? How do simulation and educational technology impact on what counts as good clinical practice? How can one evaluate the claims, in policy and in research, about the significance of simulation and educational technology for clinical practice?

The module is taught by leading researchers in the field of simulation and educational technology and will make extensive use of empirical research. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss and reflect on their own experience of teaching and learning, through group tasks and class discussions. By the end of the module, participants will be able to draw on a range of conceptual frameworks to analyse and make judgments about how people learn clinical practice using simulation and educational technologies.

The module is taught over 5 whole days, one day every two weeks between October and December. Teaching sessions start at 10 a.m. and finish at 5 p.m. The dates for 2012 are: 17th October, 31st October, 14th November, 28th November, 12th December 2012.

The module can be taken as a short course. It can also be taken as a component of a number of MA programmes at the Institute of Education.
