PURPOSE Simulation-based learning is increasingly used by healthcare professionals as a safe method to learn and practice non-technical skills, such as communication and leadership, required for effective crisis resource management (CRM). This systematic review was conducted to gain a better understanding of the impact of simulation-based CRM teaching on transfer of learning to the workplace an...

This paper focuses on a spreadsheet-based approach to teaching simulation. The objective is to introduce spreadsheets as a powerful simulation tool for educational purposes. The spreadsheet simulation facilitates the familiarisation with basic simulation concepts apart from simulation software. The paper deals with basic types of simulation models suitable for spreadsheets. The static stochasti...

the ultimate purpose in designing a curriculum should be to have an organized system of what is to be learned when an area of study is identified. the curriculum development should be designed in such a way that even the beginners are able to get a complete idea of the subject over a period of time on learning it. the curriculum should be as of that it should make him/her to get involved in kno...

Normal experiential learning that leads to an expert professional in clinical practice is associated with prolonged exposure to that practice. The overriding idea is that by simulating clinical scenarios, learning is accelerated by the debriefing/feedback session. The expert knowledge is made explicit to the trainee and reinforced with video and verbal feedback. Definition Simulate: Latin simul...

background :comparing computer and internet based instruction with traditional giving lecture would provide enough evidence to identify best teaching practice. in this study, we compared lecture, interactive internet based and computer based learning regarding medical students' knowledge acquisition and satisfaction in teaching pathophysiology of hematology and oncology.   methods : eighty four...

abstracttask-based language teaching is considered an effective way to achieve a harmony between grammar and communication. the present study investigates two different ways of teaching modal verbs: task-based versus traditional approaches. to this purpose, an oxford placement test was administered to select 40 homogeneous participants out of a larger population who took this test. the selected...

The teaching curriculum in anesthesia involves traditional teaching methods like topic-based didactic lectures, seminars, and journal clubs; intraoperative apprenticeship; and problem-based learning (PBL) and simulation. The advantages of incorporating PBL in anesthesia teaching include development of skills like clinical reasoning, critical thinking, and self-directed learning; in addition it ...

An interactive cell modeling web site, iCell (http://ssd1.bme.memphis.edu/icell/), that integrates research and education, was developed as a simulationbased teaching and learning tool for electrophysiology. The site consists of JAVA applets representing models of various cardiac cells and neurons, and provides simulation data of their bioelectric activities at cellular level. Each JAVA-based m...
