This study investigated whether implementation of an instructional strategy during hospital orientation preceptorship of newly graduated nurses would impact their confidence and ease of transition. Findings revealed an increase in confidence of newly graduated nurses after implementation of cognitive apprenticeship principles. The findings suggest that it can be beneficial to teaching cognitive apprenticeship principles to preceptors for use during preceptorship.
Simulation provides a safe, controlled environment for learning. Using faculty-led role modeling during simulation as a classroom learning experience provides an opportunity for both inductive and reflective learning. Role modeling occurs when a behavior or skill is demonstrated and then duplicated by an observer. Inductive learning and reflection in faculty-led simulations allow the student an opportunity to observe behaviors and create new knowledge by using prior and newly presented knowledge. This innovation brings deeper level thinking into the classroom via simulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
