“…Therefore, theoretically, a group of students that provides more creative answers will receive a higher grade than the others. All the different activities in the class will allow the students to sharpen their cognitive skill of creativity, which is associated, in turn, with a higher academic achievement, which other extant studies also have identified (Burke, ; Choi et al ., ; Layne et al ., ; Martyn et al ., ; Van Vliet et al ., ). The results of this study provide the nursing science discipline with a good reason to diversify the nursing science education in terms of applying effective pedagogies.…”

“…In the discipline of nursing science, critical thinking has been a main interest as the outcome of higher education and many studies have tried to examine the effect of an innovative pedagogy in an effort to foster the skill. Now, there is ample evidence that an active learning approach is positively associated with critical thinking skills (Burke, ; Choi et al ., ; Layne et al ., ; Martyn et al ., ; Van Vliet, Winnips, & Brouwer, ). Yet, most of them tried to examine the effectiveness of PBL, TBL (Choi et al .…”

“…One of the most frequently used study variables in regard to the positive outcomes of an active learning strategy is critical thinking (Burke, ; Park et al ., 2016). The AACN () announced that critical thinking skills are one of the core values in nursing education because they help students to integrate nursing knowledge from both clinical experience and cognitive knowledge (Burke; Choi et al ., ).…”

“…This would enable nursing students to transit smoothly from “theoretical” to “practical” nursing. Many nursing scholars have come to the conclusion that applying active learning strategies help students to foster competencies, such as problem‐solving and critical thinking skills, that are critical for a successful nursing professional (Burke, ; Cater, Creedy, & Sidebotham, ; Cheng, Liou, Tsai, & Chang, ; Everly).…”

“…For example, VR can be used to train clinicians in complex procedures such as transvenous lead extraction, is effective in cardiopulmonary resuscitation training, can improve communication skills, enhance critical thinking and improve clinical decision making. [15][16][17][18][19] VR has also been favourably tested against physical simulation. In one paper, 84 nursing students were randomised to either a virtual or physical nursing simulation.…”

Author: A co-founder and chief medical officer, Oxford Medical Simulation , London, UK would do in real life, then providing feedback and debrief on performance. Simulation is effective in many domains and has been found to be 'superior to traditional clinical education, producing powerful educational interventions that yield immediate and lasting results.' 1 However, while simulation is becoming central to healthcare education, it requires significantly more resources than traditional education. At a time when healthcare systems and educational institutions globally are struggling with growing demands and limited budgets, additional resources are hard to come by.Fortunately, there has been a recent dramatic expansion in the ways in which we can deliver medical education. This has not only been through the internet and mobile devices, but through immersive technologies. These technologies -including augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) -can transform how we deliver educational experiences.VR in particular has been adopted across medical and nursing fields. VR involves the user putting on a VR headset to become completely immersed in an interactive virtual environment. When used with appropriate educational software, this allows the user to learn from experience in the virtual world. This paper outlines what VR is; its strengths, its weaknesses, the evidence behind it, its use in practice and where the future lies. What is virtual reality?VR is the use of software to create an immersive simulated environment. Unlike traditional user interfaces, to experience VR, users put on head-mounted display (HMD) which places the user inside an experience, where they can engage with the environment and virtual characters in a way that feels real. VR has a unique power, more than any other technology that has ever existed, to make users believe they are in a different environment. This allows them to learn from experience as they would do in real life. 2 This ability to deliver experiences on demand is where the power of VR lies. Screen-based learningConfusingly, screen-based learning has previously been referred to as 'virtual reality' in the medical literature. However, there is now an understanding that the value of virtual reality comes from immersion and the sense of presence -the feeling of 'being there' -that it generates. 3,4 As such, only VR that is immersive -using headsets that completely block out the real world -is now referred to as 'virtual reality'. Medical education is changing. Simulation is increasingly becoming a cornerstone of clinical training and, though effective, is resource intensive. With increasing pressures on budgets and standardisation, virtual reality (VR) is emerging as a new method of delivering simulation. VR offers benefits for learners and educators, delivering cost-effective, repeatable, standardised clinical training on demand. A large body of evidence supportsVR simulation in all industries, including healthcare. Though VR is not a panacea, it is a powerful educational tool fo...
