“…On the other hand, it could be argued that technology has an uneven effect on teachers and students, based on their familiarity, comfort, and expertise with technology, and their intent of how to use technology. It is well established that every new generation can understand and use technology better than the previous one (Canas-Bajo et al, 2016). So, it not uncommon that nursing students can use sophisticated devices easier and more efficient than faculty members.…”
Section: Advantages and Disadvantages Of Simulation As An Educationalmentioning
Nursing education has evolved from being descriptive and more conventional to using state-of-the-art equipment such as simulators and/or computer software. Educational institutions invest in costly technology in order to prepare students for clinical practice while not worrying for patient's safety and confidentiality. On the other hand, educators need to be able not only to use modern technology, but also to prepare appropriate and active learning courses transforming students from passive receptors of knowledge to critical thinkers who can apply their theoretical knowledge in the actual clinical or community setting. The goal of high-fidelity technologies integration into education is to achieve high level and cost-effective care and ultimate patient outcomes.

“…Timing may also influence when people believe certain technological capabilities should be possible to realise -i.e., their temporal notions of technological experience, and when they expect such technological capabilities to be possible. This involves living life in relation to technology with the expectations of what should be 'to hand' (Heidegger 1962) -and when -regarding their own life and techno-generational timeline (Canas-Bajo et al 2016;Sackmann and Winkler 2013). People hold set notions, or mental representations of the past, present and future, throughout their lifetimes.…”
Section: Maya and The Stylistic Language Of The Futurementioning
Humans behave and experience technological design in conflicting and contradictory ways. On the one hand, the very mention of the word 'future' conjures expectations of the radically new and unexpected. On the other hand, previous research has shown that people have a threshold level of change and the unexpected that they can cope with. Their expectations are dominated by mental images of familiar associations with what has been previously associated with the future. As a rule, humans cope with incremental changes, yet have difficulty accepting the entirely unfamiliar. This makes it harder to imagine a future of radical technology design and interactions, particularly when attempting to predict possible emotional outcomes. This chapter describes the emotional balance between the familiar and the unfamiliar in design creations, which has also been observed in theories such as the Most Advanced Yet Acceptable (MAYA) theory. The MAYA theory emphasises the complexity and irony of incremental versus radical changes in renewing design language and technological systems for the future. By carefully observing classical cases of previous game-changing technological innovations, including their hype and acceptance curves, a model is proposed that illustrates how a radical design future may be achieved by tapping into emotional, ideological and interactive logic, rather than formalistic (material-based) design choices. The chapter highlights the role that culture and cultural discourse play in cognition and emotions when considering future technology design in terms of 'thinking outside the box'.
“…Por otro lado, se han analizado también barreras como la ansiedad ante el ordenador, baja autoeficacia percibida en el uso de dispositivos digitales, factores socioculturales asociados a la Inteligencia Fluida (Czaja et al, 2006;Mostaghel y Oghazi, 2017), así como factores relacionados con déficits perceptivo-sensoriales y/o motóricos, la salud percibida, etc. (Charness y Boot, 2009;Cañas et al, 2016;Leikas et al, 2013;O'Brien et al, 2013). Por último, el estudio del uso que las personas mayores hacen de las tecnologías digitales se ha canalizado recientemente dentro del denominado paradigma del diseño tecnológico basado en la vida (the life-based desing, lbd).…”
Section: El Papel Educativo De La Tecnología (Digital) En La Vejezunclassified
Resumen: El artículo presenta un panorama general de las relaciones entre envejecimiento y tecnologías digitales. Analiza el contexto social caracterizado por el sobreenvejecimento y la digitalización general de las sociedades desarrolladas. En ese marco se presenta un área emergente de estudio e innovación denominada gerontecnología y se define el papel que la pedagogía y la educación pueden tener en este nuevo ámbito multidisciplinar. Palabras clave: personas mayores; tecnología digital; virtualización tecnológica; gerontecnología.
