Learning unit contents
This teaching unit is composed of 3 modules that cover the concepts and theoretical bases of simulation in a learning context.
Introduction to simulation.
This first module addresses the origins of simulation, as well as the pedagogical/learning processes that are triggered in learners. Simulation is a learner-centred teaching tool that allows learners to be engaged and active in their learning.
The different types of simulation and the structure of a session.
This module details the different types of simulation (human, synthetic, electronic, etc.) and the structured set-up of a complete simulation session. The practical implementation of a simulation session always follows the same dynamic and is separated into 4 main stages (pre-briefing - briefing - simulation - debriefing). For each of them, the teacher/instructor has a role to play, whether it be scientific production, logistical role or emotional support.
An important focus will be on establishing a climate of psychological safety during the pre-briefing, and up to the debriefing.
Scenario building
The creation of scenarios is the starting point for any simulation. It is a matter of creating and imagining the situation in which the learners will be immersed. A whole series of things must be determined beforehand, the necessary and available resources must be listed, the pedagogical objectives must be described, the material that will be used, etc.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, the student will be able to:
1) Introduction to simulation :
- Describe what medical simulation is
- Understand the impact of human factors in the occurrence of errors and the role of simulation in the process of improving the quality and safety of care
- Understand the roles of the teacher and the learner in the learning process.
2) The different types of simulation and the structure of a session:
- Know the different types of simulation and the different phases of a simulation session
- Adapt the type of simulation to the learning objective and the target audience
- Understand for each phase, the importance of the security framework in the learning of the learners.
- Set up in an effective, structured and safe way the 4 main phases of a simulation session (pre-briefing-briefing-situation-debriefing).
- Know the different debriefing techniques
- Conduct a benevolent debriefing that contributes to the learners' learning process.
3) Building a scenario :
- Writing SMART pedagogical objectives
- Create a scenario adapted to the simulation modality, the target audience and the educational objectives pursued.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
This unit/these courses is/are a prerequisite for teaching unit 2 (Further study in health simulation) and 3 (The operational aspects of a simulation centre) and for the completion of the placements and the portfolio.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
- Theoretical part: Video clips or podcasts will be used for the theoretical parts, but also "online" courses, seminars in order to promote interactions with teachers or experts.
- Reflective part: In class or online, debates and discussions will be conducted on the basis of case studies (problem-based learning).
- Practical part: In class, exercises of situation, creation and simulation sessions will be carried out in groups.
The reflective and practical parts will/should promote student-teacher, but also student-student interactions. Teaching based on socio-constructivism.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Blended learning
Additional information:
Hybrid teaching (alternating online support and face-to-face courses)
Recommended or required readings
Course notes will be distributed
Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam AND oral exam
Written work / report
Continuous assessment
Additional information:
See assessment procedures for the whole certificate.
Work placement(s)
The educational objectives associated with this module are essential to the practice of internships. Indeed, the student must know the structure of a session, and be able to apply certain principles during the internship.
