Simulation

Simulation in education can be defined as a method or pattern of learning and training based on imitating or approximating reality, as it develops the ability of the individual to learn the necessary skills and solve various problems, simulation is the role that the learner plays in an artificially created environment

Simulation has entered the field of education recently, as the learner is trained practically in addition to the transfer of theoretical learning, for example, the student's teacher needs to be trained in simulation situations before being sent to school to practice teaching, as this is done in an artificially created environment, and then he is sent to the real school, and therefore the teacher will be able to teach in an excellent way

Advantages of simulation in education...

Turning knowledge into practice Simulation-based learning allows students to apply abstract concepts to active practice, for example, nursing students can read about how to perform a procedure, but practice will help them feel more comfortable, as practice with placebo patients helps facilitate students' proper learning and understanding.

Measuring students' understanding...

Another benefit of simulation in healthcare education is the ability to measure students' understanding, for example, the teacher determines perceptions of a scenario, and based on these perceptions or parameters he can collect data about students' progress and understanding, by observing how they make decisions and how long it takes them to take specific actions.

After observation, information about the skills that need more practice is collected by students to master, and based on the above, obtaining this information creates a future safety net for participants by not placing unprepared and sick students in risky situations outside of simulations.

Practitioner and Patient Safety...

Simulation learning allows students and patients to experience a peer to a real case without putting themselves and others at risk, as students usually train with placebo patients so that if they make mistakes in their treatment protocol, this will not negatively affect any real person or patient, so simulation may contribute to training students well while keeping themselves and others safe.

Expanding knowledge...

By engaging students and teachers in a simulation learning activity and enriching their scientific conversations, many of their knowledge and skills will be expanded by learning the mistakes made in previous simulation activities, thus achieving active participation among students.https://youtu.be/dFuOZwvzxow
