Using consensus group methods to improve simulation using immersive media in paramedicine
2017
Problem: Simulation is a cornerstone of paramedic pedagogy. It facilitates a learning-centred approach which explicitly links the learning and teaching environment to the real world and enables the student to construct new understandings of paramedic practice threshold concepts. Although the benefits of simulation in medical and health education have been well researched, there is a paucity of research into how to deliver simulation using immersive media (IM) due to its recency as a strategy in paramedicine. This study explored student feedback of simulations using IM to improve the efficacy of learning activities designed for the recently commissioned University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) immersive simulation studio. Method: Feedback was taken using a modified Nominal Group Technique (NGT) consensus method post implementation of an IM strategy. Participants were second year students of the Bachelor of Paramedic Science program at USC who had undertaken simulation using immersive media in 2015. Results: ...
