clinical practice, ACPs can often find themselves involved

in teaching junior colleagues. Having a basic understanding of how learning happens and how teaching can support
this process can assist healthcare professionals in creating an
effective educational environment.
Constructive alignment
Constructive alignment is the process of ensuring that an educational encounter or programme achieves that which it intends to.
It does this by encouraging educators to consider three key areas.
•
First, the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) should be set.
These should help the learner and educator to be clear on what
they are expected to achieve from the session and should utilise
verbs to help learners know what action they need to take for
successful completion (e.g. ‘explain’, ‘demonstrate’ or ‘describe’).
•
Second, the teaching activities should be planned with consideration of how they will help learners to achieve the ILOs. Educators
should consider how the format of the activity contributes to the
overall aims of the session. For example, is the session best as a
one- to- one, small group or larger session? Should it be teacher led
or student centred? What should the session cover?
•
Finally, the educator should consider how to assess successful
completion of the session. For this, they should refer to the verbs
used in the ILOs to ensure that the expectations match the reality.
By using constructive alignment to provide the link between
learning and assessment, learners are empowered to understand
the expectation upon them from an educational encounter,
therefore having the opportunity to actively demonstrate the
depth of their knowledge, not merely answer simple questions
(see Bloom’s taxonomy of learning– Figure47.1).
Ensuring learning is appropriate
The primary purpose of education is to ensure that learners
develop in their knowledge, skills and understanding of a specific subject area or task. For this reason, it is essential that educators ensure that the expected level of attainment is appropriate
to the student’s stage of learning and competence.
The comfort model describes the importance of ensuring that
a teaching encounter provides learners with an adequate level of
stretch to encourage their development without the contents or
expectations being so excessive that learning is hindered by
panic. Likewise, the model suggests that teaching mediums
should be planned so that learning is sufficient to ensure that
students do not remain in an area where they are already comfortable in their knowledge base.
Vygotsky’s model of the sociocultural theory of human learning describes learning as a social process and the origination of
human intelligence in society or culture (Figure47.2). The major
theme of Vygotsky’s theoretical framework is that social interaction plays a fundamental role in the development of cognition.
Vygotsky believed everything is learned on two levels: first,
through interaction with others, and then integrated into the
individual’s mental structure. Every function in the person’s cultural development appears twice: first, on the social level, and
later, on the individual level; first, between people (interpsychological) and then inside the person (intrapsychological). This
applies equally to voluntary attention, to logical memory and to
the formation of concepts. All the higher functions originate as
actual relationships between individuals.
A second aspect of Vygotsky’s theory is the idea that the potential for cognitive development is limited to a ‘zone of proximal
development’ (ZPD). This ‘zone’ is the area of exploration for which
the student is cognitively prepared but requires help and social
interaction to fully develop. A teacher or more experienced peer
can provide the learner with ‘scaffolding’ to support the student’s
evolving understanding of knowledge domains or development of
complex skills. Collaborative learning, discourse, modelling and
scaffolding are strategies for supporting the intellectual knowledge
and skills of learners and facilitating intentional learning.
Experiential learning andconstructivism
Kolb’s learning cycle (Figure47.3) demonstrates the process that
learners take in gaining new knowledge and skills and is particularly
pertinent to healthcare education due to the benefits of experiential learning and reflection in skills acquisition and its prominence
within the simulated learning environment. Kolb’s experiential
learning theory works on two levels: a fouring and four separate learning styles. Much of Kolb’s theory is
concerned with the learner’s internal cognitive
essence of Kolb’s theory is a description of the learning process,
which is defined as a fourlearning cycle begins at any one of these four stages, but the
following is the sequence most often suggested for the learning
process.
1 Concrete experience: the learning process begins with the
learner actively carrying out an experience/activity.
2 Reflective observation: following the Concrete Experience
stage, the learner consciously reflects on that experience.
3 Abstract conceptualisation: the learner attempts to understand
the general principles under the experience, trying to conceptualise a theory, model or hypothesis of what is observed.
4 Active experimentation: the learner trys to determine how to
test a model, theory and/or plan for new experiences, probably
with different behaviours.
The cycle consists of four areas which allow learners to
skill or participate in an experience followed by the opportunity
to reflect upon their performance. Following their reflection, they
can consider the new concepts which they have observed and
begin to use these within practice, hence beginning the cycle
anew. This cycle suggests that learners are always looking to
develop and improve their skills, and as such it can be beneficial
for educators to view it as a spiral rather than a circle, whereby the
learner never returns to the start of the cycle but relearning process from a more advanced starting point, thus deepening their knowledge in a manner that allows new learning to be
constructed upon previously gained knowledge.
This concept can be utilised effectively by advanced clinical
practitioners (ACPs) looking to provide an effective learning experience through the concept of a spiral curriculum. This means that
when learners are attending a study programme or learning skills,
areas of learning should be continuously revisited to provide reinforcement and development of more complex levels of understanding and competence. For example, if a trainee ACP is learning
line insertion in the intensive care unit (ICU), they may begin with
a straightforward insertion, whereby the supervisor controls the
ultrasound and obtains the initial puncture. With time, the spiral
curriculum would allow the learner to improve their understanding and ability by taking on more complex components of the procedure or attempting cannulation of more difficult vessels, with
the supervisor continuing to revisit areas of prior learning to reinforce and build upon the learner’s ability.
This process of students building on their existing knowledge to
enable ongoing learning is known as constructivism. Constructivist

practice settings and scenarios, in order that clinicians and
S
learners can carry out tasks of varying complexity in a safe
and supported environment and improve their learning. Students
have the opportunity to put into practice skills they have learnt,
in a realistic setting, and then afterwards take part in structured
debriefing of the simulation in order that they, and other participants, can learn from what has taken place. This moves us on
from the historical ‘see one, do one, teach one’ educational
method used in healthcare settings in the past.
There are a number of considerations when planning to use
SBE as an education tool. Table48.1 explores these in more depth
in addition to this chapter.
Why use simulation- based education?
Medical error is currently the 14th leading cause of death in the
world, and in the UK we harm approximately one in 20 of our
patients through, often avoidable, human errors. Medication
errors in England alone account for 1700lives and £98 billion in
costs to the NHS, as over 237million medication errors are made
per year. A number of human factors, including decision making,
situational awareness, communication and teamworking, can be
observed. These are then discussed in the debrief using a technique of ‘advocacy with enquiry’, exploring why learners feel the
way the way do, how decisions were made, and how they felt they
behaved. This gives learners the opportunity to undertake stressful, complex or rarely seen scenarios, so that when a similar experience occurs in clinical practice, they feel better prepared for it.
How touse simulation- based education
Any simulation should be designed with a set of learning objectives. These objectives may be mapped to a curriculum, a highlighted learning need within clinical practice or to look at specific
elements of behaviour, such as decision making, for example. A
number of factors then need to be considered in the planning, as
evidence shows that poorly designed simulation can have negative impacts on learners.
Once the learning objectives have been set, scenario design
can be undertaken. There are a number of different factors to
consider, such as the use of technology or manikins, through to
whether or not to use simulated patients (SPs), who may be specially trained actors or members of faculty who undertake the
role of the patient within the scenario. Plans need to be made for
what may happen throughout the scenario. For example, what
will the patient’s physiological observations do if an intervention
is made by the learner? You may also want to use a ‘plant’ within
your scenario– a member of faculty who is there to ensure the
scenario plays out to the learning objectives and can interact
with the learner and steer them in a certain way.
However your scenario is designed, it is important to ensure
realism where possible. The learner should always be there in
their own role, not asking an ACP to play the part of a consultant,
for example. To add to this realism, it is useful to ask learners to
attend in their own work clothing, so they feel immersed in the
situation. Any tasks undertaken or tests requested should be
done in real time and results then fed back appropriately.
When planning your scenario, it is important to ensure you
have ‘escape plans’ in place in case the learner behaves differently
from how you would have expected, as stopping the scenario
may have a detrimental effect on learning.
The debrief should then take place immediately after the scenario, with the learner, facilitator and any observers. It may also
be useful for learning to have some input from simulated patients,
if used, as they can provide insight into how they felt the learner
behaved and how the communication was. The time ratio of scenario to debrief should be 1:2, so a 10- minute simulation will
need a 20takes place. Those debriefing a simulation should have had
appropriate training as, as with the simulation itself, poor
debriefing can have a negative impact on learners.
minute debrief. This is where the majority of learning
Decision making insimulation
One of the things that can be closely examined during simulation
scenarios is the learner’s ability to make decisions, and how this
was done. An element which commonly has an impact on a clinician’s ability to make a decision is stress, as stress can limit the
use of shortlongStress is unfortunately commonplace in modernbut we get very little training in how to deal with it.
Stress inoculation testing (SIT) is well documented to work in
the training of military, athletes and emergency response teams.
We can use simulation to replicate stressful scenarios in clinical
practice, ranging from cardiac arrest resuscitation to working
with unco- operative colleagues, adding in time pressures and
distractions. In doing so, we can examine how the stress of these
situations affects the learner, and then later in the debrief look at
how these factors were dealt with and, importantly how they can
be overcome in future situations. Trials looking at how this training affected those dealing with stressful situations regularly in
emergency healthcare settings found that using repeated stress

Standards forsimulation- based education
The Association for Simulated Practice in Healthcare (ASPiH) has
a framework of standards which describes the attributes required
to design and deliver simulation
intended to provide quality assurance to providers, regulators,
healthcare professionals and governing bodies. By following the
ASPiH standards framework, simulation providers can ensure
they are using evidence- based practice under four themes.
The first theme is faculty, guaranteeing that those delivering
are appropriately trained to a high standard in education and
simulation, and that subject matter experts oversee simulation
programmes. This also includes ensuring that faculty are trained
in debriefing and highlights the need to ensure a safe learning
environment is maintained for learners. The second theme of
technical personnel calls for simulation technicians to be registered with the Science Council.
Theme three is activity. This prescribes the mapping of simulation to curricula or learning needs analysis undertaken in clinical practice. The activity theme also recommends regular review
of programmes and oversight by appropriate faculty to ensure
content and relevance is maintained. The fourth and final theme,
resources, recognises the need for appropriate training environments. This also links in with the Department of Health
Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) framework

to produce improved patient outcomes, safety and experience.

Curriculum design
When developing simulations as part of a curriculum, it is
important to have an established set of learning outcomes.
Learning objectives should be achievable and set at an appropriate level for the learners. For simulation to be effective, the skills
needed within the scenario should have already been taught to
the candidates. There should also be consideration of how
human factors will be incorporated into the scenario, such as
teamworking, communication and decision making. The learners should be aware of the learning outcomes or the focus of the
scenario, for example conflict resolution, prior to the scenario
starting so that they are aware of what is being measured.
Virtual reality (VR) inhealthcare
education
The use of simulation in healthcare education has grown exponentially in the last decade, in particular the use of VR. VR is one of a
number of technology(Figure49.2). VR uses software to create immersive simulated environments which can range from a fully equipped clinical environment to the cytoplasm within a human cell. A large body of evidence
supports VR simulation in all industries and more recently healthcare. VR helps to promote knowledge acquisition and skill acquisition combined and as such has been shown to be effective in
ensuring patient safety during high- stakes clinical scenarios such as
complex surgery or timeplethora of evidence to support the notion that VR can significantly
improve learner performance, particularly in fields such as aviation, leading to reduction in potentially harmful mistakes being
caused as a result of human error.
The environment created by VR is largely computer generated,
with the more complex technologies requiring highcomputing equipment to run the software. The computergenerated environment offered by VR has classically been viewed
as offering limited interaction between the user and the simulated environment, unlike merged reality technologies. However,
developments in technologies specifically aimed at healthcare
education have seen platforms such as OMS Medical, developed
by Oxford Medical Simulation, fully integrating artificial intelligence capabilities within their software to drive patient behaviours. This allows the user to communicate, examine and treat a
variety of patients presented to them. The integrated adaptive
patient physiology and pharmaceutical modelling also give intuitive feedback on treatment decisions.
Although there is evidence to support the use of VR in healthcare
education, there has been a call for greater standardisation of how
to use immersive technologies in healthcare training and education. In the absence of national guidance, facilitators are encouraged to follow similar principles to ASPiH, particularly in terms
of curriculum development, setting robust learning objectives,
providing appropriate training for facilitators and applying the
same evidence- based debriefing principles that should be applied
to other simulation activities.

However, there is the extended
privilege of supporting ACP and junior medical colleagues in
their educational and professional journey. Alongside involvement in teaching (see Chapter47), the skills of the educational
supervisor should also include effective assessment, feedback
and communication.
What is workplace- based assessment?
Workplace- based assessments cover evaluation of more than
technical skills, allowing learners to develop their abilities in situational awareness, communication and teamwork. Bloom’s tax-
4
(Figure50.1) provides a useful tool to help educators to
onomy
understand the progression of learners’ cognition from basic factual recall through to the ability to evaluate and consider their
technical abilities within a changing, patient- centred envi-
nonronment. Indeed, evidence has shown that when students excel
in their understanding and application of knowledge within
exam settings, they have a stronger basis on which to achieve the
higher levels of Bloom’s hierarchy within work-
based practice.

Bloom’s taxonomy should be considered alongside the work

a supporting framework for assessment. As with Bloom,
(see Figure50.1) who similarly proposed a pyramid as
4
progression up the hierarchy comes from continued development
from a basic recall of information to being deemed an expert.
Miller notes that achievement at a higher level also implies that
the learner has achieved the lower levels of attainment; therefore,
a learner who has successfully completed a work- based assessment and achieved the level of ‘do’ would be assumed to have the
prerequisite level of competence that would otherwise need to be
assessed in knowledge-
based forms of assessment. It can therefore be argued that the highest level of Miller’s pyramid should
reflect what the learner does in practice using assessment tools
including DOPS, miniCEX and case-
based discussions, rather
than in simulated settings such as in the OSCE environment, in
order to provide an understanding of their established practice.
Feedback
It is believed that workplace- based assessments on their own have
limited effect on the performance of learners, with the biggest
drivers in improvement being the coaching and feedback received
rather than the preparatory work or assessments themselves.
7
Feedback is the process whereby someone, usually an assessor, provides their perspective on the performance of someone
else in order to improve their abilities. This process is often
learner centred, allowing them to interpret information intended
to empower them to evaluate and enhance their future performance and as such, learners should play a vital role within the
provision of feedback. Indeed, studies have demonstrated that
feedback is most effective when learners are motivated to receive
it and empowered to act upon it, and when feedback is timely,
addresses a specific task and is sufficiently objective to give the
learner the means to act upon it.
8,9
Ende’s guidelines foreffective feedback
Ende established a set of clinical principles for providing effective feedback,
fective and is often confused with the process of evaluation,
10
believing that feedback can otherwise be inef-
meaning that mistakes do not get rectified and clinical competence is not achieved. Although these guidelines offer good
advice, it could be argued that they fall short of providing an
explicit structure for the facilitation of feedback. Despite this,
when used with a defined structure, they can help both assessors
and learners to engage in constructive feedback processes,
helping to enforce the learning process by ensuring it is specific

student’s motives.
Pendleton’s feedback model
Pendleton’s feedback model11 (Figure50.2) is a four- step process which allows the assessor and learner to work together
immediately following an observational encounter, whereby
the discussion focuses on what parts of the assessment were
performed well, followed by which areas require improvement.
In both cases, the learner will open the discussion by reflectingon their practice, with the assessor following in order to
reinforce learning points and provide feedforward on how to
improve.
There is some criticism that Pendleton’s model can be seen
as artificial and therefore prevent discussion covering certain
elements such as how the learner will address their required
improvements and how to approach any deficits of which the
learner may be unaware, and educators should be aware of the
need to address these within feedback conversations. Despite
this, Pendleton’s model is widely used for structuring feedback
within healthcare education, with its ease of use allowing
learners and assessors to become equal partners in the feedback encounter. The agenda- led, outcome- based analysis
12
(ALOBA) technique
(Figure50.3) has been proposed as an
alternative.
Differential attainment andremediation
With competence having been discussed alongside taxonomy
scales, clinical supervisors should be aware that on occasions a
learner’s progression up the competence hierarchy to the
required level of attainment may not be achieved. Reasons for
this underperformance are believed to stem from numerous
causes, with a failure to fail within healthcare being well documented.
times learners can fail to thrive due to a multitude of institutional,
social and cognitive reasons. Where underperformance has
been detected, remediation should be offered using a combination of reflection and implementation of learning plans in order
to allow students to explore their strengths and weaknesses in
a safe environment, using resources including simulation as
available.
