Advance HE Teaching & Learning Conference 2018: The exploration of students’ learning gain following immersive simulation: The impact of feedback

Simulation has become a pedagogy integral to the professional preparation of students for real-world settings. A literature review demonstrates its impact in the developed world where countries such as the UK Australia and the USA invest time and resource in the development of sophisticated simulation suites for their students. A mixed-method study at the University of Surrey UK analysed the sustainability of this model for pre-registration nursing preparation for practice. In particular the study findings focus on the ability of students to transfer their learning from simulation to real-life practice.
