What is the goal of using simulation environment for teaching and assessment? -
correct Answer-1) Promote patient safety
2) Protect patients from harm

Traditional educational theories - correct Answer-Teacher centered and based on what
the educator could provide to the learner.
Postmodern theories - correct Answer-Are more often take into account the social
meaning of learning, the relationship of knowledge and power, and are more likely to
consider multiple and innovative always of learning.
Metaphysics - correct Answer-Study of what is real
Axiology - correct Answer-Study of what is good
Epistemology - correct Answer-Study of what is truth and knowledge
Behaviorism Definition - correct Answer-ingrained theory in education and structures
teaching plans
Constructivism Definition - correct Answer-ideal theory to encapsulate, ground, and
expand what is done in the simulation laboratory because its major tenets promote
active learning.
8 Major Tenets of Behaviorism - correct Answer-1. Learning is observable through
behavior.
2. Learning is reinforced by response.
3. Behavior modification leads to control.
4. Token economies may be used for classroom management.
5.Instructional objectives guide learning.
6. Learning is shaped by others.
7. Learning is teacher centered.
8. Behaviorists include Watson, Skinner, Pavlov, and Bandura.
, Behaviorism difficulties for education - correct Answer-1. Behaviorism doesn't explain
intrinsic motivation of the learner.
2. All learning is not displayed in behavior.
3. By predetermining objectives or outcomes, the depth and breadth of learners'
experiences may be squelched.
Idealism (Plato, Socrates) - correct Answer-* Ideas are important
* People would like to live in a perfect world
* Interactive immersion education, e.g., as designed experiences in serious gaming may
participate in "ideal" worlds
Realism (Positivism) (Aristotle) - correct Answer-* The world is orderly
* Science can be viewed objectively and analyzed
* Develops knowledge that is value and context free
Perennialism (Thomas Aquinas) - correct Answer-* Traditional education style
* Teacher centered
* Liberal education is valued
* Includes great thinkers of the past
* Prepares learners for adult life
* Reading, writing, and arithmetic are important
Information processing (Gagne, 1970) - correct Answer-* Describes how information is
received, stored, and processed in the mind.
* Learning is a function of the brain (sometimes called brain-based learning)
* Humans process information and store it in memory
* Memory is achieved by sensory input that goes to short-term memory (working
memory), which is stored, if significant, in long-term memory
Behaviorism (Pavlov, Watson, Skinner) - correct Answer-* Stimulus-response is the
basis for learning
* An environment develops the person
* Requires behavior modification and management
* Positive reinforcement is used to encourage acceptable behavior
* Generated the idea of "programmed learning"
* Tyler (1949) Introduced behavioral objectives
* Faculty devices on the educational experience
* Education is still steeped in behaviorism today with lockstep curricula
Social learning theory or social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1977) - correct Answer-*
Role-modeling behavior for learners
* Perception of confidence in oneself i the situation (self-efficacy)
* Positive expectations are the incentives
