CHSE Exam Question and Answer [2026/2027]
| UPDATED ACTUAL Exam | Complete Exam Prep
• Constructivism -✓✓ - Piaget, Vygotsky
- Active learning theory
- Learning builds on previous experience
- Learning is actively constructed through interaction with environment
- Marked by reflection
- learner focused
- doing is learning
- the goal is problem-solving, reasoning, critical thinking and active/reflective use of
knowledge
• Andragogy -✓✓ - Knowles
- Adult learning theory
- Supports constructivism because it builds on learners previous experience
• Experiential Learning Theory- concepts (4) -✓✓ - Kolb
- Four main concepts:
1. Concrete experience (CE)
2. Abstract conceptualization (AC)
3. Reflective observation (RO)
4. Active experimentation (AE)
• Scaffolding Learning Theory -✓✓ - Vygotsky
- novice learner requires resources and support from mentor to increase knowledge and
build on it progressively
• Kirkpatrick level 1 -✓✓ Reaction- level of satisfaction with learning activity
• Kirkpatrick level 2 -✓✓ Learning- how much was learned, reflects a change in
attitudes/ knowledge
• Kirkpatrick Level 3 -✓✓ Behaviour- how has behaviour changed as a result
• Kirkpatrick Level 4 -✓✓ Results- change in practice or change in organization
• Miller -✓✓ Pyramid of Learning
Knows
-> Knows How
, -> Shows How
-> Does
• Functional Fidelity -✓✓ - Degree of accuracy in the operation of the simulated system
- Physiologic manifestations are how a real person would respond
• Task Fidelity -✓✓ How authentic a simulated task are to a real task- e.g. trainer
engorging when tourniquet is placed
• Physical Fidelity -✓✓ - Realism of the physical space for the simulation
- Includes visual, auditory, (vomiting) tactile and spatial surroundings
• Kern step 1 curriculum development -✓✓ - problem identification and general needs
Ideal - current approach = general assessment
• Kern step 2 curriculum development -✓✓ Needs analysis of targeted learners
• Kern step 3 curriculum development -✓✓ Goals and objectives
• Kern step 4 curriculum development -✓✓ Educational strategies
• Kern step 5 curriculum development -✓✓ Implementation
• Kern step 6 curriculum development -✓✓ Evaluation
• Psychological Fidelity -✓✓ Degree to which learner perceives the simulation to be real
• Low Fidelity -✓✓ Use of task trainers for practice of single skills that allows learners to
practice in isolation
• Medium Fidelity -✓✓ Use of full body manikins or SPs in a setting that lacks full
immersion
• High Fidelity -✓✓ Allows for immersion in as real as possible setting
• Funneling Debriefing -✓✓ Learners are guided during Debriefing but the debriefer
does not comment
• Bloom's Taxonomy- cognitive (6) -✓✓ Hierarchy of Learning:
2.1 Knowledge- Remembering (memory)- repetition
2.2 Comprehension/ Understanding (knowledge, clarification and explanation)- explain,
identify, locate
