Instruction and Guidance in Healthcare Simulation: A Scoping Review

Description

Scaffolding is a method where more knowledgeable others use various instructional strategies to help learners develop new skills and knowledge.1 As learners gain more knowledge and skill, the supports are faded.1,2 Recent research illuminates the importance of scaffolding during simulation engagement, showing it enhances explicit and subtle procedural knowledge skills,3,4 diagnostic competence,5,6 and observational skills.4 However, most descriptions of learner support during simulation engagement are referred to as facilitation, which focuses on ensuring a simulation is implemented according to plan and relies on prompting strategies (e.g., redirecting the learner, providing clinical data).7,8 This systematic review aimed to identify specific instruction or guidance strategies used to scaffold learners during simulation, who or what provided instruction and guidance, and for what reasons.
