Most people in the medical simulation world or even curriculum development world has heard or knows the “Kirkpatrick Model.” Over the years there has been modifications to this model by adding a 5th level to adapt it more toward business and the return on investment (ROI) courtesy of Phillips. Most simulation centers and programs meet … Continue reading How is Kirkpatrick Being Implemented
Even though Evaluation phase is the last phase in the ADDIE model, in reality, evaluation is taking place at all the phases. Evaluation is the constant sentinel to ensure the product and process are meaningful and effective. Evaluation in this phase looks at the entirety of the ADDIE model and compares them. For example, if … Continue reading Evaluation in ADDIE
The Need In any curriculum development, there has to be a reason that you are wanting to develop said curriculum in the first place. There has to be a need, whether it comes from you or from above you directing you; the analysis phase will ask the questions needed for for the whole process to … Continue reading Analysis in ADDIE – Part 1
Another popular curricular development approach commonly used within the medical community is a 6-step approach first developed by Dr. David Kern in 1998. He developed this model from numerous generic approaches set forth by McGaghie, Tyler, Taba, and others, who originally advocated linking curriculum to health care. While the center doesn’t specifically use this approach, … Continue reading Curriculum Development: Kern’s 6-step
Did you know… The Society for Simulation in Healthcare has published a Healthcare Simulation Dictionary? The Healthcare Simulation Dictionary features a collection of definitions showing how various terms—and their meanings— are being used in the profession today. Inside you’ll find straightforward definitions of 127 words and terms. Get your copy today! Click Here to Download … Continue reading Simulation Dictionary
If you ever want to evaluate your learning objectives, we put together this neat tool that assess the quality of the objectives. We’ve adapted this tool from C. Hodell to meet our needs. https://sites.uci.edu/medsim/files/2015/03/Quality-Rating-for-Objectives.pdf https://sites.uci.edu/medsim/files/2015/03/Quality-Rating-for-Objectives-Worksheet.pdf There is also a presentation in the Faculty Development Video Series about this topic. Check it out. https://sites.uci.edu/medsim/education/faculty-development/
In order to provide quality Medical Education scenarios for our learners, the staff at the Medical Education Simulation Center utilize a process when creating curriculum and scenarios that follows the ADDIE model closely. We do this to ensure standardization of development and ensure nothing is forgotten. More information on curriculum development can be found at: … Continue reading How We Develop Our Scenarios
We are often asked what model or framework that we use when we design curriculum…we use the ADDIE model. The ADDIE model is a very common model that curriculum designers use today. Elements: AnalysisDesignDevelopmentImplementationEvaluation The ADDIE model provides designers with the necessary structure for designing curriculum and scenarios, regardless of the variables involved. More information … Continue reading Using ADDIE for Simulation Design
