q2 i? In the description phase, group remembering transforms private thoughts into a stable public representation, understood as a socially shared epistemic artifact rather than identical internal mental models. → Mads Solberg 2025

Mads Solberg, Charlott Sellberg. (2025). Debriefing as epistemic engineering: conversational remembering and socially distributed metacognition in healthcare simulation. Instructional Science (2026) 54:7. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-025-09760-5

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Cognitive-ethnographic analysis of one video-recorded nursing debriefing (Excerpts 1-2), an observational qualitative case study. The authors interpret the facilitator-guided reconstruction of the scenario timeline as a process where "This process turns private thoughts into publicly shared representations."

"Rather than viewing the recollection phase as an individual process aimed at creating identical internal models, conversational remembering is better understood as creating a functional, socially transmitted and communally shared epistemic artifact."
