Description

The article recommends structuring innovation content within orientation, nurse-residency and continuing-education programmes using the six BOPPPS stages: "begin with an authentic practice problem, state assessable objectives, identify learners' baseline needs, embed small‐group PBL in participatory learning, assess both learning and project quality, and close with guided reflection." This sequence offers novice learners a scaffolded transition from problem identification to solution design, combining the structure of BOPPPS with the exploration of PBL.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Explicit objectives and assessment checkpoints so novice learners know expectations, addressing PBL's demand for scaffolding

Constraints

  • Transferability depends on local cultural and organisational conditions; in settings with limited institutional innovation resources the model may need adaptation in workload, project scope or follow-up duration

Target Learners

  • Newly recruited nurses
  • Novice learners accustomed to teacher-centred education

Learning Goals

  • Creativity
  • Problem identification and collaborative solution design
  • Self-efficacy
