Description¶
The investigated debriefings were organized around "a specific model for debriefing" with "three main phases: description, analysis, and application". Description begins with a 'blow out' in which each participant names one prominent feeling, followed by factual description of the scenario; the analysis phase, the most extensive part, is devoted to joint discussion and analysis of students' conduct; application involves students summarizing what they learned. Video clips of key events were introduced within the analysis phase.
Design Implications¶
Context¶
Requirements¶
- A facilitator guides the phases; the analysis phase hosts the displayed key-event video clips
- Participating students and observing students who watched via live video
Constraints¶
- Discussions focused primarily on what worked well and what could be improved rather than on what had not gone well
Target Learners¶
- medical and nursing students in the final phase of their educational programs
Learning Goals¶
- interprofessional teamwork, communication and non-technical skills such as SBAR, speak up and closed loop communication
Claims¶
Related Designs¶
- DCog model of debriefing as a coordination device for conversational remembering and distributed metacognition
- The briefing–scenario–debriefing (BSD) cycle as a design scaffold for distributing guidance, feedback, and representational work over time
