There is a lack of research examining the factors which promote or hinder successful small group clinical practicum reflection seminars. The aim of this study was to explore key elements of successful small group reflection. Narrative inquiry was used as methodology. Three students consented to voluntarily participate in this study by learning on their experiences – both successful and unsuccessful – during their clinical reflection seminars. A 3-circle model was presented as a collective narrative. The Support Circle represents a safe and supportive environment where the reflection seminar is held. The Owner Circle represents the students’ ownership in a reflection seminar. The Service Circle represents the educators’ professional teaching services. To conclude, elements of a successful small group reflection included a safe leaning environment, a student-centered approach, and professional educator support. Within a safe learning environment, a successful small group reflection seminar should be owned by students and facilitated by a professional educator.

This phenomenological study sought to understand the meaning of multicultural collaboration in a Chilean English as a Foreign Language class purposefully selected because of its high percentage of students from different cultural backgrounds. Through participant observation and in-depth interviews, the essence of the phenomenon was identified. Findings revealed that the students’ and the teacher’s positive attitudes towards multiculturalism, along with their respect and acceptance for diversity, propitiated a healthy and safe learning environment that made multicultural collaboration possible. Future studies should explore how these conditions may be replicated in other multicultural educational scenarios.

Abstract Background To develop effective and sustainable simulation training programs in low-resource settings, it is critical that facilitators are thoroughly trained in debriefing, a critical component of simulation learning. However, large knowledge gaps exist regarding the best way to train and evaluate debrief facilitators in low-resource settings. Methods Using a mixed methods approach, this study explored the feasibility of evaluating the debriefing skills of nurse mentors in Bihar, India. Videos of obstetric and neonatal post-simulation debriefs were assessed using two known tools: the Center for Advanced Pediatric and Perinatal Education (CAPE) tool and Debriefing Assessment for Simulation in Healthcare (DASH). Video data was used to evaluate interrater reliability and changes in debriefing performance over time. Additionally, twenty semi-structured interviews with nurse mentors explored perceived barriers and enablers of debriefing in Bihar. Results A total of 73 debriefing videos, averaging 18 min each, were analyzed by two raters. The CAPE tool demonstrated higher interrater reliability than the DASH; 13 of 16 CAPE indicators and two of six DASH indicators were judged reliable (ICC > 0.6 or kappa > 0.40). All indicators remained stable or improved over time. The number of ‘instructors questions,’ the amount of ‘trainee responses,’ and the ability to ‘organize the debrief’ improved significantly over time (p < 0.01, p < 0.01, p = 0.04). Barriers included fear of making mistakes, time constraints, and technical challenges. Enablers included creating a safe learning environment, using contextually appropriate debriefing strategies, and team building. Overall, nurse mentors believed that debriefing was a vital aspect of simulation-based training. Conclusion Simulation debriefing and evaluation was feasible among nurse mentors in Bihar. Results demonstrated that the CAPE demonstrated higher interrater reliability than the DASH and that nurse mentors were able to maintain or improve their debriefing skills overtime. Further, debriefing was considered to be critical to the success of the simulation training. However, fear of making mistakes and logistical challenges must be addressed to maximize learning. Teamwork, adaptability, and building a safe learning environment enhanced the quality enhanced the quality of simulation-based training, which could ultimately help to improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes in Bihar.

The need for parental involvement in developing effective programs for children with disabilities is highlighted in the conceptual and research literature as well as in the legislation and policies of a number of countries. The present study was undertaken to investigate the curricular skills valued by parents of children with moderate to severe/profound intellectual disabilities attending Special Developmental Schools in Victoria, Australia. The study examined whether a significant relationship existed between selected background factors and the value parents placed on particular curricular skills. In addition, the study attempted to identify the percentage of a typical school week that parents felt should be spent on particular skills within the educational programs offered to their children.

This article describes the Context Based Learning (CBL) redesign of Nursing courses addressing life transitions, including by implementing group discussion, written concept analysis, group presentations, reflections on thinking and simulation performance, group skills analysis and a final paper.  The purpose of the study was to determine how these strategies build metacognition and thinking in the students. Both students and faculty participants agreed the structure of the courses stimulated thinking and metacognition, especially through group discussion of the presentations based on the concept analysis. Students said listening and a safe learning environment helped them think and reflect. However, the larger the group and the more faculty controlled the group, the less thinking developed. This study provides insights into the importance of a safe learning environment, listening, group size and faculty control in the development of thinking and self-reflection in small group CBL format that may be applicable to many disciplines.   Dans cet article, nous examinons la refonte, axée sur l’apprentissage fondé sur le contenu, des cours en soins infirmiers portant sur les transitions de la vie. Cette refonte comprend la mise en place de la discussion de groupe, de l’analyse de concepts à l’écrit, de présentations de groupe, de réflexions sur la pensée et de simulations, d’analyses de compétence en groupe et d’un travail final. L’étude visait à déterminer de quelle manière ces stratégies permettent de bâtir des capacités de pensée et de métacognition chez les étudiants. Les participants à l’étude, qu’ils soient étudiants ou enseignants, ont reconnu que la structure des cours avait eu pour effet de mobiliser la pensée et la métacognition, tout particulièrement lors des discussions de groupe portant sur les présentations fondées sur l’analyse des concepts. Les étudiants ont dit que l’écoute ainsi qu’un milieu d’apprentissage sûr les ont aidés à penser et à réfléchir. Toutefois, plus le nombre d’étudiants était élevé et plus les enseignants exerçaient un contrôle sur le groupe, moins la pensée trouvait à s’épanouir. Notre étude permet de mesurer l’importance d’un milieu d’apprentissage sûr, de l’écoute, de la taille du groupe et du contrôle exercé par l’enseignant dans le développement de la pensée et de l’autoréflexion dans le contexte de l’apprentissage fondé sur le contenu en petits groupes. Ces résultats pourraient s’appliquer à beaucoup d’autres disciplines.

The 2016 Presidential Election brought debate about wall building, deportation for undocumented families, and registering for Muslim Americans. A Trump presidency means that many of our ESOL families are concerned about their security in our communities. Families are talking about this at home, and children are talking at school. Students are repeating insensitive things they have heard at home or on television. For our students who are already fearful that their families will be separated or that they will have to register because of their religion, hearing their peers support those ideas can feel intimidating. How can teachers provide a safe learning environment that respects all learners? Suggestions are presented for maintaining an intimidation-free classroom and encouraging respectful discourse in order to promote optimal learning opportunities.
