Implementation of a lesson plan model in the nursing laboratory: strengthening learning

Area of Science:

• Nursing Education
• Skills Training
• Pedagogical Models

Background:

• Undergraduate nursing education requires effective skills training.
• Traditional methods may not fully optimize laboratory learning experiences.
• A structured approach to lesson planning can enhance practical skill acquisition.

Purpose of the Study:

• To describe the implementation of a lesson plan model for nursing skills training.
• To evaluate the model's utility as a learning tool for undergraduate nursing students.
• To document the experience of integrating a structured pedagogical approach in a nursing laboratory setting.

Main Methods:

• An experience report detailing the implementation of a structured lesson plan model.
• Activities conducted in a nursing laboratory at a public university in southern Brazil.
• The implementation process spanned from May 2018 to April 2019.

Main Results:

• The implementation involved distinct stages: literature review, process design, task allocation, validation, pilot testing, refinement, dissemination, and utilization.
• A strengthened collaboration emerged between faculty and laboratory staff in class planning and management.
• Logistical organization of materials and simulators within the laboratory showed significant improvement.

Conclusions:

• The adoption of lesson plans significantly contributed to enhancing the quality of the teaching and learning process for both students and educators.
• This structured approach provides a valuable framework for skills development in nursing education.
• The experience highlights the benefits of systematic planning in practical nursing training environments.
