What's the headline on your mind right now? How reflection guides simulation-based faculty development in a master

Introduction:
The demand for highly skilled simulation-based healthcare educators (SBEs) is growing. SBEs charged with developing other SBEs need to be able to model and conduct high-quality feedback conversations and 'debrief the debriefing'. Direct, non-threatening feedback is one of the strongest predictors of improved performance in health professions education. However, it is a difficult skill to develop. Developing SBEs who can coach and support other SBEs is an important part of the faculty development pipeline. Yet we know little about how they get better at skilled feedback and the ability to reflect on it. There is scant evidence about their thoughts, feelings and dilemmas about this advanced learning process. To address this gap, we examined advanced SBE's subjective experience as they grappled with challenges in a 4-day advanced SBE course. Their reflections will help target faculty development efforts.
Methods:
Using a repeated, identical free-writing task, we asked "What is the headline for what is on your mind right now?"
Results:
A five-theme mosaic of self-guiding reflections emerged: (1) metacognitions about one's learning process, (2) evaluations of sessions or tools, (3) notes to self, (4) anticipations of applying the new skills in the future, and (5) tolerating the tension between pleasant and unpleasant emotions.
Conclusions:
The results extend simulation-based education science by advocating the motivational role of noting inconsistencies between one's intention and impact and the central role of self-regulation, emotion, and experiencing feedback and debriefing from multiple perspectives for improving advanced skills of SBEs. Recommendations for faculty development are discussed.

Steps in the Modeling Process
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...
