Summary
Trigger films actively engage nursing students in learning complex professional issues. This video method, unlike passive entertainment, stimulates discussion and yields overwhelmingly positive evaluations for nurse education.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Educational Technology
- Pedagogy
Background:
- Video is prevalent in nursing education, but often leads to passive learning.
- Traditional educational videos may entertain but fail to achieve desired learning outcomes.
- Active learning strategies are needed to enhance student engagement and knowledge acquisition.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the effectiveness of trigger films as an active learning tool in nursing education.
- To discuss the concept and application of trigger films for professional issue analysis.
- To evaluate student reception and learning outcomes from using a specifically produced trigger film.
Main Methods:
- Production of a short trigger film designed to stimulate and provoke learning.
- Implementation of the trigger film with nursing students (RN/Dip HE).
- Qualitative evaluation of student responses and perceived learning effectiveness.
Main Results:
- The trigger film effectively stimulated discussion and analysis of complex professional issues.
- Students reported overwhelmingly positive evaluations of the trigger film's educational value.
- This method proved particularly effective for learning within the Affective Domain.
Conclusions:
- Trigger films offer a valuable, active learning approach for nurse education.
- This innovative video strategy enhances student engagement and facilitates deeper understanding.
- Further exploration and application of trigger films in nursing pedagogy are recommended.
