Didactic sequence for realistic simulation: double diamond method for teaching drug administration

Abstract

Realistic simulation is an effective pedagogical strategy that uses simulated scenarios and situations to promote practical and experiential learning in various areas of education, including medical and nursing education. For this reason, it is necessary to create a registration model to carry out realistic simulation in a standardized and systematized way. The aim of this study is to develop an interactive didactic sequence model based on the pedagogical hermeneutic circle applied to realistic simulations in the preparation and administration of medication. Results: The development of an interactive didactic sequence based on the Dialectical Hermeneutic Circle resulted in a complex instrument that guarantees the construction and reconstruction of reality, which is presented in a dialogical way through a constant back and forth between the students' successive interpretations and reinterpretations. The conclusion is that the interactive didactic sequence for realistic drug simulation guarantees continuous dialog between teachers and students, creating a more interactive learning environment where students are encouraged to express their doubts, opinions and challenges, which is fundamental for building knowledge.
