“…The aim of this photobook was to facilitate nurses, and nursing students, to actively construct their own meaning of dementia from their previous experiences and beliefs. This underpinning constructivist pedagogy is already well established in higher education and is often associated with positive learning outcomes due to its ability to equip learners with authentic learning experiences which are directly relevant to individual context [62][63][64][65]. In this study, participants felt that professionals with expertise and knowledge about dementia were more likely to construct meaningful learning from the photobook than people with less knowledge.…”

Background Improving understanding about dementia in nursing is a priority area for educators and policymakers. This is due to poor professional understanding about dementia and suboptimal healthcare practice. While many educational interventions exist, there has been a paucity of research which has considered the use of artist-produced photobooks to improve knowledge and understanding about dementia. The aim of this study is to understand the impact of an artist-produced photobook on nurses’ attitudes and beliefs about dementia. Results Following a thematic analysis of four focus group interviews with 22 nurses and nursing students from Northern Ireland, three themes emerged. Theme one was about how the artist-produced photobook helped participants to humanise the person living with dementia. Theme two related to how the artist-produced photobook supported participants to actively construct their own meanings about dementia based on their previous professional and personal experiences. Theme three explored how an artist-produced photobook could be successfully used to complement existing dementia education in the future. Conclusions Using an artist-produced photobook was an innovative way to learn about dementia for nurses and nursing students. The photobook functioned as a tool underpinned by arts-based pedagogy (ABP), supporting nurses to understand the person behind the dementia disease. As such, an artist-produced photobook has the potential to be a useful complementary resource for supporting professional education about dementia.

“…Problem representation is the presentation of the stakeholders, environment, and elements of the problem explained in the context, from various aspects to the students. Podcasting, which can be used for observing these aspects, enables learners to learn fundamental conceptions, while; allowing learners to observe the relationship between these conceptions and real-life (Besser et al, 2021;Mitchell et al, 2021;Moryl, 2013). Concept maps, which are used as an environment for constructivist learning activities (Cañas et al, 2003), is a significant tool to reveal the meta-cognitive skills of learners (Brondfield et al, 2019;Marzano & Miranda, 2021;Novak, 1990;Shin & Jeong, 2021).…”

Design-based learning (DBL) enables 21st-century skills to be gained through design-oriented production processes. Jonassen's "Designing Constructivist Learning Environments framework" (CLEs) is a suitable model for designing a DBL environment. In such learning environments, students must have a certain level of information and communication technology (ICT) competencies in order to achieve learning goals. The aim of the study is to build on ICT competency areas that are likely to be used in each phase of CLEs and to develop a scale in order to assess the usage of these technologies by students. The study is of importance in terms of enabling teachers to evaluate learners and themselves technologically before education starts in such an environment. Literature review, expert opinion, and focus group interview were conducted to develop the scale. In order to determine the construct validity of the scale, principal component analysis was conducted for each technology competency area identified on the scale. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the Cronbach's alpha values of the subscales of the measuring tool were between 0.817 and 0.993. Cronbach's alpha values above 0.80 indicate that the scale is adequately valid and reliable (Cronbach & Meehl, 1956). In line with these results, the "Design-based learning environments technological competencies scale" is considered being a suitable tool for assessing the ICT competency of teachers and students before starting teaching in learning environments based on the constructivist approach.

Background Delirium is a common symptom of acute illness which is potentially avoidable with early recognition and intervention. Despite being a growing concern globally, delirium remains underdiagnosed and poorly reported, with limited understanding of effective delirium education for undergraduate health profession students. Digital resources could be an effective approach to improving professional knowledge of delirium, but studies utilising these with more than one profession are limited, and no evidence-based, interdisciplinary, digital delirium education resources are reported. This study aims to co-design and evaluate a digital resource for undergraduate health profession students across the island of Ireland to improve their ability to prevent, recognise, and manage delirium alongside interdisciplinary colleagues. Methods Utilising a logic model, three workstreams have been identified. Workstream 1 will comprise three phases: (1) a systematic review identifying the format, methods, and content of existing digital delirium education interventions for health profession students, and their effect on knowledge, self-efficacy, and behavioural change; (2) focus groups with health profession students to determine awareness and experiences of delirium care; and (3) a Delphi survey informed by findings from the systematic review, focus groups, and input from the research team and expert reference group to identify resource priorities. Workstream 2 will involve the co-design of the digital resource through workshops (n = 4) with key stakeholders, including health profession students, professionals, and individuals with lived experience of delirium. Lastly, Workstream 3 will involve a mixed methods evaluation of the digital resource. Outcomes include changes to delirium knowledge and self-efficacy towards delirium care, and health profession students experience of using the resource. Discussion Given the dearth of interdisciplinary educational resources on delirium for health profession students, a co-designed, interprofessional, digital education resource will be well-positioned to shape undergraduate delirium education. This research may enhance delirium education and the self-efficacy of future health professionals in providing delirium care, thereby improving practice and patients’ experiences and outcomes. Trial registration Not applicable.
