“…Nonetheless, the time span between the moment when relevant knowledge is required and when this knowledge becomes obsolete becomes shorter and shorter. Innovative, authentic ways of learning are required to facilitate learning at the workplace, and to update knowledge continuously (Thelen, Herr, Hees, & Jeschke, 2011). Research has shown that there is a huge gap between the knowledge that is needed at the workplace and the knowledge and skills derived from formal learning activities (Tynjalä, 2008).…”

This study introduces the concept of microgames to support situated learning in order to foster situational awareness (SA) of planners in seaport container terminals. In today's complex working environments, it is often difficult to develop the required level of understanding of a given situation, described as situational awareness. A container terminal represents an important, complex node in the multimodal transportation of goods. Many operations have to be planned in order to ensure a high performance of the whole system. To evaluate the relation between SA and planning task performance, the authors conducted tests with 142 participants. They evaluated the role of SA in integrated planning activities, and the playability and usefulness of the microgame. In conclusion, the authors can state that SA is very conducive to integrated planning tasks in container terminal operations. The microgame approach allows for an enjoyable game activity, while providing a meaningful situated learning experience towards SA.

“…Each Microtraining activity closes with a short reflection phase on what has been learned and what should be done or learned next (De Vries & Lukosch, 2009; Thelen et al, 2011). Within one Microtraining session, one specific problem can be addressed.…”

“…As the Microtraining approach is very flexible and can be customized to particular learning needs, it is important to specify the particular Microtraining intervention clearly (Thelen et al, 2011). The most important underlying theory for the Microtraining approach is the theory of social constructivism.…”

“…Today’s work environments are characterized by dynamics of change and increasing uncertainty (Thelen, Herr, Hees, & Jeschke, 2011). Such uncertainties are one characteristic of complex, socio-technical systems that involve both complex physical-technical systems and networks of interdependent actors (De Bruijn & Herder, 2009).…”

However, the transfer from what has been learned to the workplace seems to be difficult, and involves five stages as defined by Eraut (2004).…”

As the population ages, the number of patients with dementia in acute care environments is projected to increase rapidly. However, many acute care nurses have undertaken little or no dementia training, potentially leading to reduced quality of care for these patients. This article details the development and delivery of a tailored education program to improve thhequality of care of patients with dementia in a large, urban hospital in Australia. Designed specifically for the existing context, environment, and knowledge levels,--the program was developed from multiple inputs including expert opinion, literature on workplace and demenitia care training, and feedback from participants. The program was delivered to acute care nurses and allied health staff within an outcome-based, microteaching model. The development and delivery tecbuniques used in this program also are discussed.
