Abstract |
According to Collins (1988), the perspective taken by advocates of the situated learning model, as a basis for instruction, is that knowledge and skills should be acquired in contexts that reflect the ways in which that knowledge will be useful in a real life situation. This case study examines the use of a situated learning framework for the design of an interactive multimedia program on medication administration for nursing students. The key aspects of this framework which could be incorporated into the multimedia design were: (1) authentic contexts that reflect the way knowledge is used in real life; (2) authentic activities which learners would engage in during their career roles; (3) access to expert performance and modelling of the processes involved; and (4) opportunities for students to reflect on their learning. The outcomes of the project are briefly discussed.
