The student evaluation of a Research-informed Teaching activity using simulation

Higgins, Robert

Abstract

Our Research-informed Teaching experience (RiTe) activity has been embedded within the Diagnostic Radiography curriculum since 2013 as part of a Level 5 (Year 2) Research Methods module. Outcomes are linked to research skill development and self-efficacy (Higgins et al., 2014).

We recently opened our new Medical Imaging Centre for teaching, learning and research. The Centre includes two clinical X-ray rooms. One of these rooms has been designed to be dementia-friendly for patient experience research in this area. This also offered a new research-informed teaching activity with RiTe for students to plan and undertake a small research project where they designed a survey tool, to collect and analyse data that compared these two X-ray rooms. As part of the data collection, students wore dementia simulation equipment to experience each room from the point of view of a person living with dementia and rate their experiences for comparison .

The aim of this study was to evaluate this new iteration of RiTe using simulation with a Year 2 (Level 5) BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Radiography cohort
