Abstract

The use of simulation in nursing education has become commonplace as a method of instruction and evaluation, but the theoretical basis requires further exploration. Mezirow's Transformative Learning Theory (TLT) is an adult learning theory that offers one explanation of the process by which nursing students' worldviews are transformed through simulation.

Application of Mezirow's Transformative Learning Theory to Simulation in Nursing Education

Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
