Deep Dive into Nursing Education topics using AI

Episode 19: Sentience and Experiential Learning - How it applies to Simulation-based Learning

Exciting new research alert! Recently read "Sentience and Experiential Learning: The Role of the Senses in Learning" by Stock, Cola, and Kolb (2025), which explores how our eight senses contribute to holistic learning experiences. This deep dive discusses findings, but also how this research applies to simulation-based learning. As healthcare education evolves, this research suggests we need to balance conceptual knowledge with perceptual experience. In healthcare simulations, this means consciously engaging with sensory details. The implications for creating more immersive learning environments are profound. By designing simulation spaces that optimize sensory engagement, we can foster deeper empathy, enhance presence, and build the foundation for clinical intuition.
