,EMERGING TECHNOLOGY CURRICULUM PROPOSAL 2
Executive Summary
As technology evolves, there are new ways to facilitate learning and meet individual
needs and learning styles. The use of technology has transformed the way teachers teach and
learners learn and ultimately influences how nurses’ practice. To use these resources effectively,
instructors must integrate technologies into the nursing curriculum based on evidence-based
educational principles and best practices, as well as address issues such as cost, access, and
student outcomes. Academic institutions must support and adopt technologies that will
challenge students to be critical thinkers, problem-solvers, and lifelong learners.
To successfully integrate these competencies into “The Role of the BSN Nurse in
Promoting Community Health” course, a literature review was conducted on the use of
technology in education. Academic stakeholders were identified as crucial to this proposal. A
needs assessment was performed to evaluate the current environment. Based on the needs gap
analysis and the input of stakeholders, the current curriculum lacked active learner participation
and critical action-based learning to maximize the development of affective, cognitive, and
psychomotor skills in students, crucial proficiencies for safe nursing practice.
This proposal recommends the implementation of Virtual Simulation as an active learning
method to maximize the development of clinical judgment, critical thinking, and decision-
making skills in a safe and controlled environment. The development of these crucial nursing
competencies ultimately contributes toward reducing clinical errors and improving the safety and
quality of health care, leading to positive patient outcomes.
Excluding this technology in this nursing curriculum creates an enormous gap as this
academic institution does not have the educational environment that supports the development of
these essential clinical competencies in the next generation of care providers.

Emerging Technology Curriculum Proposal
The use of technology has expanded the opportunities for instructors to shift from merely
transmitting information to passive learners and instead engage learners to become active
participants. As technology evolves, there are new ways to facilitate learning and meet
individual needs and learning styles.
To successfully integrate critical nursing competencies into “The Role of the BSN Nurse
in Promoting Community Health” course, a literature review was conducted on the use of
technology in education. Academic stakeholders were identified as crucial to this proposal and a
needs assessment was performed to evaluate the current environment. Based on the needs gap
analysis and the input of stakeholders, it was determined that the current curriculum lacked
active learner participation and critical action-based learning to maximize the development of
affective, cognitive, and psychomotor skills in students, crucial proficiencies for safe nursing
practice.
A force field analysis was completed to identify forces for and against this curriculum
technology proposal. Internal and external organizational factors that could facilitate or impede
the integration of the proposed technology were assessed. Potential barriers and resistance were
analyzed, and Lewin’s Change theory was the theoretical framework chosen to overcome these
challenges and for the integration and adoption of this emerging technology.
The purpose of this proposal is to recommend an emerging technology, virtual
simulation, as an active learning method to teach clinical judgment, critical thinking, and
decision-making skills in a safe and controlled environment, and to integrate this technology in
“The Role of the BSN Nurse in Promoting Community Health” course. The rationale of this
proposal is to support the development of clinical competencies in the next generation of care

providers and contribute to the safety and quality of patient care by using virtual simulation as an
effective pedagogical strategy in the current educational environment.

Summary of Sources
Teaching methods to facilitate learning in nursing education has come a long way from
the traditional in-person lecture methods. The use of technology has expanded the opportunities
for instructors to shift from merely transmitting information to passive learners and instead
engage learners to become active participants. As technology evolves, there are new ways to
facilitate learning and meet individual needs and learning styles.
An emerging technology in nursing education is the use of virtual simulation, which is
used as an active learning method to teach clinical judgment, critical thinking, and decision-
making skills in a safe and controlled environment. Virtual simulation has also been shown to
increase learner interaction and feedback, which raises the perception of self-efficacy and
satisfaction levels (Bastable, 2019). As Padilha, Machado, Ribeiro, Ramos, & Costa (2019)
found in their study, by incorporating problem-based learning in an interactive and dynamic
environment like virtual simulation, there is an improvement in clinical reasoning, knowledge
retention, and an increase in satisfaction with the learning experience among nursing students.
virtual simulation combines active learner participation and critical action-based learning, which
maximizes the development of affective, cognitive, and psychomotor skills in students.
To maximize clinical judgment, critical thinking, and decision-making skills, students
must have the opportunity to deliberately practice and improve these skills. Virtual simulation
