Abstract:
Introduction: This discussion paper reviews and
synthesises the literature on simulated learning
environment (SLE) from allied health sciences, medical and
nursing in general and audiology specifically. The focus of
the paper is on discussing the use of high-fidelity (HF) SLE
and describing the challenges for developing a HF SLE for
clinical audiology training.
Methods: Through the review of the literature, this paper
discusses seven questions, (i) What is SLE? (ii) What are the
types of SLEs? (iii) How is SLE classified? (iv) What is HF
SLE? (v) What types of SLEs are available in audiology and
their level of fidelity? (vi) What are the components needed
for developing HF SLE? (vii) What are the possible types of
HF SLEs that are suitable for audiology training?
Publications were identified by structured searches from
three major databases PubMed, Web of Knowledge and
PsychInfo and from the reference lists of relevant articles.
The authors discussed and mapped the levels of fidelity of
SLE audiology training modules from the literature and the
learning domains involved in the clinical audiology courses.
Results: The discussion paper has highlighted that most of
the existing SLE audiology training modules consist of
either low- or medium-fidelity types of simulators. Those
components needed to achieve a HF SLE for audiology
training are also highlighted.
Conclusion: Overall, this review recommends that the
combined approach of different levels and types of SLE
could be used to obtain a HF SLE training module in
audiology training.
