Abstract
Aim: To examine the applicability of Scenario-based- learning (SBL) in undergraduate nurse education in Edinburg UK. Method: In this paper the value of an SBL approach to teaching is evaluated in 1st year undergraduate nursing students. Both teaching staff and students used a validated evaluation proforma simultaneously to appraise the teaching programme. This evaluation was continous throughout a full academic year. Results: Initial consensus of both staff and students was favourable towards SBL. SBL was deemed a very positive approach to teaching for neophyte undergraduate nursing students. Evaluation led to minor modifications in terms of timing of specific scenarios within thw curruculum. Conclusion: Scenario based learning has been a valuable teaching tool within the school, from the perspective of both staff and students. Paragraph Headings: 1. Introduction 2. Method 2.1.
