How Simulation Escape
Rooms Can Make Learning Stick
Over the past few years,escape rooms已成为越来越受欢迎的教育和培训工具。逃生室最初用作有趣的社交活动，现在被用作推动学习的手段。全球公共逃生室的数量从2010年开始时的零增加到今天的至少2,800。1而且，随着公众继续推动这个新的娱乐业，教育工作者的兴趣也受到了兴趣。
教育者早就知道互动team dynamics in the classroom can lead to stronger learning outcomes. In recent years, however, game-based learning has become much more prominent - particularly in higher education and in the healthcare industry.
Many escape rooms include elements of simulation and, for this reason, simulation training programs offer the perfect environment to leverage this training method.
In this article, we explain what simulation escape rooms are and how they can effectively make learning stick.
什么是模拟逃生室？
逃生室是冒险活动，允许参与者与小组合作解决隐藏的难题锁定in the same room.2
A simulation escape room for healthcare providers or providers-in-training follows a similar structure, butwith the intent to improve clinical knowledge and teamwork skills. Typically, a patient case is woven into the narrative of the escape room to allow for more realism and also hands-on skills practice.
在这种情况下，医疗保健提供者必须共同努力，找到线索和解决难题，以测试他们对临床主题的理解，最终节省病人.
Sim逃生室的关键原则
Simulation escape rooms can vary greatly in how they are designed, but there are key principles required to make any escape room successful. These are just a few:
一个故事
The most successful escape rooms suspend disbelief by providing a clinical theme and a patient case as the backdrop to all the puzzle pieces. The simple use of a storyline energizes the experience and encourages learners to take their roles seriously.
一个现实的环境
Using a realistic clinical environment further enhances the story, but it also reinforces safe patient care behaviors. Setting the escape room in an in situ environment or in a realistic simulation lab gives learners the opportunity to see, feel, and manage patient safety risks.
A Time Limit
All escape rooms have a time limit. The time an organization allots is usually between 15 and 60 minutes depending on the learning objectives and number of puzzles.
An Appropriate Level of Difficulty
尽管逃生室打算变得有趣和挑战，但他们绝不应该如此困难，以至于学习者无法“获胜”。难题应测试学习者已经引入的概念。
完成后的汇报
As with any simulation experience, debriefing is essential. Learners benefit from reflecting on the experience, explaining their decisions and actions, discussing what went right and wrong, and asking each other questions.
How Can a Simulation Escape Room Improve Learning Outcomes?
研究表明，逃生室被学习者和教育者都被积极地视为一种吸引人的学习策略。3Put another way, escape rooms are fun. And, fun is exactly what many educators and trainers are looking for!
逃生室方法论支持许多最广泛接受的学习理论，包括Dee Fink的大量学习分类法。
提供互动性，发人深省的动手体验，模拟逃生室解决了Fink讨论的学习的六个方面：4
- Foundational knowledge- 理解和记住信息
- Application- 发展批判性，创造性或实践思维能力
- 一体化– Making connections between the learned material and real-life
- Human dimension- 了解自己或他人
- Caring- 发展新的感受，兴趣或价值观
- 学习如何学习– Become self-directed learners and asking more questions
Simulation escape rooms combine many best practices in adult education, and as a result they boast a multitude of benefits ranging from increased retention to improved patient-centered care.
