TLDR
In this paper, the authors examined the role of feedback in student learning using a simulation-based learning activity aimed at developing holistic competence in the classroom to prepare students for field learning and identified four themes that described the impact of feedback on student learning: feedback enhanced knowledge, feedback improved skills, feedback developed professional judgment, and feedback increased self-reflection.Abstract:
Feedback is an important mechanism that enhances student learning in supervision and field education. Constructive feedback that is specific, timely, and based on observations; bridges theory and practice, enhances self-awareness, and builds holistic competence in social work students. There is scant social work research examining how this teaching mechanism facilitates student learning. In this qualitative study we examined the role of feedback in student learning using a simulation-based learning activity aimed at developing holistic competence in the classroom to prepare students for field learning. The study examined the impact of feedback on student learning and the key elements that facilitated learning related to feedback. We identified four themes that described the impact of feedback on student learning: (1) feedback enhanced knowledge, (2) feedback improved skills, (3) feedback developed professional judgment, and (4) feedback increased self-reflection. The processes influencing the impact of feedback were the source of the feedback, type of feedback given, and delivery of feedback. The results deepen our understanding of feedback as a learning mechanism with implications for field education.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that expert and exceptional performance are mediated by cognitive and perceptual-motor skills and by domain-specific physiological and anatomical adaptations, and that the highest levels of human performance in different domains can only be attained after around ten years of extended, daily amounts of deliberate practice activities.

Simulation in Social Work Education: A Scoping Review:
TL;DR: A scoping review that synthesized empirical studies on simulation in social work (SW) education identified several facilitators and barriers to using simulation effectively for teaching and assessment and identified emerging best practices that can be used to guide teaching.
A concept analysis of simulation as a learning strategy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed understanding and defined the concept of simulated learning as a strategy used in the education of undergraduate nursing students and identified antecedents, critical attributes and consequences as a basis to stimulate further research, development and understanding.

TL;DR: The amount of time spent targeted at improving therapeutic skills was a significant predictor of client outcomes, and highly effective therapists indicated requiring more effort in reviewing therapy recordings alone than did the rest of the cohort.

Enhancing professional competence through developmental approaches to supervision.
TL;DR: It is argued that the most detailed of these theories, the Integrated Developmental Model, provides a useful framework for understanding how supervisees change over time and how various supervision environments and supervision interventions can enhance or detract from the development of professional competencies.
