Facilitated Video Case-Based Learning

The purpose of this exploratory single-case study was to explore whether an alternative teaching and learning solution, facilitated video case-based learning, was effective, efficient, and engaging for the development and application of higher order thinking skills in paramedic workplace learning. Through observation of participant behavior and thematic analysis of post-intervention interviews, the study sought to examine the influence of this learning approach on the development of higher order thinking skills.

​

The results of this study address teaching and learning solutions in paramedic education to overcome barriers that severely limit clinical simulation’s reach. The findings revealed that facilitated video case-based learning was not only perceived as highly engaging and relevant but also contributed meaningfully to knowledge acquisition and the development of higher order thinking skills. The results influence our understanding of paramedic learning and the development of higher order thinking skills and address policy and practice issues to make ongoing education more accessible, especially in resource-poor areas globally.
