Student-Centered Reflection in Debriefing: A Concept Analysis

Background: Reflection is an essential. Learning component of debriefing; however, the rote of student reflection during debriefing remains unclear. Method: The Walker and Avant (2011) method was used in this concept analysis of student-centered reflection in debriefing after simulation. Results: The concept attributes were (a) intentional., cyclic, metacognitive examination of knowledge, skills, and attitudes, (b) dialogue and feedback with facilitator and peers gaining different perspectives, (c) an introspective, sense-making process, and (d) cognitive adjustment occurring after the simulation. Conclusions: This concept analysis highlights student-centeredness, an important phenomenon in a debriefing that brings forth our ability to include the student in debriefing in a new way.
