Emerging discourses shaping high-fidelity simulation as an education platform in Aotearoa New Zealand pre-registration nursing education: A Foucauldian discourse analysis. Doctoral thesis, Auckland University of Technology, Auckland. Retrieved May 16, 2024, from http://hdl.handle.net/10292/14962
Abstract: Asserts that nursing needs to think critically about High-fidelity simulation (HFS) use, and its dominance, in the educational preparation of nurses. Draws on the tenets of postmodernism and Foucauldian discourse analysis methodology to question the discourses and discursive practices that influence the use of HFS as an approach to intentional and unintentional teaching and learning in pre-registration nursing education in NZ.
