Bedingungen der Lernortkooperation und des Theorie-Praxis-Transfers in der Pflegeausbildung – ein empirischer Beitrag aus dem Projekt „ViRDiPA“

Increasing the quality and attractiveness of nursing education can help counteract the problem of nursing shortage. The project „ViRDiPA“ aims to reach these goals by implementing a program for advanced training. In order to analyze needs and conditions, expert and group interviews were conducted. The nursing-related results and implications are presented in this paper. Consistent with the literature, the interview participants report a need for improvement in the areas of learning-site-cooperation, theory-practice-transfer, and „Lernaufgaben“. Therefore, the core element of the training is cooperation between different groups of educational personnel in the creation and collaborative implementation of virtual reality (VR)-„Lernaufgaben“. This way, „Lernaufgaben“ can be created that are oriented to scientific findings and relevant to practice. In combination with the use of VR-technology they will contribute to the improvement of theory-practice-transfer and learning site cooperation, in order to improve nursing training and make the profession more attractive.
