RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Undergraduate nursing education consists of supporting students' learning about psychomotor skills. There is variation in strategies used to facilitate learning in the lab setting because there is no single accepted or preferred educational approach. METHOD: Formative learning strategies were integrated into lab courses throughout a nursing curriculum for undergraduate students at a Canadian university. These strategies included developing and implementing guidelines, a rubric, and an addendum. RESULTS: Students enrolled in lab courses that used these strategies received ongoing verbal and written feedback from their instructor and were provided with an opportunity to engage in reflective practice and refine clinical judgment skills. CONCLUSION: Using consistent and effective formative strategies to support students' learning in the lab requires further empirical exploration and consideration. [J Nurs Educ. 2024;63(X):XXX-XXX.].
