D J Lewis et al. J Contin Educ Nurs. 1989 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

Developing stimulating and innovative educational episodes poses a challenge to nurse educators. The technique of gaming is making a comeback on the educational scene as it facilitates internalization of concepts and promotes affective learning and the application of psychomotor skills. The theoretical use of gaming strategies, development, implementation, and applicability in staff development is discussed.
