  This qualitative educational action research study aimed to gain knowledge about nursing students’ learning from participating in a developmental project that included human-like manikins. Twenty-three second-year Bachelor of Nursing students, one teacher, and one researcher participated in the study conducted at a Norwegian university. In collaboration, they planned and executed a developmental project with manikins in a nursing course. The project put manikins’ reflective, explorative, and experiential potentials into play. Two Action Research cycles were carried out. Data were collected using audio recordings, observations, and written responses. The concepts of sayings, doings, and relatings guided the analysis to identify how the modified learning conditions influenced and changed the students’ learning. The following four themes illustrate the students’ learning in the project: ownership of the learning process, collaborative learning, understanding theory’s significance for practice, and taking the patient’s perspective. The student’s participation in the project, including their independent use and exploration of the manikins, provided freedom and responsibility in decision-making, helped them experience problems, fostered creativity, and stimulated inner motivation. This moved their learning in a more practice-relevant direction.

  The purpose of this ethnographic study was to gain insight into the influence of full-body human-like manikins on nursing students’ learning. The research question that guided the study was: How do the presence and use of human-like manikins influence nursing students’ learning? Data were collected during 15 educational sessions, using different manikins for various activities. Applying cultural-historical activity theory, this study explored the use of manikins as a mediated activity. The study’s main result was the interplay of five categories. In the first category, manikin as an object, manikins were used to teach and learn technical skills. In the second category, manikin as a subject, manikins were used to teach and learn to perform those skills with care. The third category, the interplay, illustrates how these two approaches were present in all sessions. Category four, the individual learning space, provided students with a feeling of working with a patient. Category five, the collective learning space, awarded collaborative and reflexive learning opportunities. We concluded from this study that manikins may introduce students to the balance between the technical and interpersonal aspects of nursing practice. Being aware of how manikins influence learning, educators can make more targeted use of manikins and support lower-grade nursing students in their learning process and professional development.
