Making a case for innovations in learning: Overcoming resistance in nursing education

Abstract

This will be part 3 of 3 sessions that explore game-based learning in nursing education. Whether game-based learning or another type of educational innovation, there can be resistance to change! In this session we will explore sources and types of resistance (e.g., faculty, students, leaders, boards of nursing), common reasons for resistance, and strategies for overcoming them. We will also introduce the concepts of evidence-based innovation and innovation science (applied to the educational innovation context). Finally, we will review essential competencies for leading innovation and making change stick in educational settings.
