Research Interests:
Steve's research interests focus on enhancing learning and teaching through simulation approaches informed by learning theory. Steve's PhD explored the ways in which simulations designed according to Communities of Practice facilitated nursing students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to participate during the clinical placement in Australia.
Other research interests include designing simulation programs to supplement and substitute clinical placement, innovative approaches to curriculum design and designing learning and teaching activities to enhance clinical reasoning.
