Guiding questions
Eliciting pre-reflective experience
What experiences did you have during exercise [x*]? Can you describe your experience of doing [x*]? What was your experience of using the equipment during the simulations? Could you describe those experiences further? How did you experience your own actions during the emergency situations? Reflecting on implications What in your experiences during the exercise surprised you? What do you think is the important lesson based on your experiences? What will you change in the future?
