Abstract

Math anxiety self -efficacy concrete support
Lego as a Phenomena: Using Lego as a phenomenon, is an interesting creative pedagogical concept and can be developed as a teaching and learning task. Interpretive phenomenology can be further used as a framework to understand Math anxiety and also developed as an innovative and engaging approach. This is a useful tool to use when developing educational staff. Math anxiety refers to undergraduate nurses and their fear of being able to use applied math's in their medicine management examination. By relating this concept to Lego, we can support educators to grasp the essential elements of learners experiencing math anxiety more concretely. Workshop: The Lego workshop will begin with an interactive exploration of math anxiety, and its perceptions from a staff perspective. This is followed by a visionary Lego activity to understand how alleviating math anxiety in undergraduate nurses informs good teaching and learning practices to achieve expected learning outcomes. A further exploration of digital resources will be presented to enhance the use of a digital platform to increase the development of thinking using a dilemma approach to learning. To ensure our pedagogical practices are evidence based and research informed, the workshop will encourage attendees to reflect on their beliefs and practices to inform medicine management competency for undergraduate nurses and other health professionals, with an international perspective on competence and patient safety.
