Durable Learning (Nursing)

by Peter Horneffer, MD, Barbara Oakley, PhD, PE

Learning science encompasses research from both cognitive science and neuroscience to describe the process of durable learning. Just as the practice of medicine is supported by evidence (evidence-based medicine, or EBM), medical and nursing education should also be based on solid research and evidence (evidence based medical education, or EBME) in order for learners to effectively retain information: in other words, to experience durable learning.

Medical and health professionals must learn and retain an ever-increasing amount of knowledge over the course of their education, and using EBME can benefit both learners and teachers.

Learning science can be studied at any point in a teacher or learner’s career or education and remains accessible and beneficial at any point. Previous mastery of neuroscience or cognitive science is not required.

Basic knowledge of learning science allows teachers and learners to apply effective durable learning strategies simultaneously with other health professions courses.
