Intro: Recent research has shown that novice nurses are not meeting the minimum competencies required of a graduate nurse. Therefore, nursing programs are taking a closer look at pedagogical strategies and how to prepare new nurses. In particular, modeling is a strategy in which an expert demonstrates a nursing competency, which the students can then repeat. In nursing education, observational learning through modeling has been shown to enhance engagement by providing students the ability to watch and cognitively rehearse professional behaviors. Research Question: This systematic review was conducted to determine the types of modeling present in undergraduate nursing education today, how nursing programs are utilizing this strategy, and how using this can improve current nursing education.
