Digital learning has become a key component in nursing education, offering interactive, flexible, and engaging experiences. As healthcare practices continue to evolve, nurses face expanding roles and responsibilities, creating a growing need for innovative educational approaches that support evidence-based practices in both simulation and clinical settings. In this context, the implementation of innovative educational methodologies aligned with emerging technologies could enhance clinical competencies and interprofessional collaboration. The ClinicalModelling project aims to transform healthcare education through the use of video-modelling and self-modelling methodologies utilizing smart glasses technology. This project aims to design, test and scale up a telementoring and video-modelling approach to strengthen surgeons’, nurses’ and students’ competences in surgeries and other technical procedures. By recording successful task performances students can observe themselves executing skills effectively, fostering confidence, motivation, and reflective practice. As part of the University of Santiago de Compostela’s participation in the ClinicalModelling project, a pilot study was conducted with 10 nursing students. It consisted of six sessions in which the self-modelling methodology, supported by smart glasses, was implemented to enhance skill acquisition in two procedures: surgical hand hygiene and sterile glove technique. During this pilot, learner motivation and perceptions regarding the effectiveness of the learning materials were explored. To achieve this, the Instructional Material Motivational Survey (IMMS) was administered to assess learner motivation in terms of attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction with the use of smart glasses. Additionally, the Perception Questionnaire on Self-Modelling Methodology was used to explore students' perceptions of the learning materials’ effectiveness in promoting content retention, autonomous learning, and clinical application. A qualitative interview further enriched the findings by capturing students’ experiences and insights on the use of smart glasses and the potential of video self-modelling in nursing education. The pilot study's outcomes underscore the importance of integrating innovative educational technologies and technology-enhanced learning methodologies in nursing education. By fostering active, autonomous, and reflective learning processes, self-modelling with smart glasses offers a transformative approach aligned with the demands of contemporary healthcare education.
