Abstract

Blended learning is a relatively new e-learning method that combines traditional classroom learning with computer-mediated instruction. Its roots can be traced back to the 1840s when Sir Isaac Pitman sent tasks to his students on postcards for evaluation. It represents a new way of teaching, employing modern technologies and the online environment, whilst simultaneously emphasizing the importance of traditional teaching methods and personal contact between students and teachers. Blended learning has proven to be an effective way to combine scheduled and self-paced classwork, ensuring its better accessibility and flexibility. This article discusses the implementation and effectiveness of a blended-learning course designed to train communication skills in students studying healthcare-related programmes at the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences of the University of South Bohemia, Czech Republic. The course uses a combination of face-to-face instruction, individual student work, and multimedia online materials. It is divided into modules specific to the student's field of study, such as nursing, nutritional therapy, and civil protection. Each module includes theoretical and practical sections, and the course covers communication skills with seniors, adults, children, and disabled clients. A questionnaire survey was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the course and student satisfaction in order to obtain feedback for further development and improvement of the course. The data obtained from the survey were analysed using descriptive statistics and the Gini index. The results show that the blended-learning course was effective in training communication skills and reducing the number of failures.
Covid-19大流行期间卫生和社会护理专业人员高等教育中混合式学习的实施
混合式学习是一种相对较新的电子学习方法,它将传统的课堂学习与计算机辅助教学相结合。它的起源可以追溯到19世纪40年代,当时艾萨克·皮特曼爵士(Sir Isaac Pitman)把任务写在明信片上发给他的学生,让他们进行评估。它代表了一种新的教学方式,采用现代技术和在线环境,同时强调传统教学方法和学生与教师之间个人接触的重要性。混合式学习已被证明是一种有效的方式来结合计划和自定进度的课堂作业,确保其更好的可访问性和灵活性。本文讨论了在捷克共和国南波希米亚大学卫生和社会科学学院学习卫生保健相关课程的学生的沟通技巧培训混合学习课程的实施和有效性。该课程采用面对面教学、学生个人作业和多媒体在线材料相结合的方式。它根据学生的学习领域分为模块,如护理、营养治疗和民防。每个模块包括理论和实践部分,课程涵盖与老年人,成人,儿童和残疾客户的沟通技巧。通过问卷调查,评估课程的有效性和学生满意度,以获得反馈,以进一步发展和改进课程。从调查中获得的数据使用描述性统计和基尼指数进行了分析。结果表明,混合学习课程在培训沟通技巧和减少失败次数方面是有效的。
