Abstract

Background

Blended learning has become the “new normal” in higher education. Nursing education requires blended learning strategies to enhance learning outcomes.

Aim

To evaluate the effects of learning strategies on enhancing learning engagement, achievement and experience in the Fundamentals of Nursing course within blended learning environment.

Methods

A prepost design was conducted by a series of learning strategies based on the Community of Inquiry (CoI) theory framework. The strategies were applied to 114 vocational nursing students in China. The online strategies included “Case”, “Discuss”, “Like”, and “Mindmap”, while the offline strategies included “Scenario”, “Ask”, “Compare”, and “Feedback”. Data on learning engagement, end-of-semester exam scores, and learning experience scores were collected before and after the intervention.

Results

Compared to the prior semester, both online and offline learning engagement and end-semester exam scores improved significantly (P<0.05). Learning experience scores for cognitive presence, teaching presence, and social presence also increased significantly (P<0.05).

Conclusions

Learning strategies based on CoI of Blended learning can enhance learning engagement, learning achievement and the overall learning experience.

在中国混合学习环境下提高护理基础课程学习参与度的策略：一项事前研究

混合学习已成为高等教育的“新常态”。护理教育需要混合式学习策略来提高学习效果。目的评价混合学习环境下护理基础课程学习策略对提高学习参与度、成绩和经验的影响。方法采用基于探究共同体（CoI）理论框架的一系列学习策略进行前置语设计。对114名职业护理专业学生进行了问卷调查。在线策略包括“案例”、“讨论”、“喜欢”和“思维导图”，离线策略包括“场景”、“询问”、“比较”和“反馈”。在干预前后收集了学习参与度、期末考试分数和学习体验分数的数据。结果与上学期相比，线上线下学习参与度和期末考试成绩均有显著提高（P<0.05）。认知在场、教学在场和社会在场的学习经验得分也显著增加（P<0.05）。结论基于CoI的混合式学习策略可以提高学生的学习参与度、学习成果和整体学习体验。
