Abstract
Background
Traditional approaches to teaching intravenous cannulation remain largely teacher-centered and may fail to promote higher-order cognitive development. Marzano’s taxonomy offers a structured framework that supports progression from basic retrieval to knowledge application, yet its use in clinical nursing education is limited.
Aims
This study evaluated the effectiveness of integrating Marzano’s taxonomy into intravenous cannulation training to improve nursing students’ knowledge, skills, core competence, and satisfaction.
Methods
This research constitutes a quasi-experimental investigation. Fifty undergraduate nursing students undertaking clinical internships in a tertiary hospital were allocated into a control group receiving conventional teaching and an intervention group receiving taxonomy-guided training. Outcomes included theoretical knowledge, practical performance, core competence, and internship satisfaction. Data were analyzed using paired and independent-sample t-tests.
Results
The intervention group achieved significantly higher theoretical knowledge scores, practical performance scores, and core competence, as well as greater satisfaction across all domains (p < 0.001).
Conclusion
Marzano’s taxonomy provides a structured instructional framework that effectively strengthens nursing students’ cognitive development, clinical performance, and engagement in skills training. This approach may be applied to other areas of clinical nursing education.
