Abstract

Background: Technological advances have provided alternatives to traditional handwritten note taking that are changing the classroom learning environment in higher education for nursing students.Aims: The purpose of this study was to explore nursing student attitudes and preferences for note taking and the relationship of note taking methods on academic performance. Design: The mixed method approaches collected data from 217 nursing students in a baccalaureate program of study in spring and fall of 2017.Methods: Nursing students at the junior and senior level in the academic program voluntarily participated by completing a survey using a Likert-type scale and open-ended questions.Findings: The majority of students (69.3%) reported taking notes by electronic methods. No significant difference was found between the method of note taking and GPA (p = .139).Conclusions: Findings suggest that multiple variables influence learning in the classroom environment and note taking method has little impact on academic performance. Impact Statement: Educators should consider this finding when implementing policies on classroom electronics, including note taking. Understanding that the preferred method of note taking whether handwritten or electronic has little impact on overall academic performance should inform evidence based teaching and learning.

电子笔记技术与护理学生学习成绩的关系。
背景:技术进步为传统的手写笔记提供了替代方案,正在改变高等教育护理学生的课堂学习环境。目的:本研究旨在探讨护生对笔记的态度和偏好,以及笔记方式与学业成绩的关系。设计:采用混合方法收集2017年春季和秋季217名本科护理专业学生的数据。方法:采用李克特式问卷和开放式问卷调查方式,对专科大三、大四护理学生进行自愿参与。调查结果:绝大多数学生(69.3%)报告使用电子方法做笔记。记录方法与GPA无显著差异(p = 0.139)。结论:研究结果表明,课堂环境中多变量影响学习,笔记方法对学习成绩影响不大。影响陈述:教育工作者在实施课堂电子设备政策时应考虑这一发现,包括记笔记。了解首选的笔记方法,无论是手写的还是电子的,对整体学习成绩的影响很小,应该为基于证据的教学和学习提供信息。
