Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Medical ecology is a highly uncertain and high-pressure environment. Nurses must use their thinking to make critical judgments and decisions in a short time. Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic, many universities have produced a lot of innovative inf teaching styles. With the reduction of budget and the evaluation of teaching quality, the blended learning model is gradually being valued by educators.

The aims of this study are to establish a teaching model that applies blended learning and problem-oriented teaching, and to explore the association and effectiveness of critical thinking and ethical competence of research subjects after this intervention in which shortens the gap in learning and practicing for increasing clinical nursing capabilities.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Medical ecology is a highly uncertain and high-pressure environment. Nurses must use their thinking to make critical judgments and decisions in a short time. Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic, many universities have produced a lot of innovative inf teaching styles. With the reduction of budget and the evaluation of teaching quality, the blended learning model is gradually being valued by educators.

The aims of this study are to establish a teaching model that applies blended learning and problem-oriented teaching, and to explore the association and effectiveness of critical thinking and ethical competence of research subjects after this intervention in which shortens the gap in learning and practicing for increasing clinical nursing capabilities.

After the implementation of this protocol, the participants would increase the critical thinking and ethical competence of nursing students in geriatric nursing. Also, the teacher can self-review the teaching effect and analyze the actual situation of the students in the construction of ethical competency as a teaching reference to improve or revise teaching strategies.

The protocol of blended and problem-based learning

The experimental group will accept the protocol of blended and problem-based learning in the professional ethics course, 2 hours /per week, for 18 weeks

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

The protocol of blended and problem-based learning

Intervention Type OTHER

The protocol of blended and problem-based learnin: The online platforms used in this research are the school's iLMS platform, online digital learning, and online opinion exchange platform. It will use online resources (Google, open educational resources, YouTube copyrighted medical micro-movies, and audio-visual materials), and the theme will be elderly care or emerging Multimedia resources on infectious themes, as well as real-time interaction with kahoot or Slido electronic whiteboards, will be uploaded to the office3655The One website. Drive is provided by the school (the school account is used to store course resources) and the system of digital theoretical course concepts in advance. Broadcasting, video (such as: values and conflicts; ethics and morality; patient rights and responsibilities; nurses' rights and responsibilities; ethical theory; basic ethical principles; ethical dilemmas and ethical decision-making; etc.), pre-recorded and stored on the Internet Road platform iLMS.
