Evaluation of the Effects of Flipped Learning of a Nursing Informatics Course

초록

Background: This study evaluated the effects of flipped learning in a nursing informatics course. Method: Sixty-four undergraduate students attending a flipped learning nursing informatics course at a university in South Korea participated in this study in 2013. Of these, 43 students participated at University A, and 46 students participated at University B, as a comparison group. Three levels of Kirkpatrick's evaluation model were used: level one (the students' satisfaction), level two (achievement on the course outcomes), and level three (self-perceived nursing informatics competencies). Results: Students of the flipped learning course reported positive effects above the middle degree of satisfaction (level one) and achieved the course outcomes (level two). In addition, self-perceived nursing informatics competencies (level three) of the flipped learning group were higher than those of the comparison group. Conclusion: A flipped learning nursing informatics course is an effective teaching strategy for preparing new graduate nurses in the clinical setting.
