Effects of Online Team-Based Learning on Knowledge and Learning Satisfaction among Nursing Students in a Pediatric Nursing Course
Keywords:
online team-based learning, knowledge, satisfaction,, nursing studentsAbstract
The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) led to changes in the format of online teaching and learning management. Team-based learning (TBL) was implemented to enhance students’ learning experiences through open discussion and the free exchange of ideas, resulting in diverse perspectives and increased participation in expressing opinions, all fostered by the collaborative team process. This quasi-experimental research with a one-group pretest-posttest design aimed to examine the effects of online team-based learning on knowledge and learning satisfaction among 189 third-year nursing students in a pediatric nursing course. The topics included pediatric nursing care for children with disorders of the respiratory, cardiovascular, and nervous systems. The research instruments consisted of 1) a personal information questionnaire, 2) pre- and post-test knowledge assessments, and 3) a satisfaction questionnaire. Instrument quality was verified by three experts. The item-objective congruence (IOC) indices for the pre-instruction tests on pediatric nursing care for children with disorders of the respiratory, cardiovascular, and nervous systems were 0.95, 0.90, and 0.96, respectively. The IOC indices for the post-instruction tests were 0.94, 0.92, and 0.98, respectively. The satisfaction questionnaire demonstrated excellent reliability, with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.90. Data were analyzed using frequency distributions, percentages, means, standard deviations, and paired t-tests.
The results revealed that the mean post-test knowledge scores were significantly higher than the pre-test scores (p < .05). Students’ satisfaction with the online team-based learning in the pediatric nursing course was at a high level. Therefore, team-based learning can be effectively applied to pediatric nursing courses and other subjects to enhance students’ learning outcomes.
