ABSTRACT
AIM:
To examine the effects of using different teaching sequences on knowledge acquisition, knowledge retention, self-directed learning and teamwork in a nursing administration project.BACKGROUND:
Compared to other professional courses, nursing administration is relatively difficult, and it is important for nursing administration students to spend long hours working in hospitals. As such, better teaching strategies utilizing proper sequencing may yield better learning outcomes for students.METHODS:
A longitudinal quasi-experimental design was used. A total of 129 students were assigned to two groups with which different teaching sequences were used. The investigated learning outcomes were knowledge acquisition, knowledge retention, self-directed learning and teamwork. Generalized estimating equations were used to measure the learning outcomes.RESULTS:
There was no significant difference between the two teaching sequences in terms of learning effects. One teaching strategy, problem-based learning (PBL), yielded effective student learning outcomes.CONCLUSION:
PBL increased the students' self-directed learning and teamwork. This strategy can be applied to side-by-side co-teaching and post-graduate year training programmes. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT The results from this study may help hospitals retain nurses and find potential nursing leaders. Instructors and nurse managers should discuss learning goals with students in advance to enhance the students' learning outcomes.Palavras-chave
