“…Students who received training in a lecture-workshop showed better results in ECG interpretation than those who followed self-directed learning (6) ; peer tutoring has proved to be more efficient than traditional classes. However, both the lack of conclusive results and the economic costs have led to the increase in the use of web simulation in the fields of medicine and nursing (7)(8) .Web-based learning promotes computer-mediated interaction and student-centered learning in most higher education institutions (9) . Some health science curricula include web simulation, which is widely accepted due to its easy, flexible and independent access, reinforcing individual self-study through training (10) .…”

Objective:To identify the association between the use of web simulation electrocardiography and the learning approaches, strategies and styles of nursing degree students. Method: A descriptive and correlational design with a one-group pretestposttest measurement was used. The study sample included 246 students in a Basic and Advanced Cardiac Life Support nursing class of nursing degree. Results: No significant differences between genders were found in any dimension of learning styles and approaches to learning. After the introduction of web simulation electrocardiography, significant differences were found in some item scores of learning styles: theorist (p < 0.040), pragmatic (p < 0.010) and approaches to learning. Conclusion: The use of a web electrocardiogram (ECG) simulation is associated with the development of active and reflexive learning styles, improving motivation and a deep approach in nursing students.

Effects of web-based electrocardiography simulation on strategies and learning stylesEfeitos da simulação eletrocardiográfica em ambiente web sobre as estratégias e estilos de aprendizagem Efectos de la simulación electrocardiográfica en ambiente web acerca de las estrategias y estilos de aprendizaje INTRODUCTIONTraditionally, the electrocardiogram (ECG) has aided the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of arrhythmias, coronary syndromes and cardiac revascularization (1) . These pathologies, often found in pre-hospital, accident and emergency and critical care settings, pose a life-threatening risk that requires quick diagnosis and treatment. ECG monitoring and interpretation skills are gained in medical education and strengthened by experience. However, the need for immediate pattern recognition and subsequent procedures involves nurses in the processes of evaluation, registration, and initiation of reperfusion therapies as well as in the detection of complications and the request for assistance.ECG interpretation requires high-order learning. Although the ECG has historically been taught in a traditional classroom, new methodologies have changed the teaching-learning process in response to the lack of time and resources. Health science educators should focus their teaching methods on the student, developing new learning processes and adapting their strategies to each context or discipline. In academic nursing education, this new status quo favors technology, motivation, active participation and simulation (2)(3) . Multiple technologies have been applied to ECG teaching in medicine, nursing and pharmacy degrees for both undergraduates and postgraduates, including a multimedia CD-ROM, videograms, computer programs, computer-assisted tutorials, multimedia teaching and interdisciplinary approaches (1,4) . Human simulation, web-based video and web simulation tools (5) have been used to develop ECG diagnostic skills in advanced cardiac life support (ACLS).The ECG diagnostic skills ar...

“…Although quantitative research has explored the impact of these activities on student values the change in attitudes and values is often short lived [10][11][12][13] and there is a lack of comparative qualitative synthesis that examines the impact of the four enrichment activities on the affective domain development of undergraduate student nurses. A qualitative review approach that examines the collective views of students, their personal experiences in relation to the impact of the activities on the affective domain of learning, using a structured framework could offer a deeper understanding [14,15].…”
