Investigating the Effect of Traditional Education and E-Learning on Community Health Workers in Noor City Regarding Waste Management Based on Kirk Patrick Model

Abstract

Background and Objective: Evaluating the effectiveness of various in-service training methods is essential in order to achieve the desired goals and reduce costs in any organization. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of traditional education and e-learning (distance learning) on health workers in Noor city regarding waste management in 1999 based on the Kirk Patrick model. Materials and Methods:The present study was performed by quasi-experimental method in 80 health centers of Noor city. 100 participants in the study were randomly divided into two groups of traditional education and distance education on waste management education. Outcome assessment was performed using the first two levels of the Kirk Patrick model using a questionnaire and test. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-test, independent t-test and linear regression by SPSS software. Results:The results of the paird t-test showed the effect of both methods on improving the learning rate (Pvalue≤0.05) of the respondents regarding rural waste management. The findings of the independent samples t test showed that there was no statistically significant difference (Pvalue≥0.05) between the satisfaction score with a mean difference of 0.1 and the learning rate of health workers with a mean difference of 0.02 in the two groups. The results of linear regression test showed that the level of literacy had a statistically significant relationship (Pvalue≤0.05 = β = 0.30) but about the age, there was no statistically significant relationship (Pvalue≥0.05) with the amount of learning. Conclusion:Traditional and e-learning methods had a similar effect on health workers' learning in the field of waste management. Therefore, it is necessary that in-service training programs for community health workers, use e-learning methods in combination with other methods for their professional improvement.

Capacitações Na Modalidade E-Learning Como Estratégia De Ensino: Revisão Integrativa

“…Em contrapartida alguns dos artigos não focaram apenas em uma categoria profissional e se estenderam as equipes, sendo representada por dois artigos na modalidade e-learning para o desenvolvimento de habilidades de paramédicos (Koka et al, 2020;Suppan et al, 2020), um sobre os profissionais de saúde mental (Buers et al, 2015), dois sobre os trabalhadores em cuidados primários em saúde (Zhan et al, 2017;Zokaei;Shakerian, 2022), três sobre os profissionais de saúde (Girvalaki et al, 2020;Choi et al, 2018) e um com a equipe médica e de enfermagem (Mistraletti et al, 2017).…”

“…O foco da empresa ao ofertar essas possibilidades de desenvolvimento está na construção e solidificação de seus ideais, na propagação de conhecimento e no cultivo de uma instituição que valoriza o saber de seu colaborador (Espindola, 2020;Wrezinski, 2020). Contudo, houveram estudos que relataram que o e-learning não obteve impacto no conhecimento dos profissionais e enfatizaram que para o desfecho correto deveriam ser complementadas com outras metodologias (Zokaei, Shakerian, 2022;Zhan et al, 2017;Boespflug et al, 2015), reforçando papel do ensino híbrido, que nada mais é que a continuação dos assuntos abordados em sala de aula, porém com o uso da era digital (Brito, 2020).…”

“…Por outro lado, alguns programas não relataram diferença no uso do e-learning sobre o conhecimento dos profissionais, até mesmo em detrimento ao método de aprendizagem tradicional (Franchi et al, 2016;Hoek et al, 2023;Freire et al, 2022;Simonsen et al, 2014). Além disso salientaram que essa metodologia deve ser combinada com outra estratégia para alcançar o aperfeiçoamento profissional (Zokaei, Shakerian, 2022;Zhan et al, 2017;Boespflug et al, 2015).…”
