Toward an Integrative Nursing Curriculum: Combining Team-Based and Problem-Based Learning with Emergency-Care Scenario Simulation

Abstract

Objective: The study intended to combine team-oriented, problem-based learning (PBL) with emergency-care simulation to investigate whether an integrative intervention could positively impact the core nursing competencies and teacher performance of nursing students. Methods: The study belonged to the domain of action research, which aimed to address the weaknesses of traditional teacher-led, lecture-based learning. An 18-week, single-case experimental design, in which 58 senior nursing students at a medical university in central Taiwan participated, was conducted to test the possible benefits of the intervention. The measures included the Scale of Core Nursing Competencies and the Teacher Performance Evaluation Scale. Results: The research results showed that nursing students who received integrative training that combined team-based PBL with emergency-care scenario simulation had stronger mastery over core nursing competencies. At the same time, they also evaluated both the “Emergency Care” course for which the curriculum was used and the teachers’ performance in that course more highly. Conclusions: The findings suggest that an integrative curriculum combining team-based PBL with scenario simulation is worth pursuing. Compared with traditional teacher-led, lecture-based teaching, this curriculum may be more effective in helping nursing students develop core competencies in their field.

Practice and experience in the teaching system of clinical pharmacy laboratory in the post-epidemic era: A review

“…However, students can only passively take notes in class without thinking independently, cooperative learning, and lifelong learning ability, which decreases the enthusiasm of the class. [ 16 ] In recent years, many new teaching modes different from traditional teaching have emerged, including simulation scenario teaching, [ 17 ] team-based teaching, [ 18 ] problem-oriented teaching, [ 19 ] and case-based teaching. [ 20 ] It aimed to cultivate students’ autonomous learning ability and improve their comprehensive quality.…”

The Effects of Case-Based Teaching in Nursing Skill Education: Cases Do Matter

“… 31 Nursing students actively participate, and good classroom interaction helps the nursing students complete the internalization of knowledge. 32 After class, the design of exercises and cases is designed for students to distinguish knowledge points that are easy to be confused. After-class exercises are an extension of classroom discussion, 33 so that the knowledge learned in the classroom can be effectively consolidated and strengthened.…”

Implementasi Pembelajaran Berasaskan Projek (PBP): Manfaat dan Cabaran kepada Pelajar dan Guru

“…Pembelajaran berasaskan masalah juga turut melibatkan perbincangan. Ianya berlaku apabila pelajar dapat mengenal pasti masalah dan mencari jalan penyelesaiannya (Huang & Wang, 2020). Selain itu, Ikram (2019) menyatakan bahawa pembelajaran jenis ini dapat menghasilkan murid yang aktif dalam proses pembelajaran.…”
