Due to the unprecedented events caused by the global pandemic, vital changes are made in the
nursing curriculum. This study aims to assess how the method of online learning of skill based
subjects in the nursing course affects the overall interest of the students and its efficacy in honing
self-assertive future nurses.
We chose this study due to its timeliness and its significance to the nursing students who are now
experiencing 100% online learning which can affect their certain subjects which originally relies
on demonstration and face to face teaching.
The present study investigates the effect of online learning vs. blended learning (BL) in
developing English language skills by nursing student. The participants of the study included
sixty students of Asadabad Nursing Faculty. They were randomly divided into three groups. The
control group received general English instruction through the communicative approach and did
exercises based on the tasks for developing general English skills. The online group received
general English instruction through LMS instructional model. The BL experimental group
received general English instruction through blended learning instructional model. Students then
took a posttest of standard general English (TOFEL). The results showed that the blended
learning group performed better than the other groups in developing general English skills. These
results have pedagogical implications for curriculum designers, developers of training programs
for future nurses, material producers, and all who are involved in nursing education.
3.) The Effectiveness of Online Learning: Beyond No Significant Difference and Future
Horizons https://jolt.merlot.org/Vol11no2/Nguyen_0615.pdf
The physical “brick and mortar” classroom is starting to lose its monopoly as the place of
learning. The Internet has made online learning possible, and many researchers and educators are
interested in online learning to enhance and improve student learning outcomes while combating
the reduction in resources, particularly in higher education. It is imperative that researchers and
educators consider the effectiveness of online learning compared to traditional face-to-face
format and the factors that influence the effectiveness of online courses. This study examines the
evidence of the effectiveness of online learning by organizing and summarizing the findings and
challenges of online learning into positive, negative, mixed, and null findings. Particular
attention is paid to the meta-analyses on the effectiveness of online learning, the heterogenous
outcomes of student learning and the endogenous issue of learning environment choice. Taken as
a whole, there is robust evidence to suggest online learning is generally at least as effective as the
traditional format. Moreover, this body of literature suggests that researchers should move
beyond the “no significant difference” phenomenon and consider the next stage of online
learning.
