Summary

Study Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a blended teaching approach based on the TPACK framework in improving the skills of master\'s degree nursing students in retrieving and using network information resources. The TPACK framework integrates Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge to enhance teaching and learning experiences. Study Content and Implementation Plan This study involves a combination of online and offline teaching methods to help nursing students better understand and utilize various information resources. The main components of the study include: 1. Knowledge Mastery Survey: Students will be assessed on their understanding of the course content using a specially designed survey. 2. Resource Effectiveness Evaluation: The study will measure how helpful students find the different resources used in the course, such as videos, PPTs, and assignments. 3. Skill Improvement Assessment: The study will evaluate the extent to which the course helps improve students\' abilities in areas like literature search, document management, and academic writing. 4. Student Satisfaction Survey: Students will provide feedback on their satisfaction with the course through a comprehensive survey. By implementing these measures, the study aims to minimize any negative effects on students and maximize their learning outcomes in a safe and supportive environment.

Detailed description

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) framework-based instructional approach in a course on Network Information Resources Retrieval and Usage among master's degree nursing students. The research employs a quasi-experimental design to compare the outcomes of an intervention group, which receives TPACK-based blended learning, with a control group that experiences traditional face-to-face instruction. This study aims to provide evidence on the efficacy of the TPACK-based blended learning approach in enhancing educational outcomes in nursing education.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	TPACK-Based Blended Learning Instruction	The control group employed traditional in-person teaching methods, including face-to-face classroom instruction, reading from printed textbooks, and completing homework assignments. The curriculum covered the fundamental theories and skills related to information resource retrieval and usage but did not specifically utilize the TPACK framework. Students primarily received lectures and guidance from the instructor during class and completed assignments and learning tasks independently after class.
