The Impact of Blended Learning Towards the Academic Competency of Nursing Students: Basis for Enhanced Program Policy
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 12, Issue 5
Abstract
Blended learning is one of the primary modes of instruction utilized by most educational institutions in the Philippines following the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study determined the correlation between blended learning towards the academic competencies among nursing students to serve as a basis for enhanced program policy. A survey questionnaire given via online and onsite was used as the primary instrument in this quantitative descriptive correlational study. The statistical treatments utilized were the percentage method, Slovin's formula to calculate the sample size from the overall population of both 3rd and 4th year students, Cronbach alpha to measure the validity of the questionnaire and the Mann-Whitney U Test to determine the significant difference among the given variables. Results from the study showed that the respondents were more satisfied in utilizing the limited face-to-face classes than online classes and that there was a significant difference between the academic competency and blended learning in terms of knowledge among nursing students. However, the academic competency in terms of attitudes and skills and blended learning showed no significant difference. This study also allowed nursing students to become rationally aware of the strengths and repercussions of blended learning. Additionally, the results gathered in this study served as a necessary basis for enhanced program policy. It is recommended for future researchers to conduct the same study towards other healthcare courses to determine how blended learning affects them to become academically competent.
