About

The aim of this study is to design, implement and evaluate the School Health Nursing course in the undergraduate nursing program using the universal design model.

Full description

Nursing education has adopted technology, evidence-based practice, critical thinking, and collaborative work. In order for teaching to be successful, students with different characteristics should be addressed and diversity and flexibility should be taken into consideration in the teaching plan. In this context, the application of the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is recognized as an inclusive learning approach that can meet the diverse needs of nursing students. Despite this, UDL is not well known in nursing education. Nursing students are diverse in culture, abilities and challenges. IET is a logical and social model that supports a variety of learning modalities. Accessibility tools help to measure the effectiveness of faculty efforts to make nursing courses accessible to all. In a study conducted in the USA, 100 courses were analyzed 1 year apart for the use of accessibility software to measure faculty development and student participation in nursing courses over 2 academic terms (spring 2021 and 2022). It was found that course accessibility scores and student utilization increased significantly with SET. In a study designed in Canada for Covid-19 in the fall semester of 2020 using online IET-based teaching strategies, the undergraduate course given in the first year of nursing was evaluated with convergent mixed methods analysis. In the technology-enhanced face-to-face health sciences course where the principles of KET were applied, students were provided with a variety of means of representation, participation and expression. Students reported that the delivery of the course with SLT resulted in increased flexibility, socialization, reduced stress and increased achievement, and that they felt more empowered to make personal choices to best support their own learning. Given the relative ease of applying the principles of SLT to courses, it is thought that it can be easily integrated into nursing education.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to design, implement and evaluate the School Health Nursing course in the undergraduate nursing program using the universal design model.

Method: In the research, simultaneous mixed method will be used in which one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental model and qualitative research methods will be used together. The sample was found 27 with the "G. Power-3.1.9.2" program with a medium effect level (d=0.5), 5% margin of error (α=0.05) and 80% power (1β=0.80).

Data accumulation methods: Data, Descriptive Characteristics Form, Critical Thinking Disposition Scale,Communication Skills Scale, Healthy Living Awareness Scale, Experiences of Nursing Students Form (Learning Diary), Reflective Diary will be collected.

Relevant statistical techniques will be used to analyze quantitative data and content analysis method will be used to analyze qualitative data.

The curriculum, which will be prepared with the principles of the universal design model, will be implemented for 10 weeks, 3 lesson hours a weeks.

Description:

Quantitative part of the research;Experimental: The curriculum, which will be prepared with the principles of the universal design model, will be implemented for 10 weeks, 3 lesson hours a weeks. The data of pre-invention study will be collected. Descriptive Characteristics Form, Critical Thinking Disposition Scale,Communication Skills Scale, Healthy Living Awareness Scale. Post-intervention data will be collected with Critical Thinking Disposition Scale,Communication Skills Scale, Healthy Living Awareness Scale. Qualitative part of the research: Experiences of Nursing Students: Student opinions will be taken weekly (Learning Diary) to determine the experiences of the students during the implementation process and at the end of the implementation. Reflective Diary: At the end of each session, the teacher will make a self-evaluation of the session.
