| Summary: | 碩士 === 高雄醫學大學 === 護理學研究所 === 96 === Nursing is an applied science. To keep up with the rapidly changing medical landscape, nursing education must be changed. One recent international trend has been toward the increasing adoption of problem-based learning (PBL). However, in order to promote comprehensive problem-based learning, it should be have a good Chinese measuring tool.
In the first stage, we develop of a “Problem-Based Learning Evaluation Questionnaire”(PBLEQ). A convenience sample consisted of 30 nursing students was used in the pilot study to examine the reliability and validity of PBLEQ. A convenience sample consisted of 410 nursing students was drawn to construct validity. About one tenth of the sample (50 nursing students) was then drawn to test the reliability. The constructed validity of PBLEQ was examined by factor analysis. The PBLEQ includes 44 items. The fist domain students performance in PBL tutorial sessions questionnaire containing self-directed learning scale and critical thinking scale is divided into two dimensions: self-directed learning (10 items) and critical thinking (10 items). These two factors account for 57.8% of the total variance. The second domain containing Student Performance in PBL Tutorial Sessions Questionnaire is divided into three dimensions: independent study (8 items), group interaction and active participation (7 items), and reasoning skills (9 items). These three factors account for 61.3% of the total variance. The construct validity is good. The correlation coefficients between Tutotest scale and the total scale is 0.42 (p<0.1). The Cronbach’s α of PBLEQ is 0.9 and intraclasses correlation coefficient for test-retest reliability is 0.93.
The results of this study could be a measurement tool of further research and clinical assessment. They could help nurses understand the self-directed learning, critical thinking, independent study, group interaction and active participation, and reasoning skills in the nursing clinical practice.
