Process and Outcome Evaluation of PBL Class in a College of Nursing

  Purpose: The purposes of this study were to evaluate and compare the process and outcome of PBL classes for junior nursing students of BSN and RN-BSN students in a college of nursing. Method: The process of PBL was evaluated with the instruments for class evaluation, and outcomes of PBL were evaluated with the instruments for students" learning motives and grades in the PBL classes. The class evaluation and learning motives were measured by students, while students" grades were scored with peer evaluation, self evaluation, and tutor evaluation for each student"s participation in group activities, reports, and presentations. Results: The scores for the process of PBL showed significant differences between junior nursing students and RN-BSN students(t=-2.378, p=0.019). RN-BSN students(63.70) showed higher scores than the junior nursing students(61.17). Among the three dimensions of class evaluation, the scores for learning environment(t=-2.854, p=0.005) and tutor(t=-2.706, p=0.008) showed significant differences. The scores for the class evaluation and learning motives showed strong positive relationship in junior nursing students(r=0.670, p＜0.001), however, there were no relationships between process evaluation and students" grades in both junior nursing students and RN-BSN students. Conclusions: More effective education methods of PBL proper to the students" specific learning needs are required.
