Abstract

Objectives This study is the application and evaluation of the blended learning education program for paramedic students at a university. The purpose of this study is to understand how the education program about disaster severity classification(triage), which combines blended learning-based distance education and simulation education, affects the educational satisfaction and knowledge understanding of students.
 Methods This study is one group, post-test design. A blended learning-based disaster severity classification education program that combines distance education and simulation was implemented for 20 first and second-year emergency rescue students at a university. The difference in knowledge comprehension and education satisfaction was measured as an evaluation.
 Results As a result of applying and evaluating the blended learning for college students in the emergency rescue department for 105 minutes, the satisfaction with the web environment was the highest (M=9.47), immediately after online class and online class. And after face-to-face class, knowledge of disaster site severity classification increased statistically significantly before (M=7.40), after online class (M=8.20), and after online and face-to-face class (M=9.80) (χ2=13.48, p=.001).
 Conclusions The blended learning-based education program that mixes distance learning and simulation in disaster response can not only contribute to improving students' educational satisfaction but also expand their understanding of knowledge. In particular, simulation training is effective in the psychomotor domain. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the effectiveness of education by applying a blended learning-based education program for students majoring in health according to the subjects.
