On the application of internet-based formative evaluation in the teaching of paediatric nursing

Abstract

Objective To discuss the effect of applying internet-based formative evaluation in paediatric nursing teaching. Methods Three nursing classes from grade 2015 were selected as research subjects, and determined randomly as test group, control group 1 and control group 2. Internet-based formative evaluation was used in the test group, while control group 1 used traditional test papers, and control group 2 skipped formative evaluation. Results Analysis of the results and the total scores of the final examination showed no significant difference between the test group and the control group 1 (P>0.05), but the scores of both groups were significantly higher than that of the control group 2 (P<0.05). The scores of the students' evaluation to teachers in test group was better than that in control group 1 and control group 2, and the differences between the three groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The average time of exams in the test group was shorter than that of control group 1, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The cost of the test group was 0 yuan, while the cost of the control group1 was 638 yuan. Conclusion Although there is no significant difference in the teaching effect between the internet-based formative evaluation and traditional test papers, internet-based tests can significantly improve the students' interest in learning, increase the efficiency of teaching and learning, and improve the teaching quality. The internet-based formative evaluation can be widely used in nursing teaching. Key words: Formative evaluation; Internet; Paediatric nursing
