Background
and Objectives: Nowadays
the use of new learning technology and internet are developing. The aim of this
research was to compare the effect of
electronic learning and teaching based
on lecture on awareness of nursing students of Islamic Azad University, Abhar
branch about heart dysrhythmias.
Materials and Methods:
In an educational trial study, nursing students in sixth semesters, were
randomly selected and placed in two groups electronic learning and teaching
based on lecture, each of the groups include 35 students. The amount of
knowledge was evaluated by pre-test. Teaching the heart dysrhythmias was performed
by lecture in one group, and by weblog in another group.After one week, the
amount of knowledge was campared with
post-test. The tool was used for collecting the information was researchers'
self-made questionnaire. Data were analysed by Software, descriptive and
inferential statistics (paired t-test and independent t-test) To
compare the mean of students's knowledge scores in pre and post-teaching, it
was used paired t-test within each group, and indipendant t-test among groups.
Results: Results showed weak
awareness before teaching and teaching had significant effect on increasing the
knowledge of heart dysrhythmias after the intervention of each group (p=0.0001
for both electronical and lecture group). There was not any significant
difference between the average of two groups (pre-test: p=0.06, post-test, p=0.21).
Conclusion: Learning by weblog
the same as teaching by lecture, has a positive effect on knowledge of nursing
students and it is suggested to use this method as substitute or complementary method
along with teaching-based on lecture.
