The Student Training, Education and Practice for Dietetics (STEP-DIET) CD-ROM was developed at the University of Surrey to prepare dietetic students for the practical dietetic training component of their Nutrition/Dietetics degree. This study aimed to evaluate student response to the programme and its effectiveness as a teaching tool, based on the evaluation framework of D.L. Kirkpatrick (Evaluating a Course, 2nd edn. London, Kogan Page). Quantitative and qualitative methodologies were employed, with 41 dietetic students, separated by year group, completing questionnaires and taking part in six focus groups, at the University of Surrey. Student attitudes towards the instruction method and the STEP-DIET programme itself were investigated, in conjunction with their perceived learning achievements. Students rated the programme highly in terms of design and content, however, there was a reluctance to accept computer-assisted instruction (CAI) as a sole teaching method. A number of learning achievements relevant to dietetic practice were reported including a perceived increase in ability to conduct a dietetic interview and an increased understanding of the management of Type 2 diabetes. In general students reacted positively to the STEP-DIET programme and it was perceived by students to be effective in preparing them for the practical component of their dietetic training.
萨里大学开发了《饮食学学生培训、教育与实践》(STEP-DIET)光盘,旨在让营养学/饮食学专业的学生为其学位课程中的饮食实践培训部分做好准备。本研究旨在根据D.L. 柯克帕特里克的评估框架(《评估一门课程》,第2版。伦敦,科根出版社),评估学生对该项目的反应及其作为教学工具的有效性。研究采用了定量和定性方法,萨里大学的41名饮食学专业学生按年级分组,完成问卷调查并参加了六个焦点小组。研究调查了学生对教学方法和STEP-DIET项目本身的态度,以及他们所感知到的学习成果。学生们对该项目的设计和内容评价很高,然而,他们不愿接受将计算机辅助教学(CAI)作为唯一的教学方法。报告了一些与饮食实践相关的学习成果,包括感觉进行饮食访谈的能力有所提高,以及对2型糖尿病管理的理解有所增强。总体而言,学生们对STEP-DIET项目反应积极,他们认为该项目有效地帮助他们为饮食实践培训的实践部分做好了准备。
