Communication and interpersonal skills are relevant to the health professions, so it is important to promote these competencies at university. This research assesses the effectiveness of teaching oral competence through simulation using face-to-face and blended methods. A public speaking workshop was conducted in a group of 144 first year nursing students. Three groups were obtained according to the teaching method (Group 1: traditional method-3 sessions, Group 2: traditional method-2 sessions, Group 3: blended method-2 sessions). Public speaking confidence was measured at the beginning and end of the training, and oral competence was assessed at the end. As a result, all groups achieved a good level of oral competence after the training. However, while students in Group 1 showed greater oral competence, with regard to confidence in public speaking, students in Group 1 showed significantly worst results than those in Group 3. We concluded that simulation is a useful strategy to improve cognitive learning, and behavioural and practical competencies such as public speaking. As for the teaching method, although blended learning did not offer better results than traditional learning, it seems useful provide there is at least one face-to-face session so that the student can perform a speech and receive corrective feedback.
沟通和人际交往能力与健康专业相关，因此在大学推广这些能力很重要。本研究评估了通过模拟使用面对面和混合方法教授口头能力的效果。在一组 144 名护理一年级学生中进行了公开演讲工作坊。根据教学方法，分为三个小组（1 组：传统方法-3 次课程，2 组：传统方法-2 次课程，3 组：混合方法-2 次课程）。在培训开始和结束时测量公开演讲的信心，在培训结束时评估口头能力。结果，所有小组在培训后都达到了良好的口头能力水平。然而，虽然第 1 组学生的口头能力有所提高，但就公开演讲的信心而言，第 1 组学生的结果明显不如第 3 组。我们得出结论，模拟是提高认知学习以及公开演讲等行为和实践能力的有用策略。至于教学方法，虽然混合学习并没有比传统学习提供更好的结果，但似乎有用，前提是至少有一次面对面的课程，以便学生可以进行演讲并获得纠正性反馈。
