Abstract

OBJECTIVE

This study explores the effectiveness of a comprehensive licensure review and adaptive quizzing assignments intervention in improving the performance of undergraduate senior nursing students on the end-of-programme exit exam.

DESIGN

A quasi-experimental single-group design was used to compare pretest and post-test scores through computerised adaptive tests.

SETTING

The setting was a nursing college in Saudi Arabia.

PARTICIPANTS

The study included 292 senior nursing students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing programme.

INTERVENTION

A comprehensive licensure review bundled with adaptive quizzing assignments was delivered over 15 weeks in the academic year 2021-2022. The bundle was guided by the elaboration theory, and it included 3-hour synchronous lectures every week and 23 adaptive quizzing assignments that covered weekly content.

PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES

Students' mastery scores and the percentage of correct answers were the primary and secondary measures, respectively. Both measures were collected in the pretest and post-test (exit examination). Additionally, demographic characteristics were collected in the pre-test using an online survey.

RESULTS

The overall mean of the mastery score was statistically significantly higher in the exit exam (M=2.51, SD=1.70) than in the pretest (M=1.45, SD=0.44; p<0.001). Although the overall mean of the mastery score in the exit exam did not reach the cut-off score, students who demonstrated the required knowledge and satisfactory performance in the pretest achieved a mastery score above the cut-off. The percentage of correct answers was statistically significantly higher in the exit exam (M=58.59%, SD=9.50) than in the pretest (M=49.32%, SD=9.78; p<0.001). A statistically significant difference in students' performance based on gender, age and grade point average was observed.

CONCLUSIONS

A comprehensive licensure review and adaptive quizzing assignments intervention bundle fostered the performance of undergraduate nursing students in the end-of-programme exit exam.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在探讨综合执照审查和适应性测验作业干预措施在提高本科护理专业高年级学生在课程结束时的结业考试表现方面的效果。

设计

采用准实验性单组设计，通过计算机化自适应测试比较前测和后测成绩。

地点

沙特阿拉伯的一所护理学院。

参与者

研究对象为 2021-2022 学年注册护理学士课程的 292 名护理专业高年级学生。

干预措施

在一个学术年度的 15 周内，提供综合执照审查和适应性测验作业捆绑包。该捆绑包以精细化理论为指导，每周包括 3 小时同步讲座和 23 次适应性测验作业，涵盖每周的内容。

主要和次要结果测量

学生的掌握分数和正确答案的百分比分别为主要和次要措施，均在前测和后测（结业考试）中收集。此外，在预测试中还通过在线调查收集了人口统计学特征。

结果

结业考试的掌握分数总体平均值（M=2.51，SD=1.70）明显高于前测（M=1.45，SD=0.44；p<0.001）。尽管结业考试的掌握分数总体平均值未达到及格分数，但在前测中表现出必要知识和令人满意的成绩的学生，其掌握分数高于及格分数。结业考试的正确答案百分比（M=58.59%，SD=9.50）明显高于前测（M=49.32%，SD=9.78；p<0.001）。基于性别、年龄和平均绩点，学生的表现存在显著差异。
