Effective nurse educators will improve students' performance. Therefore, examining the characteristics of an effective nurse educator is essential, especially from nursing students' perspectives, which will provide an additional point of view to improve the teachers' quality.
This research aimed to identify nursing students' opinions regarding the characteristics of effective nurse educators and to compare those characteristics according to age, year of study, and cumulative grade point average.
A descriptive quantitative design was used. Data were collected from 400 nursing students in Thailand using a validated questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, -tests, and -tests were used for data analysis.
The overall mean scores of effective nurse educators' characteristics based on students' perspectives were 4.36 ( = 0.45). Subject expertise was the most essential characteristic of the effective nurse educators (Mean = 4.45, = 0.47), followed by relational expertise (Mean = 4.44, = 0.52), personality (Mean = 4.36, = 0.45), and teaching-related behavior (Mean = 4.33, SD = 0.46). The results also showed that participants with different cumulative grade point averages had no different views on the characteristics of effective nurse educators ( > 0.05). However, participants of different ages and years of study had significantly different perspectives on the characteristics of effective nurse educators ( < 0.05).
The study offers necessary information regarding the essential characteristics of effective nurse educators. Therefore, nurse educators can use the study results to improve their desired characteristics. In addition, faculty development programs may be planned to help nurse educators improve these characteristics.
高效的护理教育工作者能提高学生的表现。因此,考察高效护理教育工作者的特征至关重要,尤其是从护理专业学生的角度,这将为提高教师素质提供额外的视角。
本研究旨在确定护理专业学生对高效护理教育工作者特征的看法,并根据年龄、学习年份和累积平均绩点比较这些特征。
采用描述性定量设计。使用经过验证的问卷从泰国的400名护理专业学生中收集数据。描述性统计、t检验和方差分析用于数据分析。
基于学生视角的高效护理教育工作者特征的总体平均分为4.36(标准差=0.45)。学科专业知识是高效护理教育工作者最关键的特征(均值=4.45,标准差=0.47),其次是关系专业知识(均值=4.44,标准差=0.52)、个性(均值=4.36,标准差=0.45)和教学相关行为(均值=4.33,标准差=0.46)。结果还表明,不同累积平均绩点的参与者对高效护理教育工作者的特征看法没有差异(p>0.05)。然而,不同年龄和学习年份的参与者对高效护理教育工作者的特征有显著不同的看法(p<0.05)。
该研究提供了有关高效护理教育工作者基本特征的必要信息。因此,护理教育工作者可以利用研究结果来提升他们期望的特征。此外,可以规划教师发展项目来帮助护理教育工作者改善这些特征。
