The aim of this study was to describe the experience of Norwegian nursing students with internationalization through participation in a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) course.
Educators in Norway and the United States collaborated to incorporate internationalization and population health concepts into virtual courses during the pandemic. Literature gaps exist in post-implementation assessment data that ascertain internationalization through the COIL experience.
This was a qualitative study with a descriptive design. Data were collected from focus group interviews and analyzed conventional content-analysis approaches.
Fifteen Norwegian undergraduate nursing students who participated in the COIL opportunity completed focus group interviews.
The themes identified included, "virtual conversation builds collaborations and enhances learning," and "this opened my eyes."
Norwegian students acknowledged they had learned transferable lessons from their global partners that could be applied to patient care of the marginalized population in Norway.
本研究旨在描述挪威护理专业学生通过参与合作在线国际学习(COIL)课程而体验到的国际化。
在大流行期间,挪威和美国的教育工作者合作,将国际化和人口健康概念纳入虚拟课程。在实施后评估数据中存在文献空白,通过 COIL 经验确定国际化。
这是一项具有描述性设计的定性研究。数据来自焦点小组访谈,并采用常规的内容分析方法进行分析。
15 名参加 COIL 机会的挪威本科护理专业学生完成了焦点小组访谈。
确定的主题包括“虚拟对话建立合作关系并增强学习”和“这让我大开眼界”。
挪威学生承认,他们从全球合作伙伴那里学到了可以应用于挪威弱势群体患者护理的可转移经验。
