This study aimed to explore the perception of nursing students regarding their engagement in digital learning environments.
At one of universities in Saudi Arabia, a qualitative descriptive study design was used among nursing students from various academic levels.
Data were collected using focus group discussions among a sample of 23 participants. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. The COREQ Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research were used to report this study.
While sharing their perceptions the nursing students reflected on the behavioural and cognitive aspects of engagement, yet they did not include emotional aspects of engagement in their conceptualization. However, the results showed that, while they reflected on their experiences they tended to reflect on emotional aspects of engagement. According to the study's results, self-paced studying, reflective exercises, and interaction with audiovisual and dynamic content all encourage the activation of past knowledge in online learning. The learning modality also was found to be a safe and convenient approach among the participating students. Digital learning presents as a promising educational approach that extends beyond the pandemic yet, efforts should be put in place to facilitate the optimal student engagement to meet learning outcomes. Further research is needed to measure its impact on engagement and other pertinent indicators objectively.
本研究旨在探讨护理学生对参与数字学习环境的看法。
在沙特阿拉伯的一所大学中，采用了定性描述性研究设计，对来自不同学术水平的护理学生进行了研究。
使用焦点小组讨论的方法，对 23 名参与者进行了抽样调查。使用主题分析对数据进行了分析。本研究按照 COREQ 标准报告了定性研究。
护理学生在分享他们的看法时，反映了参与的行为和认知方面，但他们没有将参与的情感方面纳入他们的概念化中。然而，结果表明，虽然他们反思自己的经验，但他们往往会反思参与的情感方面。根据研究结果，自主学习、反思性练习以及与视听和动态内容的互动都鼓励在在线学习中激活过去的知识。研究还发现，学习模式在参与的学生中是一种安全和方便的方法。数字学习是一种有前途的教育方法，不仅限于疫情期间，还应努力为学生提供最佳的参与度，以实现学习成果。需要进一步的研究来客观地衡量其对参与度和其他相关指标的影响。
