Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Educational Technology
- Nursing Education
Background:
- Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is increasingly integrated into health science curricula.
- Assessing student satisfaction is crucial for effective TEL implementation.
- Understanding factors influencing satisfaction informs pedagogical strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate nursing and health science student satisfaction with TEL.
- To identify key factors contributing to student satisfaction in TEL environments.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive study design was employed.
- Surveys were administered to nursing and health science students.
- Data analysis focused on satisfaction levels and influencing factors.
Main Results:
- Overall student satisfaction with TEL was high.
- Minimal differences in satisfaction were observed between nursing and health science students.
- Satisfaction levels did not significantly differ between undergraduate and graduate students.
Conclusions:
- Technology-enhanced learning is generally well-received by health science students.
- Faculty expertise in educational technology is a critical determinant of student satisfaction.
- Targeted faculty development in TEL can enhance the learning experience.
