[Problem based learning by distance education and analysis of a training system]

Area of Science:

• Nursing Education
• Pedagogical Innovation
• Health Sciences

Background:

• Traditional nursing education models often lack active learning and interdisciplinary collaboration.
• The integration of new technologies in education presents opportunities for enhanced skill acquisition.
• Developing effective training systems is crucial for modern healthcare professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

• To present and analyze a novel training system for nursing care skills.
• To evaluate the effectiveness of a problem-based learning (PBL) approach.
• To assess the benefits of interdisciplinary, intercultural, and distance learning using new technologies.

Main Methods:

• Implementation of a training system centered on learning through problems (LTP).
• Inclusion of students from diverse disciplines and cultures to solve shared problems.
• Utilization of new information and communication technologies (NTIC) for remote cooperation.

Main Results:

• The analysis confirmed that the pedagogical aims of the LTP approach were achieved.
• Students demonstrated enhanced active learning skills through the problem-based method.
• The system facilitated interdisciplinary and intercultural collaboration, though requiring significant coordination.

Conclusions:

• The developed training system effectively enhances nursing care skills through active learning.
• Successful interdisciplinary and intercultural approaches require robust coordination, balanced student groups, and tutor support.
• The integration of NTIC is vital for effective distance cooperation in nursing education.
