Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to know undergraduated nursing students' opinions about the pedagogical practice in vital signs grounded on the problem-based learning approach presented in the form of digital educational objects. Ten individuals participated in the research, which used the methodology of a qualitative-case study. Data were obtained by means of semistructured interviews analyzed through thematic analysis. Three final categories were identified: computer-based learning, group work organization, and vital sign learning project evaluation. The activity was a new experience for the students, who considered it as positive because it facilitated both the access to contents and the communication between classmates. However students missed the physical presence of the professor. The group work was conducted in a collaborative way most of the time. The offering of computer-mediated activities associated to the problem-based learning methodology to nursing students has proven to be important.
