Integrating an Online Statistics Course With a Graduate Nursing Research Course for Enhanced Learning
Background:
Exploration for innovative pedagogical techniques to teach statistics led to examination of the Open and Free Courses offered through the Carnegie Mellon University Online Learning Initiative (CMU OLI). This study examined the impact of the CMU OLI statistics course on graduate nursing students' course grades and course evaluations.
Method:
This retrospective study of a hybrid course compared three teaching modalities for statistics: 1) face-to-face workshop, 2) CMU OLI course, and 3) CMU OLI course plus online discussions.
Results:
Mean grade point averages increased sequentially and significantly. Individual students' grades improved and student evaluations of instruction mean scores for critical thinking, teaching effectiveness, overall course rating, and overall learning increased significantly (p < .01).
Conclusion:
Future studies are needed that build knowledge of how open and free online courses can be used in nursing education to facilitate retention of content, allay statistics anxiety, and increase student motivation toward research. [J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(4):227-230.].
