TED Talk: An Innovative Assignment to Learn Research and Evidence-Based Practice Concepts
1Author Affiliation: Former Associate Dean for Graduate Programs, School of Nursing, University of Portland, Oregon, USA.
Nursing students found a TED Talk assignment moderately helpful for understanding evidence appraisal, though satisfaction varied. Most recommended retaining this innovative approach in evidence-based practice courses.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)
Background:
- Effective healthcare relies on evidence-based practice (EBP), necessitating research appraisal skills for professionals.
- Nursing students often find statistical interpretation challenging, hindering EBP competency.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess nursing student perceptions and satisfaction with a TED Talk assignment.
- To evaluate the assignment's effectiveness in understanding evidence appraisal concepts.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive survey design was employed.
- Students created and presented TED Talks on EBP concepts in a course setting.
Main Results:
- The assignment facilitated engagement with research and EBP concepts.
- Students rated the assignment moderately helpful for understanding evidence appraisal components.
- While most students were neutral or disagreed about satisfaction, nearly 60% recommended its continuation.
Conclusions:
- The TED Talk assignment did not yield universal satisfaction among nursing students.
- Variations in faculty teaching approaches across course sections may have impacted student experiences and perceptions.

Cognitive Learning
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

Steps in the Modeling Process
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...
