Summary
Interdisciplinary teaching (IDT) significantly improved creative thinking and teamwork among Taiwanese nursing students developing healthcare products. This approach enhances innovative product development in higher education.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Education
- Nursing Education
- Creative Thinking Studies
Background:
- Effectiveness of Interdisciplinary Teaching (IDT) in higher education, especially in Taiwan's healthcare sector, remains under-researched.
- Assessing IDT's impact on divergent creative thinking and team creativity in nursing students is crucial for curriculum development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of Interdisciplinary Teaching (IDT) in enhancing creative thinking and team creativity among nursing students in Taiwan.
- To compare the outcomes of IDT with traditional teaching methods in a healthcare product development course.
Main Methods:
- A quasi-experimental study utilizing a pretest-posttest design was conducted.
- Nursing students in a capstone course were divided into an intervention group (IDT) and a control group (traditional teaching).
- The intervention group received creative thinking skills training integrated with IDT by nursing and design faculty.
Main Results:
- Students in the IDT intervention group demonstrated significantly higher scores in both creative thinking and team creativity compared to the control group.
- The study provides quantitative evidence supporting the positive impact of IDT on student creativity.
Conclusions:
- Integrating Interdisciplinary Teaching (IDT) involving nursing and design faculty can effectively foster creative thinking and team creativity in nursing students.
- This pedagogical approach is recommended for developing innovative healthcare products through interdisciplinary student teams.

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight 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.

01:50Statistical Significance
20.4K
Once data is collected from both the experimental and the control groups, a statistical analysis is conducted to find out if there are meaningful differences between the two groups. A statistical analysis determines how likely any difference found is due to chance (and thus not meaningful). In psychology, group differences are considered meaningful, or significant, if the odds that these differences occurred by chance alone are 5 percent or less. Stated another way, if we repeated this...
