HEMŞİRELİK ÖĞRENCİLERİNE YÖNELİK DİJİTAL AKRAN ÖĞRETİMİ MODELİNİN GELİŞTİRİLMESİ

Öz

Öğrenme teorileri tarafından desteklenen akran öğretimi, öğrencilerin birbirlerinden öğrenmelerini teşvik eden, öğrenci merkezli bir öğrenme yöntemidir. Bu çalışma sağlık bilimleri branşlarında eğitim gören öğrencilerin teknoloji desteği ile akran öğrenmesi yaklaşımlarını harmanlayarak dijital akran öğretimi yönteminin etkinliğini değerlendirme amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tüm sağlık bilimleri öğrencilerini dahil etmenin ve dijital akran öğrenimi platformunun demonstrasyonunun zor olması sebebiyle örnek seçimi dar bir çerçevede tutulmuştur. Çalışmanın yapılabilmesi için güvenirliği kanıtlanmış bir yazılım geliştirme süreci olan Spiral Geliştirme metoduyla NishPost adında dijital akran öğretimi platformu kodlanmıştır. 16 Temmuz-16 Ağustos 2024 tarihleri arasında, bir vakıf üniversitesinde Cerrahi Hastalıkları yaz okuluna kaydolan 60 hemşirelik öğrencisi, iki eşit gruba ayrılmış, bir gruba çalışmada kullanılması için tasarlanan dijital platform üzerinden akran dersi yaptırılmıştır. Diğer gruba ise sınıf ortamında akran dersi yüz yüze anlatılmıştır. Her iki grupta da eğitmen gözlemci rolünde yer almış, tüm koşulların aynı kalması sağlanmıştır. Akran tarafından aktarılan dersin sonunda dersi dinleyen öğrencilerin Akran Mentörlüğü Değerlendirme Ölçeği ile akranı değerlendirmesi sağlanmıştır. Elde edilen ortalama ölçek puanları kullanılarak bağımsız örneklem t-Testi uygulanmış ve dijital ortam ile yüz yüze akran öğretimi arasında anlamlı bir farklılık (p:0,032, t:-0,653) tespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin dijital mecralarda daha rahat hissetmesinin söz konusu farklılığa etki ettiği öngörülmektedir. Bu durumda çalışma, gelecekte yapılacak araştırmalar için önemli bir veri sunmaktadır. Çalışma bu bakımdan özgün ve önemli bir değer oluşturmaktadır.

DEVELOPMENT OF A DIGITAL PEER TEACHING MODEL FOR STUDENTS IN HEALTH SCIENCES PROGRAMS

Öz

Peer teaching, supported by learning theories, is a student-centred learning method that encourages students to learn from each other. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the digital peer teaching method by blending peer learning approaches with technology support for students studying in health sciences branches. Since it is difficult to include all health sciences students and to demonstrate the digital peer learning platform, the sample selection was kept within a narrow framework. In order to carry out the study, a digital peer teaching platform called NishPost was coded with the Spiral Development method, a software development process with proven reliability. Between 16 July-16 August 2024, 60 nursing students enrolled in the Surgical Diseases summer school at a foundation university were divided into two equal groups, and one group was given peer tutoring through the digital platform designed for use in the study. The other group was taught the peer lesson face-to-face in the classroom environment. In both groups, the trainer was in the role of observer and all conditions were kept the same. At the end of the lesson delivered by the peer, the students who listened to the lesson evaluated the peer with the Peer Mentoring Evaluation Scale. An independent sample t-test was performed using the average scale scores obtained and a significant difference (p: 0.032, t: -0.653) was found between digital media and face-to-face peer teaching. It is predicted that students' feeling more comfortable in digital media has an effect on this difference. In this case, the study provides important data for future research. In this respect, the study constitutes a unique and important value.
