Abstract: Objective To explore the effects of O-AMAS effective teaching model that applied in blended teaching of Fundamentals of Nursing. Methods The nursing undergraduates enrolled in 2019 of our school were identified as the control group(n=86), and the traditional flipped classroom teaching method in Fundamentals of Nursing was applied. While the students enrolled in 2020 were identified as the experimental group(n=87), and the blended teaching based on O-AMAS effective teaching model was implemented. The teaching model included five elements：objective, activation, multi-learning, assessment, and summary. After the course, academic performance, deep learning abilities, and learning engagement of the two groups of students were compared. Results The scores of academic performance, various dimensions of deep learning abilities, as well as the overall scores, behavioral engagement, emotional engagement, and learning engagement of the students in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05). Conclusion The blended teaching based on the O-AMAS effective teaching model in Fundamentals of Nursing is helpful to improve teaching effectiveness and learning engagement, and can promote students’ deep learning ability.
