Abstract:

Objective To discuss the effects of peer assisted learning(PAL) based on learning style on the core competence of freshman nursing undergraduates.Methods Freshman nursing students were divided into two groups. The control group adopted traditional teaching,and the experimental group adopted PAL based on learning style. After one year of teaching implementation,the core competence score and course assessment scores of the two groups were compared.Results The total score and scores of each dimension of core competence were all higher than those in control group(P<0.05). The results of two courses’ examination of experimental group were higher than those of control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The teaching mode of PAL based on learning style can significantly improve the core competence of freshman nursing students and advance their mastery of professional knowledge,and is an effective teaching mode adapted to modern education.
