Abstract:

Objective To explore the effect of the integrated theory and practice with flipped classroom based on blended teaching in Fundamentals of Nursing. Methods Convenience sampling was used and students from one class of grade 2019 were selected as the control group. Flipped classroom based on blended teaching was adopted in theory course，while traditional teaching was adopted in experimental course. The experimental group was recruited from one class of grade 2020，and the integrated theory and practice flipped classroom was adopted. The teaching effect was evaluated by process evaluation，summative evaluation scores of theoretical examination，teachers’ observation and students’ evaluation of the course. Results The scores of process evaluation，final operation assessment and final evaluation in experimental group were better than those in control group（P<0.05）. Teachers and students held good overall evaluation of the teaching model of the integrated theory with practice of flipped classroom. Conclusion The integrated theory and practice with flipped classroom based on blended teaching can assist students to master knowledge more systematically，enhance students’ enthusiasm and initiative in learning，improve students’ practical training skills and comprehensive ability.
