ABSTRACT: Objective:
To explore the application effect of case
combined with seminar teaching method in Pediatric
Nursing. Methods:
Two classes in junior year were selected by convenience sampling in 2022, and
the two classes were randomly divided into the intervention group and control
group by tossing a coin. The intervention group utilized the case combined with seminar teaching method, while the
control group used the traditional teaching-based method. The stage test
average score, final exam resultswere compared after
the end of the course. The autonomous learning ability evaluation scale andthe Chinese critical thinking ability scale were used
to attain students’ autonomous learning ability and critical thinking ability
before and after the course. The self-made evaluation scale was used to know
students’ evaluation of the new teaching method after the course. Results: 1) The stage test
average scores of the intervention group and the control group were 79.13 ±
6.39 and 74.67 ± 5.25 respectively(P ,
the final exam scores were 79.83 ± 6.09 and 75.21 ± 4.91 respectively (P The
total scores of autonomous learning ability were 118.67 ± 7.70 and 106.49 ±
7.67 respectively (P ,
and the total scores of critical thinking ability were 283.45 ± 7.82 and 251.37 ± 8.93 respectively (P More than 80% of the students in the intervention group believed that the case combined with
seminar teaching method could deepen the understanding of knowledge,
promote the habit of thinking and literature consulting, and improve the
ability to analyze and solve problems, integrate knowledge and communicate and
coordinate. Conclusions: Application ofcase combined with
seminar teaching method in Pediatric Nursing
improved the students’ autonomous learning ability and critical thinking ability, and strengthened the students’ understanding and
application of knowledge. The students had a positive attitude towards the new
