Effects of Peer Review on Communication Skills and Learning Motivation Among Nursing Students

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of video-based peer review on communication skills and learning motivation among nursing students. A non-equivalent control with pretest-posttest design was used. The participants were 47 sophomore nursing students taking a fundamentals of nursing course at a nursing college in Korea. Communication with a standardized patient was videotaped for evaluation. The intervention group used peer reviews to evaluate the videotaped performance; a small group of four students watched the videotape of each student and then provided feedback. The control group assessed themselves alone after watching their own videos. Communication skills and learning motivation were measured. The intervention group showed significantly higher communication skills and learning motivation after the intervention than did the control group. The findings suggest that peer review is an effective learning method for nursing students to improve their communication skills and increase their motivation to learn.

Training nursing students' communication skills with online video peer assessment

“…They found that students' ranking toward the benefits of teaching activities from high to low was: 1: peer feedback (96.8%), 2: video recording and replay (90.3%), 3: instruction and explanation (90.3%), 4: role-play experience (80.7%) and 5: the handouts (58.1%). Yoo and Chae (2011) investigated the effects of video-based peer review on communication skills and learning motivation among nursing students. The experimental group used peer reviews to evaluate the videotaped performance, while the control group assessed themselves alone by watching their own videos.…”

Effects of Team-Based Learning on Communication Competence for Undergraduate Nursing Students

“…However, according to a study on the current status of communication education [4], more than 90% of domestic nursing colleges were found to implement lecturebased teaching methods, and 95.8% of colleges were evaluating students on the basis of test performance and attendance. The traditional lecture-centered education method for communication has become an underlying cause of the difficulty that nursing students experience when interacting with various subjects and other medical staffs [5]. Moreover, according to new education goals, changes and innovation are essential in overall nursing educationincluding communication-to keep pace with the rapid changes in current medical practice [6].…”

Strengthening Clinical Skills Using Peer-Student Validation

“…[5][6][7][8][9] According to McQuiston and Hanna, 10 learning occurs not only through hierarchical relationships but also through peer relationships or peer coaching. Thus, peer student learning is 1 way to support students in achieving learning objectives for course work.…”
