The diagnosis methods for the obstacles and difficulties in computer sciences of nursing students

Abstract

Computer science as a school subject has been a regular media subject for more than 20 years. Indeed, all the educational systems of the world are now convinced that today's learners, brought to live in a hyper-scientific society. This research aims to discover the sources of computer difficulties encountered by some nursing students. We used two well-known methods of analysis: the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) and the Pencil/Paper Questionnaire. Data obtained revealed that the prerequisites are overestimated because the notions learned in high school are forgotten and that the basic notions of computer science seem to present difficulties for these learners. The results of the questionnaire and the NGT are similar and complementary. It becomes clear that using NGT and the questionnaire are efficient tools to diagnose the difficulties and obstacles of nursing students. The NGT can be used not only in identifying students’ problems with scientific notions in computer science, but also in other subjects. Keywords: Questionnaire, difficulties, obstacles, computer science, nursing students.

Technology for teaching regional economic relationships based on the updated content of education

“…With the restructuring of the education department and teacher training, programmes are updated and opened at the school, and in turn upper secondary education students in terms of domain knowledge and become better equipped for the teaching of formation for enhanced, revised and accreditation efforts which were initiated in the schools of education, with special teaching methods. The main purpose of all these initiatives is to train more qualified teachers who will meet the needs of the country (El Hassouny et al, 2021). Students who are open to innovation, who are in constant cooperation and learning with their peers, who are aware of legal, ethical and social issues, as well as field and method knowledge, play a more active role in the process of integrating current technologies into teaching environments and become more successful (Pappadà, et al, 2021).…”
