Using of Blended Learning in improving collaboration Skill of Nursing Students

A blended learning using contextual teaching learning: strengthening nursing students’ procedural knowledge and interprofessional collaboration

“…The possible reason for the increase in the students' procedural knowledge is that blended learning using contextual teaching learning provides space and learning stimuli in the aspect of constructing knowledge by synergizing the existing context to strengthen the existing procedural knowledge of the students. This finding are similar with a recent study which found that blended learning based on contextual teaching-learning that uses appropriate approaches, strategies and methods for thinking needs to gain procedural knowledge is possible to occur considering the learning activities in both face-to-face and online are conducted with the same principles (Uliyah et al, 2019, Uliyah et al, 2020.…”

“…Accordingly, the students can improve their thinking skills to gain new knowledge, ultimately procedural knowledge. This is in line with the notions that procedural thinking patterns are trained through the features available in e-learning so as to familiarize students with procedural thinking, including the content of nursing case study material whose completion is trained to follow the steps in solving nursing problems (Uliyah et al, 2019, Chen, 2021. Moreover, feedback from students during the implementation of blended learning using contextual teaching learning may facilitate the students' increased nursing students' procedural knowledge.…”

“…as well as facilitate students' practice of mutual respect for diversity and understanding of individual differences. Collaborative learning activities with the completion of case studies conducted in groups with different backgrounds both in terms of culture, level of knowledge, gender, and personality, means that students learn from collaboration, which in turn increase students' interprofessional collaboration skills (Uliyah et al, 2019, Uliyah et al, 2020.…”

“…Nowadays, one of the learning problems in Indonesia's nursing education is the low level of procedural knowledge of nursing students and interprofessional collaboration skills (Uliyah et al, 2020). A recent study showed that collaboration between nurses and doctors at one hospital was poor (66.8%), and most of them were still at the negotiation level (Uliyah et al, 2019). This is reinforced in previous research which illustrates that the nurse-doctor relationship has not been collegially established.…”
