Video Films in Nursing and Midwifery Teaching – Statistical Study of Dependence

Abstract

The paper presents educational videos as an interactive method of teaching nursing and midwifery students. As a part of the methods of online education, educational videos transform the learning content into a practical necessity for the formation ofstudents' professional competencies in the considered medical specialties. Correlation analysis identifies the degree of coherence between the observed features: "training with video films" and "professional competencies formation". Using x2statistics, it is decided whether the relationship between two nominal variables is statistically significant and how the strength of the relationship i.e., the extent of the effect, is valued using the coefficients Phi and Cramer’s V. The statistical processing of the performed didactic experiment proves a "strong" correlation between the studied features.
