Mediating effect of e-learning quality on learning outcomes through student satisfaction in nursing education

Objective:This study aimed to determine the relationships between e-learning quality,student satisfaction,and learning outcomes and the mediating effect of student satisfaction.Methods:A cross-sectional quantitative correlational study using a predictive design and multivariate analysis method was employed in this study.A sample of 241 nursing students were recruited through an online survey based on a stratified random sampling technique.The variance-based Par tial Least Squares Structural Modeling analysis method was used to test the possible relationship and mediating effect among the variables.Results:The findings revealed statistical y significant relationships between e-learning quality,student satisfaction,and learning outcomes.A mediating effect of 37.2%is predicted for e-learning quality on learning outcomes through student satisfaction.Conclusions:This study emphasizes the learning needs of working nurses and the impact on their learning outcomes in e-learning nursing undergraduate programs.Advances in e-learning education have assisted nurses to be more self-sufficient in their pursuit of lifelong learning.

Clinical education and student satisfaction: An integrative literature review

The clinical component of undergraduate clinical education is a critical area in nursing programs. Faculty shortages have made recruitment of clinical faculty and clinical teaching more challenging. As such, alternate models of clinical faculty assignments are being explored to address faculty shortages. This article contains an extensive literature review conducted to survey models of clinical education and student satisfaction with the clinical environment. The purpose of this paper is to examine student satisfaction in the clinical learning environment using articles employing the Clinical Learning Envi-ronment Inventory (CLEI) along with examining the use of alternate clinical staffing models in differing levels of undergraduate nursing students. A literature search focusing on studies published between 2002 and 2015 was conducted from 5 electronic databases. Thirty-five articles were reviewed and 22 were selected for this literature review. The studies reviewed concluded that students favored a more positive and favorable clinical environment than they perceived as being actually present. A supportive clinical learning environment is of paramount importance in securing positive teaching learning out-comes. Nurse educators can apply the results of this review in order to develop and maintain quality clinical teaching and to promote a positive, student-centric, clinical learning environment.

A Survey and Analysis of College English Students’Satisfaction Under the Flipped Classroom Model

This paper investigates the satisfaction of Chinese college students in English learning under the flipped classroom model.A questionnaire was scientifically compiled and in-depth interviews were conducted with students.The survey results show that students have high satisfaction with teachers’video design before class,students have slightly lower satisfaction with their own learning video before class,students have the highest satisfaction with teachers’classroom design,and students have medium satisfaction with their own classroom learning.According to the survey,the following enlightenment is drawn:The flipped classroom has high student satisfaction in English learning.However,the flipped classroom model cannot solve all the problems of college English classroom teaching,and what we should do is to give full play to its advantages.We can improve the learning effect of flipped classroom and increase students’learning satisfaction by optimizing the online learning environment of flipped classroom and improving students’autonomous learning ability.
