Abstract
The last two decades have witnessed the unprecedented development of information technologies and internet, in conjunction with the universities demand for improved access to higher education; have stimulated the rapid growth of e-learning technology for delivering education and performing academic research activities. Blended learning is a hybrid of classroom and on-line learning that includes some of the conveniences of on-line courses without the complete loss of face-to-face contact. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of using blended learning on the nursing student’s performance and satisfaction through: comparing between the performances of nursing students’ exposed to blended learning versus traditional teaching. Hypothesis focused on that; students exposed to blended learning will have a positive significant difference in their performance with those exposed to traditional teaching. Method: A quasi-experimental study design was used on a group of (106) first year nursing students, at the Technical Institute of Nursing, Cairo University; (53) in the control group and (53) in the study group from both sexes involved in the study. The tools used for data collection were: self administered questionnaire sheet, student’s performance observational checklist, Osgood’s semantic differential scale, and student’s openionaire sheet. Results of the study revealed that there were no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) between the control and study groups regarding to practice, and attitude. Both groups were satisfied toward the program, however a highly statistically significant difference (p<0.001) was found between both groups regarding to their knowledge. The study recommended further studies on a larger sample of students, on different topics, also in different institutions and facilities.
