Abstract

The aims of this quasi-experimental study with one group pre-test and post-test design were to study the effect of e-Learning on learning achievement of nursing students in Faculty of Nursing, Ubon Ratchathani University who took the Child and Adolescent Nursing 1 course and to assess the students’ satisfactions in learning lessons through e-Learning. The samples were 74 second-year nursing students who took the Child and Adolescent Nursing 1 during 2017 academic year. The instrument used to collect the data was a questionnaire with two parts: 1) e-Learning courseware titled: “Children and Adolescent Nursing 1” and 2) a questionnaire that measured students’ satisfaction towards the e-Learning courseware. The data were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, and paired t-test.

The findings indicated that: 1) after using the e-Learning, students’ average scores that showed their study achievements were significantly higher than those before using the e-Learning at p = 0.05 and 2) the students’ satisfactions of the e-learning courseware was at a high level (  = 3.93 SD=0.71). Further applications of the e-Learning on other courses in nursing curriculum is suggested.
