The purpose of this study was to clarify what students learned through a Distant Interactive Classroom from the data of the VTR recorded in the classroom and questionnaires after the class. Our classroom was at a local nursing university in Japan, and was connected with another classroom in the metropolitan area with the SCS. A few 4th-year-students made presentations about their clinical practice experiences, and one hundred students among different years participated in discussion. The topics were; how to understand clients' situations, what interventions were decided, and what the outcomes were. The findings were: 1) As the students were mixed in years, the decision process was more clearly understood through questions and answers. First-year students could imagine what nurses were doing and 4th-year students could feel their own development in the views of nursing by presenting their own nursing processes. 2) The students understood differences in the lifestyles of clients as well as their own in terms of cultural differences on the basis of regional difference. 3) The students were surprised with getting responses in an instant and enjoyed real-time exchange experiences. Some were bothered by the noise, though. The researchers found that it's fruitful to discuss common information on nursing care among students and teachers of distant universities with different backgrounds and cultures. The students hoped to have the interactive classroom more often. The findings suggested a possibility for students to grow through the cultural exchanges, which is important in order to understand clients' lives. More utilization of technological devices is necessary in nursing by taking cost performance into consideration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
