RESUMO
Objective:To explore the application effect of TBL (team-based learning) + PAL (peer assisted leaning) + Flipped Class mixed teaching mode in the course of "nursing psychology" for nursing undergraduates.Methods:A total of 146 nursing undergraduates from four classes enrolled in 2018 were subjected to cluster sampling and assigned to classes 1-2 (experimental group, n=73) and classes 3-4 (control group, n=73). The experimental group adopted the TBL + PAL + Flipped Class mixed teaching mode, while the control group adopted the traditional teaching method. After the course, the two groups were evaluated by final exam score, case analysis score, and core competence self-assessed score with a t-test in SPSS 18.0. Results:The final examination score (82.30±7.77) and case analysis score (46.13±2.91) of the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (74.97±7.05 and 40.36±4.25). The experimental group showed significantly higher scores in autonomous learning ability (8.03±0.91), problem analysis ability (7.99±0.99), teamwork ability (7.67±1.09) and critical thinking ability (7.03±1.33) as compared with the control group (6.21±1.17, 5.64±1.28, 5.79±1.27, 5.15±1.16).Conclusion:TBL + PAL + Flipped Class mixed teaching mode integrates the advantages of the three teaching forms, promotes students' understanding and application of knowledge points, improves students' ability of independent learning, teamwork, and problem analysis, strengthens students' ability of transfer and application of knowledge and skills, increases the teaching effect, and expands the teaching method of nursing psychology.
