Development of instructional model based on design thinking and reflective practice approaches to enhance nursing innovation abilities of nursing students
Abstract:
This study was a research and development research. The main purpose of this study was to develop and study the effectiveness of an instructional model based on Design Thinking and Reflective Practice Approaches to enhance nursing innovation abilities of nursing students. The research procedures were divided into 4 phases: 1) Studying the preliminary data for developing the instructional model; 2) Developing the instructional model; 3) Studying the effectiveness of instructional model, and 4) Proposing the completed instructional model. The participants were 8 fourth-year nursing students, selected by purposive sampling. The duration for implementing the instructional model was 4 weeks, 140 hours. The research instruments were the assessment form for nursing innovation abilities and a learning log form. Data were analyzed using statistical mean, standard deviation, t value, and content analysis. The findings of this study revealed that: 1.The five principles of the instructional model are as follows: 1) Building self-awareness and inspiration 2) Identifying and analyzing problems from real contexts through a variety of perspectives. 3) Reflective practice through the process of dialogue, listening and writing. 4) Drawing up and developing the model, representing the views of the group, and 5) Presenting or disseminating the work. This instructional model consisted of 5 stages, as namely 1) Preparation and inspiration 2) Finding data and problem identification 3) Information retrieval and solutions verifying 4) Creation and inspection of innovation prototypes, and 5) Dissemination and reflection on learning. 2.The results of the effectiveness of the developed instructional model demonstrated that the nursing students had an average score of ability to create nursing innovation at a good level with a mean of 86.7, and SD of 7.20. Nursing students had an average score of ability to create nursing innovation higher than specific criteria of 70 percent at a statistical significance level of .05. Nursing students were able to develop nursing innovations using nursing knowledge and creativity, including the unique characteristics of nursing innovation.
