| Abstract | ||
| Blended learning is a teaching style that combines two or more complementary approaches to teach the same subject, by using a combination of lecture, activity, discussion, and/or web-based modules in the classroom. Aim: To investigate the effect of blended learning and social media learning on academic success and motivation among undergraduate nursing students. Design: A quasi- experimental study design was used to achieve the aim of this study. Setting: The study was conducted at the Faculty of Nursing, Sohag University, Egypt. Sample: A convenient sample of all available third-year undergraduate nursing students (330) from the previously mentioned study setting in the 2020/2021 academic year. Students were included in this study were from bothgender and willing to participate in the study. The study sample of the research was divided into three groups; the control group taught by using the face to face learning (110 students), study group-1 exposed to social media learning, and study group-2 exposed to a blended learning model. Tools for data collection: A self-administered structured questionnaire to assess demographic characteristics and learning needs, and Academic success test (AST), and a motivation scale for learning science (MSFLS). Results: A highly significant difference between the student's blended learning, social media-supported learning, and face-to-face learning regarding their students' academic success and motivation mean scores post-test. Conclusions: Blended learning highly significantly improved undergraduate nursing students' both academic success and motivation than face-to-face or social media learning. Recommendations: Blended learning can be used to facilitate education among undergraduate nursing students; more research is done to determine the effectiveness and durability rate of the information of these methods. | ||
