Hybrid course in nursing: assessment of quality according to the indicators system

Abstract

Aim: to evaluate two hybrid courses in an undergraduate program in nursing. Method: this is a descriptive, transversal, and quantitative research. An instrument based on indicators of inputs, process, and results was applied to 43 undergraduate students of the third and sixth terms who attended hybrid courses. The data were presented in tables with simple frequencies and percentages. Results: the indicators of inputs and results were assessed as good. Yet, the indicators of process, such as technical support provided, level of learning flexibility with respect to time and space, and the assessment of learning developed in the course, were assessed as poor. Final considerations: the results showed the need to reorganize the courses. It is suggested that there is incentive and professional training so that the professors are able to use the new technologies, since that organizes and innovates the teaching-learning process, as well as the development of research in the field.
