ディベート導入による母性看護学の授業展開に関する考察

　本研究は,母性看護学の授業にディベートを導入し,学生がその効果をどのように認知しているのかを明らかにし,授業評価を行い,今後の授業展開に役立てることを目的とした。デイベート学習全体の評価3項目,詳細評価27項目からなる無記名自己記入式アンケート調査を行った。対象は1999年～2001年までに母性看護学1を受講した学生177名で171名から有効回答を得た。
　因子分析の結果,詳細項目27項目からI教員の関わり効果,IIディベートスキル習得効果,III少人数制効果,IV教材・文献,V総合的学習効果,V学習の負担感の6因子が抽出された。学生はディベートスキル習得効果を非常に高く認知しており,重回帰分析の結果,デイベートスキル習得効果と少人数制効果,教員の関わり効果がこの授業の全体評価に影響していた。特にディベートスキル習得効果は全体評価3項目すべてに影響し,ディベート学習の効果が今後の学習全般や臨床活動において期待される結果であった。またグループ学習において,きめこまやかな教員の関わりが重要であることが示唆された。
The purposes of this study were to clarify the cognitive effect on students of the introduction of debating techniques in a maternal nursing course, to conduct an evaluation of the course, and to apply the results in designing future courses.
This study examined the effect of debate-based learning by conducting an overall course evaluation (three items) along with a more detailed evaluation (twenty-seven items) by means of an anonymous self-report questionnaire survey. Subjects were 177 students who studied maternal nursing between 1999 and 2001. Valid responses were obtained from 171 of these subjects.
Factor analysis of the detailed evaluation of twenty-seven items indicated six factors of interest.Those six domains were I. Effects of relationship with teacher, II. Effects of learning debate skills, III. Effects of studying in small groups, IV. Teaching materials and references, V. Effects of comprehensive study approach, VI. Effects of burden of studying. Students were highly cognitive of the effects
of learning debate skills. Multiple regression analyses were perforrned, and it was found that the overall course evaluation was influenced significantly by three factors: the effects of learning debate skills, the effects of studying in small groups and the effects of relationship with teacher. The effects of learning debating skills in particular were found to have a significant influence on all three factors effecting overall course evaluation. These results indicate that the introduction of debate-based learning may be beneficial to students in general classroom study as well as in clinical nursing activities.Moreover, it was suggested that the influence of the teacher was a very important factor in group study.
