About this study
Official title: Improving Applicable Elderly Care Skills Through Combined Situational Cases and Digital Learning: An Action Research
This study aims to evaluate a teaching approach designed to improve students' skills in elderly care. The approach combines case-based learning (using real-life care scenarios) with blended learning methods, including online learning, role-playing activities, and peer teaching.
University students enrolled in an elderly care course will participate in the study. Their knowledge of elderly care, ability to learn independently, and confidence in providing care will be measured before the course, after the course, and after completing an internship.
The study will assess changes in students' knowledge, self-directed learning ability, and confidence in caregiving over time. It will also examine whether these changes are sustained after the internship experience.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Case-Based Blended Learning for Elderly Care SkillsBehavioural
An educational intervention designed to enhance students' aged care knowledge, self-directed learning ability, and caregiving self-efficacy. The program integrates blended learning strategies, including asynchronous e-learning, case-based scenario development through role-playing video production, and learning-by-teaching activities. Effectiveness is evaluated using quantitative assessments collected at multiple time points (pre-course, post-course, and after internship) and qualitative data from focus group interviews to explore students' learning experiences.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Blended Learning Group | Experimental | Participants received a blended learning intervention that combined case-based scenario learning, asynchronous e-learning, role-playing video activities, and peer teaching to improve elderly care skills. Receives: Behavioral: Case-Based Blended Learning for Elderly Care Skills |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Caregiving Self-Efficacy
Caregiving self-efficacy will be assessed using a structured questionnaire to evaluate participants' confidence in providing elderly care. Scores will be measured at baseline (pre-course), immediately after course completion, and after completion of the internship. Higher scores indicate greater caregiving self-efficacy.
Measured: Baseline (pre-course), immediately post-course, and after internship completion (approximately 12 weeks)]
