入學管道與護理系學生學業表現之關係

Admission Pathways in Academic Performances among Nursing Students

本研究探討入學管道與護理系學生學業表現的關係。以某科技大學100學年度入學的四技護理系學生（共322人）為分析對象，分析該科技大學校務研究中心（Institutional Research Center,IR）提供的資料，探討不同入學管道（申請入學、技優甄審、甄選入學及聯合登記分發）與護理系學生學業成績（在校護理師國家考試專業科目成績、實習成績、畢業成績）表現的關係。以（1）描述性統計（平均值、標準差、百分比）；（2）推論統計[單因子變異數分析（One-wayANOVA及相關分析）]進行分析。結果顯示，不同入學管道學生學業表現（基礎醫學科目、畢業成績）達顯著差異。護理系學生在校學業成績表現，可能反應於護理師國考考照率。以在校學業成績推估國考考照成績應考量學生的入學管道方式。本研究成果可提供學校課程設計與學校招生策略之有效參酌。

This study investigated the admission pathways in academic performances among nursing students. By analyzing the data of the institutional research center from a university of technology, and 322 students were selected from the 2011 enrollment list of four-year bachelor nursing programs. To explore the effects of different admission pathways, including application, technical excellence screening, recommendation and screening, registration and placement on the academic performances. The academic performances were defined as the professional subjects of Nurse Licensure Examination ( NLE ), an overall score of nursing practicum grades and graduate achievement. The descriptive statistics ( mean, standard deviation and percentage ) and inferential statistics ( One-way ANOVA and correlation analysis ) were applied. Results showed that there had significant differences between admission pathway and academic performances ( fundamental medical subjects and graduate achievement ) among nursing students. However, there had no significant differences between admission pathway and an overall score of nursing practicum grades. The students’academic performances at school might response to their NLE’s passing rates. Estimating the NLE scores base on the academic performance at school should consider the student’s admission channel. The resultscan provide as reference forcurriculum design and strategies of recruiting students forschool.
