Background: Contemporary students are growing up in an era of rapid technological and Internet development. Relying on a single instructional method makes it increasingly difficult to engage learners. The COVID-19 pandemic further transformed educational structures worldwide by accelerating the adoption of remote teaching, a trend also evident in Taiwan. As a result, blended instruction—combining online and in-person teaching—has become widely used in the post-pandemic era. This study examined students’perceptions of blended learning in the“Maternity Care Nursing”course offered in a two-year technical university nursing program. Methods: The course incorporated multiple teaching strategies, including remote and face-to-face instruction, Kahoot!, quick response (QR) codes, virtual reality (VR), and team-based group reports. At the end of the course, student feedback on the blended learning experience was collected through a focus group. Results: Students’responses were highly positive, particularly regarding the use of digital materials and gamified learning tools, which enhanced their motivation and engagement. Three themes emerged from the focus group analysis: (1) a lively classroom atmosphere fosters learning interest, (2) the COVID-19 pandemic has normalized new learning modalities, and (3) realistic clinical scenarios stimulate curiosity and deepen understanding. Conclusions / Practical Implications: This course integrated blended teaching with VR and authentic clinical narratives to develop a“virtual–real integrated”instructional model. Positive student feedback reflected increased learning interest and sustained engagement. Employing multiple student-centered teaching strategies can enhance course participation and enrich the content of the“Maternity Care Nursing”curriculum. We therefore recommend adopting this blended teaching model across different nursing curricula and subjects in the post-COVID-19 era. Such an approach can strengthen educational resilience and ensure continuity of learning in the event of future epidemics. |
