Purpose: This quasi-experimental study aimed to evaluate the effects of a mastery learning strategy based on past examination questions on nursing students' self-directed learning ability and academic achievement in fundamental nursing. Methods: A total of 106 second-year nursing students from a nursing junior college in Taipei participated in the study. The experimental group (n = 54) received mastery learning interventions, which included practice with past examination questions, error correction, and individualized feedback, while the control group (n = 52) received traditional instruction. The intervention lasted 18 weeks, and data on the Self-Directed Learning Instrument (SDLI) and academic achievement were collected at pretest, posttest, and delayed posttest. Questionnaires were administered between August 31, 2020, and February 28, 2021. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 20. Results: The experimental group achieved significantly higher academic performance than the control group (p < .05), demonstrating that mastery learning effectively improved academic achievement. However, no significant improvements were found in most self-directed learning subscales, and the control group showed greater progress in learning motivation, interpersonal communication, and overall SDL scores (p < .05). Conclusion: Mastery learning using past exam questions significantly improved academic achievement in fundamental nursing but had limited effects on self-directed learning ability. Future curriculum design should extend the intervention duration and incorporate motivational enhancement and reflective learning strategies to comprehensively foster nursing students's elf-directed learning skills. |
