Purposes 1. To determine physical therapy students’learning performance and perceptions when taking a women’s health promotion course using blended learning. 2. To explore the effects of different learning styles and gender on learning outcomes and perceptions. Methods The subjects were 107 students in their junior year of a physiotherapy program. The Chinese version of the Kolb Learning Style Inventory (LSI) was used to assess the students’learning styles. The course was about exercise guidance for pregnant and postpartum women. Hybrid teaching and multi-assessment were adopted to evaluate the learning outcome. The process-oriented guided inquiry learning (POGIL) was used for the students’self-assessment across four dimensions: cognition, social, affection, and meta-cognition, to determine learning perceptions. Two-way analyses of variance were performed to determine the effects of different learning styles and gender on learning outcomes. Nonparametric tests were performed to determine whether there were significant differences in students’learning perceptions across the four dimensions. The satisfaction questionnaire results for hybrid teaching were also expressed in percentages. Results The LSI results showed that: There were 40, 29, 22, and 16 subjects with a converging learning style, assimilating learning style, diverging learning style, and accommodating learning style, respectively. The written report and total scores of students with a diverging learning style were lower than those of students with converging or assimilating learning styles. Contingency tables were used to analyze the survey of learning perceptions, and the results showed a significant association between learning styles and learning perceptions outcomes in both genders . The distribution of learning satisfaction varied regarding knowledge, social, affection, and meta-cognition with different learning styles. Conclusions High levels of student participation and satisfaction with blended learning may contribute to the autonomy and convenience of after-class learning. The background and learning styles of students were diverse. Multiple assessments are recommended for scoring. LSI and POGIL questionnaires may be provided to students to assess learning outcomes. |
