In-service credit classes for nursing courses not only break the time limit but also allow for credit exemption in the future, which is one of the lifelong learning pathways for working adults. It is one of the approaches to respond to the impact of the pandemic of COVID-19 especially during the level 3 alert. The purpose of this study was to explore the learning experience of in-service learners by evaluating an online course with a concept mapping based on an adult care case study. A qualitative research approach was adopted to collect data through documentary analysis of learning reflections and semi structured in-depth interviews, as well as to conduct the thematic analysis. Eight students were interviewed individually by snowball sampling from 23 students in an in-service nursing credit class at a northern school. After document analysis and in-depth interviews, thematic analysis revealed four key themes related to online concept mapping: “brainstorm learning experience,” “applying what has been learned,” “incidental extended learning,” and “breaking through self-limitations,” and several subthemes were analyzed for each theme. The findings suggest that online concept mapping can enhance nursing students’ learning experiences in in-service credit courses, particularly through group discussions and presentations that foster greater extension of learning outcomes. This study also provides recommendations for future teaching and learning, serving as a reference for teaching practice and academic research. |
