Abstract

Background: With the spread of the global epidemic of covid-19, Modern methods of learning and dispensing with traditional methods had to be used to adapt to the current developments of the global epidemic. Aim of study: To assess the effect of undergraduate students’ perception regarding blended learning on their engagement in nursing administration courses. Research design: A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used. Setting: The study was conducted at the Faculty of Nursing-Ain Shams University. Subjects: The study included 204 out of 453 nursing students throughout the academic year (2021-2022) enrolled in nursing administration course. Data collection tools: Data were collected by Students’ Views on Blended Learning Scale and its implementation process, and The Student Engagement Questionnaire. Results: Less than two-thirds of studied nursing students had high-level perception, while slightly more than one quarter of studied nursing students had moderate level perception regarding total perception of blended learning. Less than half of studied nursing students had moderate engagement and two fifths of studied nursing students had high engagement level. Conclusion: There was a highly statistically significant positive correlation between total nursing students' perception in blended learning of nursing administration course and their total engagement. Recommendations: Periodically making survey for nursing students’ opinions and suggestions concerning blended learning application through learning management system. Further research is recommended as assessing challenges facing blended learning implementation among faculty staff.
