Summary:
Study Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a blended teaching approach based on the TPACK framework in improving the skills of master\&#39;s degree nursing students in retrieving and using network information resources. The TPACK framework integrates Technology, Pedagogy, and Content Knowledge to enhance teaching and learning experiences.

Study Content and Implementation Plan

This study involves a combination of online and offline teaching methods to help nursing students better understand and utilize various information resources. The main components of the study include:

1. Knowledge Mastery Survey: Students will be assessed on their understanding of the course content using a specially designed survey.
2. Resource Effectiveness Evaluation: The study will measure how helpful students find the different resources used in the course, such as videos, PPTs, and assignments.
3. Skill Improvement Assessment: The study will evaluate the extent to which the course helps improve students\&#39; abilities in areas like literature search, document management, and academic writing.
4. Student Satisfaction Survey: Students will provide feedback on their satisfaction with the course through a comprehensive survey.

By implementing these measures, the study aims to minimize any negative effects on students and maximize their learning outcomes in a safe and supportive environment.

Primary Outcome Measures: Mastery of knowledge, The Knowledge Mastery Scale was used to evaluate students' knowledge mastery. Through a process of revision informed by the course objectives and content, a final version consisting of 12 items was developed. Participants rated their level of mastery based on their course experiences, with higher scores indicating greater mastery. Example item: "Please evaluate your level of mastery of the course content based on your personal experiences. Choose the option that best reflects your understanding on a scale of 1 to 5.", 3 monthes
Secondary Outcome Measures: Effectiveness of resources, To find out how much the students perceived the resources used in the course to be helpful in understanding and mastering the course content. The questionnaire was based on a 7-point Likert scale, with scores from 1 to 7 indicating "very unhelpful", "unhelpful", "rather unhelpful", "average", "fairly helpful", "helpful", and "very helpful", with higher scores indicating that the higher the score, the more helpful the resource is perceived by the students., 3 monthes
Other Outcome Measures: Learning satisfaction, The Learning Satisfaction Scale was adopted as a student self-assessment scale with 24 entries, containing course satisfaction, teaching satisfaction, platform satisfaction, expected service satisfaction, perceived service satisfaction and overall satisfaction. We adjusted the dimensional entries to match the course content, resulting in a 17-entry satisfaction scale. Participants rated their satisfaction level on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from "very dissatisfied" to "very satisfied.", 3 monthes
