dc.description.abstract | Introduction
The purpose of the study was to explore factors influencing active participation in learning among nursing students at Lubaga Hospital Training School.
Methodology
The study used a cross sectional study design that utilized quantitative methods of data collection. A total of 150 participants constituted the sample size. These participants were selected from the antenatal clinic in Lubaga Hospital using simple random sampling.
Results
Many 80(53%) students lacked adequate knowledge on how to look for information and using learning materials like text books, wall charts and internet. Majority100 (66%) of the students had a negative attitude towards active participation in learning. Institutional related factors were also affecting students’ participation in active learning,118(79%) said computers were not connected to internet for students to surf information to use, and 120(80%) said the library didn’t have all the books students need to actively participate in learning.
Conclusion
Certificate students were not actively participating in learning, they wanted to get information from teachers since they were new in the health profession. While diploma students tried to actively participate in learning because they had been introduced to various methods of learning.
Recommendation
Ministry of Education and Sports, stake holders should formulate policies to stream line teaching and learning methods, make a clear follow up of the nursing training schools to ascertain quality of health workers produced by Nursing training schools. | en_US |
