The Relationship of Online Learning and Information Technology with Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor Abilities

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on education in nursing programs. Changes in the learning system were followed by changes in learning methods and information technology as a means of support. In fact, mastery of learning methods and information technology support is still not optimal. To improve students’ cognitive, affective, and psychomotor capacities, lecturers must grasp numerous learning approaches and information technology. This study aimed to examine the relationship of mastery of online learning methods and information technology assistance with nursing students’ cognitive, emotional, and psychomotor capacities in Indonesia. The design of this study was a cross-sectional internet-based survey. The instrument was an online questionnaire using a Google Docs form. The sample size was 582 participants. Simple random sampling was used as the sampling technique. Statistical analysis used Pearson’s correlation test. In terms of education level, the results of the research show that the majority of the participants are from the diploma level (44.2%), followed by undergraduate (26.1%), professional nursing (18.6%), master (8.8%), specialist (1.4%), and doctoral (1.0%). A significant relationship (p < 0.05) was found between mastery of online learning methods and information technology support and cognitive and psychomotor abilities in a positive direction. No relationship was found with affective abilities. Mastery of learning methods and information technology support were correlated with the achievement of cognitive and psychomotor abilities. Specific online learning methods are needed to achieve students’ effective abilities
