Abstract
It was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of two different techniques, distance and face-to-face education, in the acquisition of learning skills related to the course of an applied undergraduate program course in the ongoing pandemic conditions. This one-group, semi-experimental study was completed with 68 students. "Participant Information Form", "Instruction Form for Preparing Practice Videos" and "Guide to Practice Learning Skills" were used in data collection. The study was carried out in three stages. In the first stage, the course was taught through distance education with theoretical information and educational videos. In the second stage, students were asked to apply first aid, record it on video and send the file via the e-lesson system. In the third stage, the applications were explained face to face by the lecturer in the laboratory environment and the students were instructed to do these applications. Data were analyzed using SPSS programme. The mean age of the participants was 20.64±0.91 years, while 69.1% (n=47) were female, and 31.9% (n=21) were male. Among the participants, 26.5% (n=18) had previously received training about first aid, where 55.5% (n=10) of those who had stated that they received this training in high school. It was determined that the grades that the participants received after the face-to-face applied education process were significantly higher than the grades they received after the distance education process (p<0.001). In the applied courses, it will be useful to use blended education models as much as possible under pandemic conditions.
