摘要：Objective: To assess the outcome of the application of active learning during practicum among nursing students using clinical assessment and evaluation scores as a measurement. Methods: Nursing students were instructed on the basics of active learning prior to the initiation of their clinical experience. The participants were divided into 5groups of nursing students ( n=56) across three levels ( years 2-4) in a public academic institute of a bachelor degree program in Macao. Final clinical evaluation was averaged and compared between groups with and without in-tervention. Results: These nursing students were given higher appraisals in verbal and written comments than previous students without interventian. The groups with the invention achieved higher clinical as-sessment and evaluation scores on average than comparable groups without the active learning in-tervention. One group of sophomore nursing students ( year 2) did not receive as high of evalua-tions as the other groups, receiving an average score of above 80. Conclusions: Nursing students must engage in active learning to demonstrate that they are will-ing to gain knowledge of theory, nursing skills and communication skills during the clinical practi-cum.
