Effects of web-based electrocardiography simulation on strategies and learning styles. Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da USP.

The study sample included 246 students in a Basic and Advanced Cardiac Life Support nursing class of nursing degree.RESULTSNo significant differences between genders were found in any dimension of learning styles and approaches to learning. After the introduction of web simulation electrocardiography, significant differences were found in some item scores of learning styles: theorist (p < 0.040), pragmatic (p < 0.010) and approaches to learning.CONCLUSIONThe use of a web electrocardiogram (ECG) simulation is associated with the development of active and reflexive learning styles, improving motivation and a deep approach in nursing students.engSimulationElectrocardiographyInternetComputer-assisted instructionNursingLearningjournal article10.1590/S0080-623420150000400016
