 Abstract:

Students who enter universities should be trained as human resources needed in the present society. In addition to the chronological changes, nursing students are required to solve problems, have creative thinking, cooperation, and have interpersonal relationships in the field. Nursing students also complain of difficulties in interpersonal and emotional relationships. Nursing students' active learning abilities and problem-solving are needed to perform work after graduation. 36 third- and fourth-year university students attending H University in Chungcheongnam-do were required to classify 35 statements about their PBL Class experience. The statement used 35 sentences, which were finally extracted after reviewing the sentences collected through literature and interviews by university students by two major professors, two Ph.D. students, and five nursing students. The collected data are analyzed for Q factors using the QUANALl PC Program. The analysis results of PBL classes experienced by Nursing Students were divided into three types. Three types of PBL Class experiences for Nursing Students are "fulfillment in cooperation and problem-solving," "the importance of collecting diverse feedback," and "lack of knowledge and difficulty in communication." To cultivate talented individuals in the era of the fourth industrial revolution, various learning methods are recommended to convert thinking through new learning, personality, and understanding majors. Therefore, we would like to check the subjective consciousness of nursing students who have experienced PBL Class and provide basic data on various learning problems by characteristics and development and operation of the learning process through differences in consciousness among individuals.
