Background and objectives: The current teaching method in the College of Nursing is mainly lecture, which plays a vital role for teaching and learning nursing students. The purpose of this study was to assess the students' opinions regarding the current teaching methods at the Hawler Medical University College of Nursing.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out at the college of nursing in the Erbil, Kurdistan region, Iraq. The study involved 414 nursing and midwifery students. A non-probability-convenience sample method was utilized to enroll 414 nursing students who completed a questionnaire to examine their views on the current teaching method at the College of Nursing.
Results: The vast majority of the study sample were female students, and while more than half of them are aged between 21 and 24 years old (56.8%) with an average of 21 years. The findings indicate that the majority of students (63.53%) sometimes expressed an agreement with the effectiveness of the teaching methods. The result indicated that a significantly higher proportion of females report being "sometimes" satisfied with the current teaching methods, accounting for 85.6% of responses in this category, similarly compared to only 14.4% from males.
Conclusion: Most students believed that the current teaching approach used in the nursing education program significantly contributed to students’ increased academic success.
