The object of the research is to find the change of character of nursing students who have taken the team-based learning humanities class.
Character scale of Lee at al. was measured against 97 sophomore students from one nursing school, and the total hours of class were 30 hours. Paired t-test was used to compare the level of character before and after TBL.
The score of character increased from 4.58 to 4.71 (p<0.1). If you take a look at differences of the three subareas of character, the area of knowing factor increased from 4.65 to 4.77 (p<.03), the area of feeling factor increased from 4.75 to 4.87 (p<.0.7), and the area of behaving factor increased from 4.06 to 4.25 (p<.00).
We suggest a development of convergent educational program that helps supporting behavioral character and recurring research of internal and external reasons that effect character and effect of application of character enhancement program.
