〔Objective〕To validate a causal model related to self-regulated learning (SRL), social skills, and a sense of adaptation to training for the purpose of receiving recommendations for educational intervention during clinical training.
〔Method〕Distributed written questionnaires to 1,485 third and fourth-year students at nursing universities and junior colleges across the country, using postal mail or online surveys as the method of collection. The method of analysis was validation using structural formula modeling.
〔Results〕Results from 447 responses eligible for analysis indicated that SRL had a positive impact on the “sense of adaptation to training” and that the path from “social skills” to “sense of adaptation to training” was insignificant. Furthermore, results indicated a correlation between SRL and “social skills”. Model compatibility was RMSEA = .040,CFI = .931,TLI = .929.
〔Conclusions〕It was indicated that the “sense of adaptation to training” was easy to obtain by promoting motivation and self-reflection during clinical training. Instructors inducing students to talk about the progress and comprehension of training, and promoting corrections towards the effective utilization of learning strategies demonstrated the potential for refining student meta-recognition and improving student capacity for self-regulated learning.
