Background of the Study
Personalized learning is an educational approach that tailors the learning process to individual students’ needs, preferences, and learning styles. In nursing education, this approach is gaining attention due to its potential to enhance student engagement and motivation (Okoro et al., 2023). Ebonyi State University Teaching Hospital is a prominent institution where nursing students undergo rigorous academic training and clinical practice. However, there is a growing concern about student motivation, as nursing programs often involve heavy workloads and complex subjects that may impact students' enthusiasm and commitment to their studies. Personalized learning, which includes adaptive learning technologies, customized learning materials, and one-on-one mentoring, has the potential to address these challenges by catering to individual learning styles and promoting intrinsic motivation (Akinmoladun & Oyedepo, 2024). This study aims to explore the effect of personalized learning approaches on the academic motivation of nursing students at Ebonyi State University Teaching Hospital.
Statement of the Problem
Academic motivation is crucial for nursing students to succeed in both theoretical and clinical components of their education. However, many students at Ebonyi State University Teaching Hospital exhibit signs of low motivation, which can lead to poor academic performance, increased dropout rates, and reduced clinical competencies. Personalized learning approaches are underexplored in the context of nursing education in Nigeria, especially in terms of their effect on academic motivation. This study seeks to investigate whether implementing personalized learning strategies can improve motivation among nursing students at the institution.
