Introduction : Regarding the importance of using new technologies, including blending learning in medical education and the necessity of evaluating students learning, this study was conducted to investigate the role of educational Self-Efficacy and interpersonal relations skills of students in the evaluation based on blending learning.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study. The research population included all undergraduate students in nursing and midwifery of Mashad University of Medical Sciences, selected by stratified sampling. Data collection instruments included educational Self-Efficacy inventory, standard interpersonal relations skills inventory, and students' perspective towards blending learning evaluation inventory. For data analysis, one-sample t-test, ANOVA, and hierarchical multiple regression statistical tests were used.
Results : The students were in agreement and strong agreement with the evaluation based on blending learning (90%), and the results of one-sample t-test were significant (t=51.14, and p=0.01). A significant difference was observed between interpersonal relations skills of the students, with respect to their field of study. The variables of relation skills and Self-Efficacy predicted the students' perspective towards evaluation based on blending learning (p=0.01).
Conclusion : Findings showed the role of interpersonal relations skills and Self-Efficacy of the students in the evaluation based on blending learning. Therefore, it is recommended to highlight and pay special attention to the application of the evaluation based on blending learning in this educational system.
