摘要：This study is a pre-post design experimental research on a nonequivalent control group with the aim of identifying the effects of blended learning in nursing education on critical thinking and learning satisfaction of the nursing students. The research subjects were 79 second-year nursing students of K University in G region, composed of 39 students in the control group and 40 students in the experimental group, gathered through convenience sampling. The two groups equally went through the pre-test using the questionnaire for data collection. Afterwards, blended learning was applied to the experimental group for three weeks in total. The collected data was analyzed using the SPSS PC+20.0 for windows. According to the research, the experimental group that participated in blended learning had a statistically significantly high score for critical thinking (t=-6.21 p<.001) and had a high, but not statistically significant, score for learning satisfaction (t=-.52, p=.683). Given the research findings, it was determined that blended learning in nursing education was more effective in improving the critical thinking of nursing students than the existing nursing education curriculum.
