“What is my initial impression of midwifery”: a phenomenological study of first year student experiences after a redeveloped course
This study showed that, on the basis of constructivist learning theory, the redevelopment of "Introduction to Midwifery" changed the students' initial impressions of midwifery, showed great potential for cultivating students' identity and attitudes towards midwifery, promoted changes in students' learning behaviour, and provided new ideas for midwifery pedagogies.
