PURPOSE: This purpose of this study was to identify both good teaching and desirable teaching behaviors perceived by nursing students.METHODS: A cross-sectional descriptive design was used. A convenience sample of 324 nursing students was selected and they completed self-reported questionnaires from November 1 to December 30, 2015.RESULTS: Among 4 perspectives of good teaching (traditional, systemic, interaction, and constructionism), the traditional perspective was perceived as the highest form of good teaching, while the systemic perspective was perceived as the lowest. Meanwhile, disclosure and clarity were perceived as the highest desirable teaching behaviors. Regardless of students' perspective of good teaching, all 4 perspectives of good teaching were positively related with clarity, enthusiasm, interaction, organization, and disclosure as desirable teaching behaviors independently.CONCLUSIONS: Nursing students perceived that the highest perspective of good teaching was the traditional perspective. Meanwhile, they perceived that clarity, enthusiasm, interaction, organization, and disclosure were desirable teaching behaviors regardless of their perspective of good teaching. Further study will be needed to perceive nursing faculty's awareness of good teaching and desirable teaching behaviors to identify the difference of awareness between nursing students and faculty.

This research was conducted to analyze websites that provide hypertension information in Korea and to provide a proper model for developing sites that give information about hypertension to educate Korean people on promoting their health. Quantitative analysis of the 168 websites, which are categorized as health institutions in popular search engines, and qualitative analysis for the 16 websites that provide hypertension information were carried out. Only 27% of the university hospitals/tertiary hospital websites provided hypertension related information, and most of them provided only a single page of hypertension related information. Among 16 hypertension information-providing websites, 75% have a bulletin board to receive user's opinions and requests, however, 50% was not responsive, and therefore, interactivity is not guaranteed. Most of the websites do not provide information sources and did not employ full multimedia capabilities. Only 50% of the websites provided the last updated time. Websites providing professional hypertension information must be developed to educate the Korean public about measures they can take to promote general health level.
