Abstract: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many nursing students are being taught remotely. Remote learning has drawbacks, such as decreased motivation for learning and difficulties conveying the instructor’s intentions. Strategies that compensate for the shortcomings of remote learning should be identified. This study aimed to evaluate the understanding of the knowledge use and awareness of negotiation methods through cases and teaching tools in nursing student classes on environmental assessment and daily life support, and to examine whether supplementary assistance can compensate for the drawbacks of remote learning. This study used a mixed-method design, and included 59 second-year nursing students attending an environmental assessment course in 2021. Students’ knowledge use and awareness of negotiation methods were evaluated using self-assessment worksheets before and after the class. The pre- and post-class scores were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The mean knowledge score increased significantly during the study period ( p < 0.001). Students acquired awareness of how to use the knowledge gained during class and negotiation awareness by observing role play, factors that strengthen motivation when learning alone. This study provides insight into the potential of class supplements to compensate for the deficits of remote learning. Supplementing the shortcomings of remote learning should be a priority and may be a focal point of hybrid learning.
