Background: The range of educational resources now available to students has increased due to new technology. One of the difficulties and concerns in higher education, particularly in nursing education, is learning various practical skills. Teaching and learning about the typical process of labour is crucial for
undergraduate nursing students who are studying midwifery and obstetrical nursing , the ability to articulate the typical process of labour must be learned by students. Basic knowledge of the regular mechanisms of labour is required for carrying out a normal vaginal birth. Methods: In order to compare the effectiveness of blended learning, video-based learning, and face-to-face learning methods on knowledge and skill of Mechanism of labour on undergraduate nursing students of Sikkim Manipal College of Nursing, Sikkim, this true experimental research approach study with pretest-posttest control group design aims to test the primary outcomes. The secondary goal is to assess and compare the effectiveness of undergraduate nursing students' pre-clinical knowledge and skill score on mechanisms of labour, to assess and compare the effectiveness of their post-clinical knowledge and skill score on mechanisms of labour, and to determine whether their pre-clinical and post-clinical knowledge and skill scores on mechanisms of labour are related
to baseline. The 93 undergraduate nursing students (31 in each group) will be assigned after a thorough assessment and a simple random sampling process. After the start of the fifth semester cohort (third year B Sc nursing), data collection will take place with informed consent. Both descriptive and inferential statistics will be used to analyze the data that have been collected. Discussion: Videos can make classes more exciting, but they cannot replace the need for tactile acquisition of practical skills. In a typical demonstration, the teacher watches the students and intervenes immediately if necessary. Traditional education has undoubtedly withstood the test of time and shouldn't be entirely replaced by more modern tools. Particularly in competency-based nursing education, we should concentrate on blending conventional and current teaching approaches so that students will gain from this approach. The study's findings will outline the most effective technique for instructing nursing students on the mechanics of labour, which will be used as support to start the best teaching learning methods.
