Abstract
Abstract: Keywords: Multimedia for learning, ExPARS model, Expectation, Satisfaction,Operating rooms, Nursing studentsThis quasi-experimental study aimed to compare the expectation andsatisfaction of students toward using multimedia for learning in the operating room. Atotal of 60 third-year nursing students in academic year 2005 were recruited in thestudy. They were assigned into two groups: the control group receiving conventionallecture and demonstration for learning, while the experimental group receivingmultimedia tools for learning using the ExPARS model (Exploring needs, Planning,Activity, Reflecting, and Synthesizing). Data were collected from May 2005 toFebruary 2006 using the Expectation and Satisfaction toward Learning Model inOperating Room Questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics andindependent t-test statistics. Results revealed that expectation with learning for bothoverall and subscale scores between the experimental group and the control group wasnot significantly different. However, satisfaction with learning for both overall andsubscale scores in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in thecontrol group. The suggestion from this study is that nurse instructors in the operatingroom should pay more attention to establish strategies to improve nursing students’learning by using educational technology to support effective learning. This may solvethe problem of having insufficient learning experiences in the operating room, whilethe number of nursing students is creasing with a limited resource.
