The Quantitative Impact of Students Using Computer Device in a Third Year Undergraduate Nursing College to Learning of the Diseases Rehabilitation
Abstract
This study informs the quantitative impact of students using computer in a 3rd year undergraduate Nursing College. From a group of 30 students completed the study. Using a pre-post random division research design, students were divided to an experimental group and control group depend on a 28-question multiple-choice exam. The experimental group then listened to movies by computer about diseases rehabilitation over eight weeks; while the control group were not provided with any movie on computer but depended on teacher explain. After eight weeks, both groups were re-examined using the same test. Data were analyzed using the impact size statistic and 90% confidence intervals. The control group improved their exam performance by 33%, whereas the experimental group improved by 55%. The alteration between the groups on the post-test was a mean impact size of 0.21 (92% CI: -0.17 to 0.56 [trivial to positively small]). There is nearly no chance that the real influence in the population is dangerous. The results of this study suggest that using computers provides little quantitative advantage for students over and above written text when learning diseases rehabilitation.
