摘要:The purpose of this study was to define the effectiveness of a smartphone-based
dosage calculation training app on nursing students’ learning achievement,
metacognition, and flow based on prior knowledge. The study used a quasiexperimental
design with a pre- and post-test. Participants were 157 nursing students
from 3 universities with baccalaureate programs in South Korea. After recruiting the
experimental and control groups, they were also categorized by prior knowledge of
drug dosage calculation ability into above and below-mean clusters. The experimental
groups were provided with the smartphone-based app. In the above-mean cluster,
changes in total learning achievement (Z=3.16, p=.002), drop rate calculation (Z=2.76,
p=.006), metacognition (Z=2.50, p=.012), and flow score (Z=2.42, p=.016) in the
experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group. A
smartphone-based calculation training app improves calculation achievement,
metacognition, and flow among students with higher prior knowledge. For learners
with lower prior knowledge, additional instructional design or implementation
strategies may be needed.
