Summary

The widespread use of smartphones today has led to the emergence of new ways of teaching, such as mobile learning. This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of mobile learning on students' success and anxiety in teaching the anatomy of the genital system.

This research is a randomized controlled experimental study conducted with students who took anatomy classes at a private university between November-December 2018.The sampling consisted of 63 students who met the sampling criteria of the study and who were given permission to participate in the research after the information was explained. Control (n=31) and experimental group (n = 32) were determined by randomization using simple numbers table. The mobile application developed for the experimental group was installed on the students' android devices with the extension "genitalsystem.apk".The anatomy of the genital system was taught to the control group with a standard curriculum and to the experimental group via the mobile learning.

In this context, the study hypothesizes that mobile learning is effective in teaching the anatomy of the genital system, and that the success levels of students who receive an education through mobile learning are higher and their anxiety levels are lower than those who receive education through traditional methods.

The necessary interviews and correspondences were carried out in order to conduct the research. Permission was obtained from Health Sciences University Istanbul Training and Research Hospital Clinical Research Ethics Committee. The purpose of the study was explained to the students as per the sample criteria and their consents were obtained. All of the students participating in the study attended four hours of theoretical lessons in the classroom related to anatomy of the genital system. Following the theoretical training, students were divided into experiment (mobile application) and control (genital organ model) groups. Both groups where then given the "Structured Student Presentation Form", "Status and trait anxiety inventory" and "Knowledge Examination (pre-test)" on paper. The didactic content prepared for the institution's standard curriculum (control group) or mobile learning is similar for both training methods.
