Abstract

  Although the number of reports related to computer–education materials for nursing and learning effectiveness increases each year, there has been a conspicuous lack of reports on the influence of the effectiveness and individual characteristics of computer–education materials for nursing on the evaluation of these educational materials. This effect should be clarified to resolve future issues related to learning to use computers.<br>1）User IDs and passwords were randomly assigned to 57 nursing students who were asked to complete the Locus of Control （LOC） scale and Computer Anxiety Scale （CAS） before the start of e–learning and a material evaluation survey after the completion of the study.<br>2）Comparison of study scores before and after the start of e–learning revealed an effect after learning, but no significant difference in learning effectiveness was evident between students with an external LOC and those with an internal LOC.<br>3）In terms of the relationship between the LOC and the characteristics of e–learning, students with an external LOC showed significantly higher scores on “aversion/avoidance” on CAS than did those with an internal LOC.<br>4）Regarding the effects of the LOC and computer anxiety on material evaluation, the results of path analysis showed that the LOC had a stronger effect on material evaluation than did “anxiety/aversion” on CAS.<br>5）The present study has demonstrated that students who are averse to or avoid computers tend to be anxious and tense and to have a sense of nonefficacy. Therefore, educational support should be provided to students with an external LOC.
