背景：基于智能手机的学习或移动学习（移动学习）已成为教育环境中流行的学习和教学策略。混合式学习将移动学习与传统学习等策略相结合，通过创新的学习活动提供随时随地的持续培训。 目的：本研究的主要目的是检验使用传统材料和移动应用程序（iPOT 移动学习应用程序）的混合学习方法对就读健康科学一级课程的本科生的知识、动机、情绪状态和满意度的短期（即两周）效果。 方法：该研究设计为双臂、前瞻性、单盲、随机对照试验。符合纳入标准的受试者被随机分配到干预组（即传统讲座加上通过使用 iPOT 应用程序进行移动学习的混合学习）或对照组（即传统现场学习）。对于这两个群体，教育计划都涉及 13 节基础健康科学课程。 iPOT 应用程序是一款混合、多平台（即 iOS 和 Android）智能手机应用程序，具有交互式师生界面。结果通过多项选择题（即知识）、教学材料动机调查（即动机）、情绪状态量表（即情绪状态）和李克特式问卷（即满意度和语言能力）进行测量。 结果：共有 99 名学生入组，其中干预组 49 名（49%），对照组 50 名（51%）。两组之间在理论知识获取方面没有差异（P = 92）。然而，对于通过动机问卷进行的所有干预后评估项目，干预组受试者的得分显着高于对照组受试者（所有 P
Background: Smartphone-based learning, or mobile learning (m-learning), has become a popular learning-and-teaching strategy in educational environments. Blended learning combines strategies such as m-learning with conventional learning to offer continuous training, anytime and anywhere, via innovative learning activities.Objective: The main aim of this work was to examine the short-term (ie, 2-week) effects of a blended learning method using traditional materials plus a mobile app-the iPOT mobile learning app-on knowledge, motivation, mood state, and satisfaction among undergraduate students enrolled in a health science first-degree program.Methods: The study was designed as a two-armed, prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Subjects who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (ie, blended learning involving traditional lectures plus m-learning via the use of the iPOT app) or the control group (ie, traditional on-site learning). For both groups, the educational program involved 13 lessons on basic health science. The iPOT app is a hybrid, multiplatform (ie, iOS and Android) smartphone app with an interactive teacher-student interface. Outcomes were measured via multiple-choice questions (ie, knowledge), the Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (ie, motivation), the Profile of Mood States scale (ie, mood state), and Likert-type questionnaires (ie, satisfaction and linguistic competence).Results: A total of 99 students were enrolled, with 49 (49%) in the intervention group and 50 (51%) in the control group. No difference was seen between the two groups in terms of theoretical knowledge gain (P=. 92). However, the intervention group subjects returned significantly higher scores than the control group subjects for all postintervention assessed items via the motivation questionnaire (all P
