Development of materials for computer assisted instruction in the field of maternity nursing

摘要本研究的目的是为护生开发电脑辅助教学（Computer Assisted Instruction， CAI）教材。开发的CAI教材内容为新生儿和孕妇的观察。我们从第一年开始编制了第二年新生儿观察CAI资料，从第二年开始编制了第三年孕妇观察CAI资料。我们使用Visual basic作为开发语言，使得数据的快速更新和程序的易于更改成为可能。我们使用不易出现噪音的DAT （Digital Audio Tape）录制声音，并使用DVC （Digital Video Cassette）拍摄动画。在护理领域，一些CAI材料发展至今。这次开发的CAI材料与以往有很大的不同，它采用了声音和动画。这样开发出来的CAI材料在开发后由护生进行评价。大约2/3的学生评价CAI材料对自主学习有帮助。由此可见，本次开发的CAI材料具有一定的实用性。

The purpose of this study is to develop CAI (Computer Assisted Instruction) materials for nursing students to learn by using a computer. The contents of developed CAI materials are the observation of newborn baby and pregnant woman. We developed CAI materials for the observation of newborn baby on the second year from the first year, and CAI materials for the observation of pregnant woman on the third year from the second year. As a development language we used Visual basic that is made possible the rapid renewal of the data and the easy change of the program. We recorded sound by using DAT (Digital Audio Tape) that noise doesn't appear easily, and took pictures of the animate cartoon by using DVC (Digital Video Cassette). In the nursing field, some CAI materials are developed up to today. The CAI materials developed this time is greatly different from them in the point that sound and an animate cartoon was adopted. The CAI materials that were developed like this were evaluated by nursing students after the development. As the result of about 2/3 of the students evaluated that the CAI materials were useful for the independent learning. Therefore, it is clear that the CAI materials developed this time can stand utility to a certain extent.
