This study introduces a computer-based program using concept maps to teach sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Students showed better information retention and found the program engaging and easy to understand.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Informatics
  • Computer-Assisted Instruction

Background:

  • Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) pose a significant public health challenge.
  • Effective educational tools are crucial for disseminating accurate information on STDs, including Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
  • Traditional linear learning formats may not optimize knowledge retention for complex health topics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a computer-based educational software program for teaching college students about six STDs.
  • To assess the effectiveness of a concept map-based knowledge framework in enhancing student learning and retention of STD information.
  • To explore student perceptions of a novel, self-directed learning approach to STD education.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Development of a computer-based "Smartbook" program utilizing a Hypercard Expert System shell on a Macintosh computer.
  • Information organization based on a non-linear concept map framework, allowing self-directed user navigation.
  • Comparative quantitative analysis against a control program and qualitative assessment of student user experience.

Main Results:

  • Students using the concept map-based program demonstrated consistently better information retention compared to a control group.
  • Qualitative feedback indicated that students found the conceptually-arranged knowledge base easy to understand, engaging, and enjoyable.
  • The self-directed, non-linear format was perceived as a key factor in the program's success.

Conclusions:

  • Computer-based educational programs employing concept maps can significantly improve student retention of STD information.
  • A non-linear, self-directed learning approach enhances user engagement and comprehension in health education.
  • This innovative educational strategy holds promise for improving STD literacy among college students and nursing professionals.
