Mobile Learning in Nursing Practice Education: Applying Koole's FRAME Model By :Richard F. Kenny, Jocelyne M. C. Van Neste-Kenny, Caroline L. Park, Pamela A. Burton and Jan Meiers Chuck & Nouf 1
PurposeEvaluate • Evaluate whether the implementation of mobile devices in nursing practice education would be feasible and practical.
Summary • 2009 Article • Topic use of mobile devices for students of nursing • Issues: Greater pressure, faster pace, explosion of knowledge and technology, more client care with in the community. • Increasing workloads, isolation resulting from community based practice. • Nursing shortage, high demand, instructors spread thin. • Definitions and applications. (Very basic.) • Focus on indirect supervision; narrow view extremely risk adverse. • Overcoming problem of distance exclusively.
Literature Review • M-learning: defined as personalized, connected, interactive. • Quasi-permanent separation of instructor and learner. • The FRAME model (Framework for the Rational Analysis of Mobile Education. • Articles prior to 2009
The Frame Model Figure 1. Koole's FRAME model
Mobile Learning in Nursing and Nursing Education • Task lists • Memo pads • Calculators • Expense trackers • Calendar/date books • Patient manager • Clinical reference material • Address/phone book • Information exchange • E-mail • Internet access
what are the benefits of using the PDAs for nursing students ?
Critique • Improving the training aspect of the program • More details must be provided • The formative evaluation
Conclusions • “Use of mobile devices is both practical and desirable.” • Easy to learn and master overall. • Nursing software in easily portable device. • Students reported difficulty mastering devices in limited time • “Hospital culture” frowned on use of mobile devices.
Future Research • Extend research; voluntary pilot nature of study had limitations • Move from descriptive to theoretical basis • FRAME model not supported by empirical research, use a more established framework to examine these questions.
