Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, we aimed to develop audiovisual teaching materials that help to improve students’ nursing skills, based on the results of neuroscientifically investigating learning tools for such students. Using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), we analyzed the differences in intracerebral activities in the frontal lobe between 4 different audiovisual teaching materials regarding nursing-skill education (images only, images plus subtitles, images plus voices, and images plus subtitles plus voices), which were noted when the subjects were using these materials. Significant differences were observed in changes in blood oxyhemoglobin levels in the frontal lobe among the 4 materials, which suggests differences in the stimulatory effects of these materials on brain activity in the frontal lobe.
