Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship between nursing students’ attitudes towards learning and effects of Kinect self-learning system for skill acquisition. Five students received feedback after each performance from the Kinect self-learning system. The students’ performance was evaluated before (pre-test) and after (post-test) using 21 checkpoints. In order to investigate the students’ attitudes towards learning, a survey questionnaire was distributed before the study. Based on the score, each student’s attitudes towards learning were identified as either “active” or “passive”. The difference between the pre-test and post-test scores for each student was calculated. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients were calculated of the difference in the number of learning characteristics. There was a strong negative correlation between learning characteristic (Passive learning attitude) and the difference of score (r=-.80 p=.11). From this study, it is recommended that the Kinect self-learning system is not effective for skill acquisition for students whose attitudes were passive.
