Computers increasingly are being integrated into nursing education. One method of integration is through computer managed instruction (CMI). Recently, technology has become available that allows the integration of keypad questions into CMI. This brings a new type of interactivity between students and teachers into the classroom. The purpose of this study was to evaluate differences in achievement between a control group taught by traditional classroom lecture (TCL) and an experimental group taught using CMI and keypad questions. Both control and experimental groups consisted of convenience samples of junior nursing students in a baccalaureate program taking a medical/surgical nursing course. Achievement was measured by three instructor-developed multiple choice examinations. Findings demonstrated that although the experimental group demonstrated increasingly higher test scores as the semester progressed, no statistical difference was found in achievement between the two groups. One reason for this may be phenomenon of vampire video. Initially, the method of presentation overshadowed the content. As students became desensitized to the method, they were able to focus and absorb more content. This study suggests that CMI and keypads are a viable teaching option for nursing education. It is equal to TCL in student achievement and provides a new level of interaction in the classroom setting.
计算机越来越多地被整合到护理教育中。一种整合方法是通过计算机管理教学（CMI）。最近，出现了一种技术，可将键盘问题整合到CMI中。这为课堂带来了一种新型的师生互动。本研究的目的是评估传统课堂讲授（TCL）授课的对照组与使用CMI和键盘问题授课的实验组在成绩上的差异。对照组和实验组均由参加医学/外科护理课程的护理学本科项目低年级学生的便利样本组成。成绩通过教师编制的三份多项选择题考试来衡量。研究结果表明，尽管实验组的考试成绩随着学期的推进越来越高，但两组在成绩上没有发现统计学差异。造成这种情况的一个原因可能是“吸血鬼视频”现象。最初，呈现方式掩盖了内容。随着学生对这种方式变得不那么敏感，他们能够集中精力并吸收更多内容。本研究表明，CMI和键盘是护理教育中一种可行的教学选择。在学生成绩方面它与TCL相当，并在课堂环境中提供了一个新的互动层面。
