213 students responded
A total of 213 students responded voluntarily to the questionnaire.
166 female (78%) and 47 male (22%)
Of the 213 participants, 166 were female (78%) and 47 were male (22%); 123 of them were first-year students (58%), with 81 in their second year (38%), and the remaining 9 further in their studies (4%).
Key findings
Students reported positive engagement and motivation ratings, and TAM acceptance scores were high across perceived usefulness, ease of use, and behavioral intention. Sex differences were largely non-significant, while module differences appeared in some evaluations.
Methodology
Instructors posted short TikTok videos at least four times weekly as complementary microlearning for nursing and related modules. Two hundred thirteen students voluntarily completed questionnaires on the microlearning environment and Technology Acceptance Model constructs.
Limitations
Positive questionnaire ratings are not objective learning-gain measures from a randomised controlled trial. Voluntary respondents in health-science modules may over-represent students already comfortable with social media.
