Abstract

The use of applications for mobile devices has grown rapidly and has become a hotly debated issue in the field of education as well as student development. Flexibility, user-friendly, small, easy access and various other mobile technology capabilities make it valuable and a necessity nowadays. This study aims to identify nursing students using mobile applications for anatomy and physiology subjects in self-learning through a case study. This study was conducted in a faculty nursing and  helath science in Universiti Islam Melaka. Data collection was also done using interview instruments to 10 students from a population of 139 nursing students in UNIMEL. The results show that there are differences in self-learning for male and female students in the use of mobile applications. Therefore, nursing students still need to be given knowledge and motivation about self-learning because the use of technology such as mobile applications in teaching and learning is one of the teaching strategies for the development of metacognitive skills in solving mathematical problems.
