designing and building a mobile educational software application for the laboratory of morphology and physiology of medically important insects and assessing students' satisfaction levels

Background: as the new generation becomes increasingly drawn to technology, using mobile phone applications for education can enhance learning effectiveness.objectives: this study aims to design and create mobile-based software to learn about the morphology and physiology of medically important insects. it also investigates user satisfaction with this educational software.methods: this applied research was conducted using a developmental method consisting of two stages: designing and creating software for the android operating system and evaluating the level of satisfaction through an electronic questionnaire administered to 56 biology and disease vector control students. the statistical tests used in this project included the mann-whitney test, the kruskal-wallis's test, and the independent samples t-test.results: there was no significant difference between the genders of the students in their responses to the graphics, educational content, and overall grades. there was also no significant difference between the students' entry year and their responses in the graphic and educational sections or their total scores. similarly, no significant difference was observed between the age groups of the students in their responses to the graphic test, educational content, and total score (p-value = 0.576, p-value = 0.923).conclusion: this software comprehensively covers topics related to the morphology and physiology of medically important insects and disease vectors. it provides information on organism identification and methods of combating them, making it useful for students and researchers.
