Abstract: The goal of this research was to develop a Sequence of Events Creation Support System for nursing students. We first conducted a student attitude survey on Sequence of Events to identify points that the students felt were difficult. The three main problem areas were 1) thinking about correlations, 2) drawing diagrams, and 3) collecting references. We therefore designed the system that would help students overcome these difficulties. The system, which makes use of Microsoft Excel VBA, enables students to easily draw, review, and revise Sequence of Events. We examined Sequence of Events created using the Sequence of Events Creation Support System and created by hand to determine the differences in the content of the Sequence of Events created and in the creation process. Experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the system. Next, we conducted lectures and exercises using the system in two 1st year courses at a nursing college and we conducted a questionn!
aire survey to evaluate the effectiveness of the system. Based on the results of this evaluation, we confirmed that the opinions obtained were for the most part positive.
