Background & Aims : The student nurse is required to acquire comprehensive knowledge of nursing with a strong motivation for learning. In this study, we tried to increase motivation for learning among the student nurse by the full and particular preannouncement of the exam questions in printed synopsis of lecture. Methods : The 1st year student nurses in the year 2004 (Men 12, Women 72) were included. We announced the exam questions in printed synopsis of lecture, and after exam, conducted a survey in the form of a questionnaire using Visual Analogue Scale about motivation for learning. Results : The questionnaire data established that the student nurse felt motivation for learning more strong in our lecture, than another lecture without preannouncement. The item "Hopes are raised to utilize the knowledge and learn in the clinical training" was extracted as one of the comment in student nurse, which freely expressed opinions of our lecture. Conclusions : We regard that the preannouncement of exam questions in printed synopsis of lecture is effective in increasing motivation for learning among the student nurse.
