Sumario:BACKGROUND: One of the most important ways to acquire knowledge in the present age is education based on new technologies, including mobile learning. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a multi-stage mobile training based on Gagne instructional design on learning, retention, and satisfaction of health volunteers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this interventional study, 112 health volunteers a Health Centre in Mashhad during 2019–2020 were enrolled. The participants were randomly divided into two groups: mobile education based on Gagne model (n = 56) and conventional lecture (n = 56). A researcher-made questionnaire was completed by the eligible subjects before, after, and 2 months after the intervention to assess their learning, retention and satisfaction in educational methods. Face validity, content validity, and reliability of the data collection tool and model fitness indices were confirmed. Content validity of data collection tools verified by experts and its reliability was calculated to be 0.78. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS-25, using descriptive (mean and standard deviation [SD]) and analytical statistical tests (independent t-test). RESULTS: The results showed that 2 days and 2 months after the intervention, learning, and retention rate was significantly higher in the mobile learning based on Gagne model group in comparison to conventional lecture group (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the intervention group was generally satisfied with the mobile training method. CONCLUSION: Mobile learning based on Gagne model is recommended for improving learning, retention among health-care workers
