AB  - One of the main concerns of educators is the knowledge retention of information learned by students.
The purpose of this study was to compare the durability of professional ethics’ learning in two methods of
group discussion and multimedia software. This was a quasi-experimental study of two before and after groups
(group discussion and multimedia software).The study population consists of nursing and midwifery students
of Bushehr University of Medical Sciences who were in their 6th and 8th semester. The students entered the
two groups by random allocation. The number of samples in each group was N = 30 subjects. Pre- test were
immediately carried out before the groups were exposed to the online discussion board or multimedia. Post-test
occurred 4weeks after learning. The durability test utilizing the researcher developed questionnaire of
professional ethics, after confirming validity and reliability. The statistical tools used for data analysis was t-test
and ANOVA. Durability score in the group discussion was 10.38 wheras in the multimedia groups the udrability
score was 11.36. No significant difference was observed between the durability of group discussion and
multimedia method. In the findings, there was no indication of statistically significant difference between pretest
and durability of group discussion (p = 0.702) and no statistically significant difference between pre-test
and durability of multimedia (p = 1). Despite lack of obvious differences in students’ education methods, the
effect of multimedia method durability over time is more than that of group discussion method. You havnt
shown this in your study Educators can apply multimedia method as an effective method for durability.
