BACKGROUND: One of the most important ways to acquire knowledge in the present age is educationbased on new technologies, including mobile learning. The purpose of this study was to investigatethe 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 Centrein Mashhad during 2019–2020 were enrolled. The participants were randomly divided into twogroups: 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 monthsafter 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 indiceswere confirmed. Content validity of data collection tools verified by experts and its reliability wascalculated to be 0.78. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS‑25, using descriptive (mean andstandard deviation [SD]) and analytical statistical tests (independent t‑test).RESULTS: The results showed that 2 days and 2 months after the intervention, learning, and retentionrate was significantly higher in the mobile learning based on Gagne model group in comparison toconventional lecture group (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the intervention group was generally satisfiedwith the mobile training method.CONCLUSION: Mobile learning based on Gagne model is recommended for improving learning,retention among health‑care workers
