This study evaluates satisfaction with the mobile phone education program(MPEP) for older adults, which employes one-to-one teaching method. This study has two features. First, evaluation is performed from multiple perspectives including older participants themselves, all educators who were an one-to-one teacher of using mobiles for each older participant, and researchers who designed the study and developed the MPEP. Second, this study posits triangulation approach by including both quantitative and qualitative evaluation method. Specifically, four types of data were utilized: focus group interview was performed for older participants and educators respectively, field notes which described the process of the MPEP and which were written by a researcher, qualitative session evaluation forms written by each educator, quantitative post-questionnaires for older participants and educators respectively. Quantitative data analyses indicate that both older participants and educators were very satisfied with one-to-one teaching method. No difference of quantitative evaluation between older participants and educators existed, and program duration, session hours, session places, session materials exhibited lower satisfaction scores while program contents, session interval, homework after session had higher satisfaction scores. Analyses of qualitative data were useful for revealing attitudes and opinions of older participants and educators toward the MPEP. The results of the study were discussed and future research directions were suggested.
