Brief Summary

Second-year nursing students are randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The case-based teaching method was applied to the experimental group and the classical teaching method was applied to the control group. After the initiative, both groups observed differences in perceived competence and critical thinking levels. In addition, the focus groups were interviewed with the experimental group and the opinions and suggestions about the initiative were evaluated qualitatively and the total mix method was used.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• CRITICAL THINKING TENDENCY SCALE

  It was developed by a Turkish researcher and reliability of validity was done. The scale covers 49.161% of the variance. Factor loads range from 0.33 to 0.71. Sub-dimensions: metacity, flexibility, systematicness, determination and patience, open mindedness. The scale consists of 49 questions in total. Scale your scale; I totally agree (5), I mostly agree (4), Partially agree (3), I mostly do not agree (2), I never agree (1). The test retest correlation coefficient of the scale was 0.761 and the correlation coefficient between the two half scores was 0.95. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient is 0.963. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed with the AMOS program (Ratio = 2778.981, Sd = 1073, X2 / Sd = 2.590, GFI = 0.903, CFI = 0.932, RMSEA = 0.038). The total score ranges from 49 to 245, with a high score indicating a high tendency to think critically

• Effect of case-based learning method on self-efficacy level

  The German version was originally used by Schwarzer. It was originally prepared as 20 items, then reduced to 10 items. Over time, it has been translated and used in more than twenty languages. Item total correlations are between 0.30 and 0.77. Reliability of Turkish validity was done; Alpha internal consistency coefficient was 0.79-0.63, total alpha coefficient was 0.83. Test-retest reliability coefficient of the scale is r = 0.80, p \<0.001. Factor analys's results of the Turkish version show that it accounts for 47% of the total variance. The item total score correlation coefficients are between 0.37 and 0.59. The items of the scale have scores ranging from 1 to 4, with a total score ranging from 10 to 40. High score is considered as high self-efficacy perception.
