Brief Summary

Background: This study was conducted to determine the effect of the Innovative Thinking Development Program (ITDP) on the innovative approaches, critical thinking and perceived competence of nursing students.The study has a non-randomized, control group pre-test-post-test experimental research design. The study population consisted of senior students in the Nursing Department of two similar faculties in the academic calendar 2019-2020 (n=164). In the study, the ITDB developed by the researcher was applied to the students in the experimental group. The research data were collected online using a 'Personal Information Form', 'Individual Innovativeness Scale', 'Marmara Critical Thinking Trends Scale', 'Self-Efficacy Scale' and 'Success Test 'developed by the researcher. Independent samples t test, Kruskal Wallis, Wilcoxon, ANOVA tests were used in the analysis of the data. Institutional permissions and ethics committee approval was obtained for the research. Hypothesis: H0: The innovative approaches, critical thinking tendencies and competence perceptions of nursing students included in ITDP do not change. H1: Individual innovativeness, critical thinking disposition and self-efficacy scale scores of nursing students in the experimental group will change after ITDP.

Intervention Group

EXPERIMENTAL

After determining the experimental and control groups, pre-tests were performed.The program was applied to students in the experimental group.The program was implemented for six weeks based on the theme of innovative thinking.The program developed a training program based on the Tyler Taba model. This model, which is often used in developing educational programs, includes all the necessary steps to teach and accept a new concept. In the ITDP training program, an interactive educational content has been created in which knowledge will be transformed into behavior.In the training, subjects were taught in units, workshops were held, seminars were given. Post-tests were applied at the end of the training.
