Brief Summary

Innovative learning methods can be used in teaching nursing history. One of the most preferred among these methods is learning through games. It is known that today's Generation Z students prefer active learning methods and want to learn by having fun instead of learning by rote. It is reported that learning through games improves students' knowledge and skills and increases retention. One of the methods of learning through games is the "tell me" game. The "Tell Me" game involves the narrator explaining the words prepared specifically for the subject to a group of students without using prohibited words. Other students in the group try to know the word explained. Thus, both the student narrator and the student trying to know actively use their critical thinking and decision-making skills. This research aims to determine the effect of the tell-all game used in teaching nursing history on students' learning and opinions.

Study Arms (2)

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

For six weeks, theoretical training on the history of Nursing will be given by the researchers. Then, all the topics learned in the course will be repeated using question-answer and discussion methods, using questions prepared by the researchers, with the control group for four weeks. After this process, carried out by one of the researchers, is completed, the students will be given a nursing history knowledge test (posttest) and a nursing history teaching evaluation form and asked to fill it out.

Interversion group

EXPERIMENTAL

For six weeks, theoretical training on the history of Nursing will be given by the researchers. Then, the intervention group will be played the tell-all game with game cards prepared by the researchers for four weeks. After this process, carried out by one of the researchers, is completed, the students will be given a nursing history knowledge test (posttest) and a nursing history teaching evaluation form and asked to fill it out.
