Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Self-Efficacy Perception Scale

  In order to collect data about students' self-efficacy perceptions, the 8-item self-efficacy perception scale in the motivational beliefs dimension of the "Motivational Strategies for Learning Scale" was applied. The scale is prepared as a 7-point Likert type, and the lowest score can be 8 and the highest score can be 56. Cronbach's alpha value for the Turkish form of the self-efficacy perception scale was found to be 0.92. In order to use the Self-Efficacy Perception Scale, permission will be requested via e-mail from author, who carries out the validity and reliability of the scale.

control group

NO INTERVENTION

The control group consisted of students enrolled in the Care of a Child with Special Needs course in the 2021-2022 fall semester and enrolled in one of the branches. Students were informed about the research in the first week of the 2021-2022 fall semester, their written consent was obtained, and they were allowed to fill out the introductory information form and the Self-Efficacy Perception Scale (pre-test) in the second week. Routine course content was followed with these students throughout the course period. No intervention was made to the students. The course process was not disrupted during the research. Midterm and final exams were held on the dates determined by the faculty in order to evaluate the success of the course. The grade point averages of the students were evaluated by taking the exam table from the student information system. In the last week of the 2021-2022 fall semester, students were allowed to fill out the Self-Efficacy Perception Scale (posttest) again.

pocket cards group

EXPERIMENTAL

The study group consisted of students enrolled in the Care of a Child with Special Needs course in the 2021-2022 spring semester. Introductory information form and Self-Efficacy Perception Scale were filled out. A common day was determined with the students and a 15-minute training was given on the example of preparing a pocket card. A total of nine groups of seven people were formed and they were prepared for the next week. At the end of each lesson, student groups were asked to prepare a pocket card on a 22 cm piece of paper. A WhatsApp group and an Instagram page were established to check whether the students had made their pocket cards and, if so, whether it was accurate. The cards were shared in their final form on Instagram and each student was told to turn on page notifications and like the post when they saw it so that they could instantly follow the post. In the last week, students were asked to fill out the Self-Efficacy Perception Scale again.
