Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • H1- Using the 7E learning model in teaching caring behaviors affects the course success of nursing students.

    An academic achievement test will be administered to participating students one week before starting the care behaviors education in line with the 7E learning model and one week after the training is completed.

    one week before, one week after completion

  • H2- Using the 7E learning model in teaching caring behaviors affects the permanent learning of nursing students.

    An academic achievement test will be administered to participating students one week before starting the care behaviors training in line with the 7E learning model and 5 weeks after the training is completed.

    5 weeks after completion of training

  • H3- The use of the 7E learning model in teaching caring behaviors affects the motivation levels of nursing students.

    Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS) will be administered to the participating students three times: one week before starting the care behaviors teaching given in line with the 7E learning model, one week after the training was completed, and five weeks after the training was completed.

    one week before, one week after completion of training and 5 weeks after completion of training

  • H4- The use of the 7E learning model in teaching caring behaviors affects the critical thinking skills of nursing students.

    The California Critical Thinking Disposition Scale (CCTDS) will be administered to participating students three times: one week before starting the care behaviors education given in line with the 7E learning model, one week after the completion of the training, and 5 weeks after the completion of the training.

    one week before, one week after completion of training and 5 weeks after completion of training

Interventions

7E learning model7E learning cycle is a teaching model that encourages students to be active, to think about the findings they obtain, to interpret their findings according to their initial plans and to predict them in new situations. This model provides students with opportunities for discussion and interaction. The model is designed based on constructivist theory. The guiding concept of constructivism is that later learning is greatly influenced by previous knowledge; therefore, learning should be based on the interaction of old and new knowledge. 7E learning cycle model consists of seven steps: Reveal, Participate, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate and Extend. According to past studies, 7E model is more effective in developing students than traditional learning models.

Model Details: The sample of the study consists of 70 second-year nursing students studying at the Nursing Department of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University, who have chosen the Development of Caring Behaviors course as an elective course and will be divided into sections A and B (without any intervention) through the system. In the study, one section will be selected by flipping a coin by someone other than the researcher using the simple randomization method and the other section will be the experimental group and the other section will be the control group. The study will be designed so that the students will not know whether they are in the intervention or control group, and one-way blinding will be applied in the study.
