About

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the education given to nursing students with the Jigsaw technique and traditional method on their knowledge and attitudes about childhood epileptic seizure management.

Full description

It is important for nursing students, future health professionals, to gain sufficient professional knowledge and positive attitudes about epileptic seizure management in order to improve the quality of care they provide to children with epilepsy. Studies emphasize that the nursing education curriculum should focus more on education regarding epilepsy and epileptic seizures, and that different educational methods should be used to positively develop nursing students' knowledge and attitudes towards patients with epilepsy. One of the collaborative learning methods used in nursing education is the Jigsaw technique. Jigsaw technique is a student-centered and collaborative learning method that improves knowledge, skills and attitudes in nursing education.

Experimental group

Description:

Students in the Jigsaw technique group are divided into 5 home groups consisting of 8 people.Each student in the groups was randomly included to be an expert on a subject under 8 headings.In the home group, students assigned to different subject specializations were combined with students selected as experts in the same subject. This group was called the "expert group".The experts came together a week later, explained what they had learned on the common topic, discussed the topics they had taken notes while researching and reading in expert groups, and noted any additional points or missing parts they had learned. After completing their tasks in the expert groups, students returned to their home groups. They explained the information they learned in the expert group to each other in the home group, and as a home group, they brought together different topics and reported the main topic.
