Summary

Title: The Effect of Jigsaw IV Learning Technique on Nursing Students' Knowledge and Skills in Heart and Thorax Assessment Objective: This study aims to evaluate the impact of education using the Jigsaw IV learning technique on the knowledge and skills of nursing students in performing physical assessments of the heart and thorax. Methodology: A randomized controlled trial will be conducted with 70 second-year nursing students at Baskent University. Participants will be divided into an intervention group (n=35), receiving Jigsaw IV-based education, and a control group (n=35), receiving traditional education. Data collection, scheduled between 22.02.2025 and 22.05.2025, will include a Personal Information Form, Pretest/Posttest for Knowledge Assessment, Skill Assessment Form, and Jigsaw Opinion Scale. Knowledge levels will be analyzed using an independent samples t-test, skill levels using the Mann-Whitney U test, and students' perceptions of the Jigsaw IV method through frequency and percentage analysis. Expected Outcome:The study will assess whether the Jigsaw IV method enhances students' knowledge and skills in heart and thorax assessment, contributing to the evaluation of its effectiveness in nursing education.
