Does the use of puzzles in nursing education improve students' academic achievement? 2. Does the use of puzzles enhance students' motivation towards instructional materials?

Detailed description

There are minimal studies on the use of puzzles in the literature. On the other hand, the importance of using puzzles as a teaching technique in education is increasing daily. This study evaluated the effect of using puzzles as a teaching technique in a nursing practice course. Despite the increasing importance of using puzzles in education, the limited research in nursing education shows the gap in this field. Especially with this technique, the student's knowledge level is expected to increase, and learning will be permanent in a critically important course in which nursing practices are taught. On the other hand, learning will become fun using the puzzle.
