Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of an escape room simulation on educational leadership skills among undergraduate nursing students. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does participation in an escape room simulation improve nursing students' educational leadership skills, including visionary, instructional, and scientific leadership? Are there differences in educational leadership outcomes between students who participate in an escape room simulation and those who receive traditional teaching methods? Researchers will compare an escape room simulation to traditional teaching methods to determine whether the simulation-based approach is more effective in improving educational leadership skills. Participants will: Be assigned to either an escape room simulation group or a traditional teaching group Complete the Educational Leadership Scale before and after the intervention Participate in a single escape room simulation session (experimental group only)

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Escape Room Simulation	An escape room-based simulation implemented in a nursing laboratory setting. Participants work in small groups to solve scenario-based challenges within a limited time. The intervention is designed to support the development of educational leadership skills through experiential learning and problem-solving activities.
OTHER	Traditional Teaching Methods	Participants receive traditional teaching methods without the use of simulation or game-based learning during the study period.
