Enteral Nutrition Training with Cooperative Learning

The Effect of Cooperative Learning Approach on Nursing Students' Learning of Knowledge and Skills Regarding Enteral Nutrition: a Randomized Controlled Study

Nursing students; education on enteral nutrition has an important place. With cooperative learning, students will make their learning permanent by communicating with each other. This study is carried out to evaluate the effect of cooperative learning on the knowledge level of students.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Educational Problems
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: cooperative learning

Detailed Description

The cooperative learning method is structured on students' communication and interaction with each other. Many outcomes such as increasing students; academic success, critical thinking, verbal communication, taking responsibility for learning, improving their ability to take responsibility, increasing their ability to evaluate, and being open to feedback are among the benefits of cooperative learning. In cooperative learning, the basic principle is that students form groups and share their knowledge within each group regarding the basic knowledge and skills they want to learn, and then the groups interact with each other. With this method, students can take on learning responsibilities themselves, and they can also develop their knowledge sharing, collaboration and leadership skills within the group. Therefore, cooperative learning is an effective training method by strengthening self-directed learning, as well as supporting effective communication within team members. In a study conducted with nursing students using cooperative learning, it was observed that higher success, more positive relationships between students, and more psychological adaptation developed compared to traditional education methods. In international studies investigating the use of active learning strategies in nursing education, it has been concluded that collaborative learning is of great importance in transforming critical thinking ability, clinical performance, knowledge adequacy and nursing knowledge into clinical skills. In a similar vein, it has been emphasized that cooperative learning is an effective teaching method in improving the knowledge and psychomotor skill levels of nursing students regarding local drug applications and increasing the permanence of information. This study will focus on students; learning of knowledge and skills regarding enteral nutrition through cooperative learning method. A more memorable learning is aimed by students forming groups and transferring information both within and between groups.
