Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Motivation Scale Related to Instructional Material	"ÖMMÖ" is a 33-item four-dimensional (attention, suitability, trust, satisfaction) measurement tool that evaluates the entire course in order to measure motivation towards the teaching material, developed by Keller based on the ARCS (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction) Model, and adapted into Turkish by Dinçer and Doğanay. The original scale contains 36 items. The scale was prepared in a 5-point Likert type and is scored as "Very True" 5, "True" 4, "Moderately True" 3, "Somewhat True" 2, and "Not True" 1. The highest score that can be obtained from the entire scale is 165, and the lowest score is 33. The highest score that can be obtained from the attention dimension is 50, and the lowest score is 10. The highest score that can be obtained from the suitability dimension is 40, and the lowest score is 8. The highest score that can be obtained from the confidence dimension is 45, and the lowest score is 9. The highest score that can be obtained from the satisfaction dimensio	6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
"Achievement Test 1" and "Achievement Test 2"	Multiple choice questions were prepared by the researchers after a literature review. The questions in "Achievement Test 1" and "Achievement Test 2" related to the subject of "Parenteral drug applications" were created in a way that they would be different from each other. After the questions were created, expert opinions were received from a total of 10 faculty members working in the nursing fundamentals department (7) and nursing education department (3). After the necessary suggestions for the questions presented to the experts were arranged, the achievement tests were finalized. 25 of the 50 multiple choice questions were duplicated as many times as the number of students for "Achievement Test 1" and "Achievement Test 2" and kept ready before the application. "Achievement Test 1" was applied to the students who would participate in the study by taking them to separate classes. The evaluation of the achievement tests was made out of 100 points. For this purpose, the students' total	6 months
