The Effect of Case-Based Learning Method on Perceived Competence and Critical Thinking Levels

Nursing secondary school students were randomized into two groups. Case-based training was given to the experimental group, and classical training was given to the control group. Critical thinking scale and self-efficacy scale both before and after the training were applied to both groups. Posttest scores were calculated and compared for both groups. The focus group consultation with 10 people from the experimental group was carried out and the opinions and suggestions about the initiative were taken and evaluated. Permission was obtained in writing from all institutions before and after the participants, and the study was conducted by creating ethical conditions.Four separate training cases were given to the experimental group. the control group continued the classical training and no intervention was made.
