Title: The Effect of Jigsaw IV Learning Technique on Nursing Students' Knowledge and Skills in Heart and Thorax Assessment Objective: This study aims to evaluate the impact of education using the Jigsaw IV learning technique on the knowledge and skills of nursing students in performing physical assessments of the heart and thorax. Methodology: A randomized controlled trial will be conducted with 70 second-year nursing students at Baskent University. Participants will be divided into an intervention group (n=35), receiving Jigsaw IV-based education, and a control group (n=35), receiving traditional education. Data collection, scheduled between 22.02.2025 and 22.05.2025, will include a Personal Information Form, Pretest/Posttest for Knowledge Assessment, Skill Assessment Form, and Jigsaw Opinion Scale. Knowledge levels will be analyzed using an independent samples t-test, skill levels using the Mann-Whitney U test, and students' perceptions of the Jigsaw IV method through frequency and percentage analysis. Expected Outcome:The study will assess whether the Jigsaw IV method enhances students' knowledge and skills in heart and thorax assessment, contributing to the evaluation of its effectiveness in nursing education.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Knowledge level for heart and thoracic examination | Before the application starts and 2 weeks after training with jigsaw IV | — |
| skill performance level for heart and thoracic examination | 2 weeks after training with jigsaw IV | — |
| Jigsaw Opinion Scale (JOS) | immediately after the intervention | Jigsaw Opinion Scale (JGÖ) developed by Şimşek (2007) was used to determine the students' opinions about the Jigsaw method. The 14 items of JGÖ are in the 5-point Likert type as Very Effective, Somewhat More Effective, Equally Effective, Less Effective and Much Less Effective for comparing the jigsaw technique with the traditional learning method. The fifteenth item is open-ended and evaluates the students' positive and negative opinions about the technique. The internal consistency coefficient of JGÖ was determined as 0.70 in the original study. The total Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale for the sample group of this study was found to be 0.76. |
