About this study
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.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Jigsaw IV techniqueOther
The Intervention Group receives training in cardiothoracic examination using the Jigsaw IV technique.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention Group | Experimental | Intervention Group:They train with the Jigsaw IV technique. Receives: Other: Jigsaw IV technique |
| Control Group | No intervention | Control Group: They are educated in the traditional way. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Knowledge level for heart and thoracic examination
Measured: Before the application starts and 2 weeks after training with jigsaw IV
skill performance level for heart and thoracic examination
Measured: 2 weeks after training with jigsaw IV
Jigsaw Opinion Scale (JOS)
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.
Measured: immediately after the intervention
