Abstract

This study was conducted to determine students' experiences and opinions about the questions in the semi-structured interview form and the teaching of cardiovascular emergencies with the puzzle technique. Twelve students who received training on cardiovascular emergencies were randomly selected for the study and the evaluation was made under four themes. These are the emotions felt while solving the puzzle, solving the puzzle with its benefits, solving the puzzle with its challenges, and the skills I developed with the puzzle. The students who participated in the study said that puzzles make the lessons fun, facilitate learning, increase motivation and increase the retention of information. As a result, it shows that puzzles play an important role both as a fun way of spending time and in learning and development processes.

Özet

Bu çalışma yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formunda yer alan sorular ve kardiyovasküler acil durumların bulmaca tekniği ile öğretimine ilişkin öğrencilerin deneyim ve görüşlerini belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Araştırmaya kardiyovasküler acil durumlar konusunda eğitim alan 12 öğrenci randomizasyon yöntemiyle seçilmiş ve değerlendirme dört tema altında yapılmıştır. Bunlar, bulmacayı çözerken hissedilen duygular, faydaları ile bulmaca çözmek, zorlukları ile bulmaca çözmek ve bulmaca ile geliştirdiğim becerilerdir. Araştırmaya katılan öğrenciler bulmacaların dersleri eğlenceli hale getirdiğini, öğrenmeyi kolaylaştırdığını, motivasyonlarını artırdığını ve bilgilerin akılda kalıcılığını artırdığını söylemiştir. Sonuç olarak bulmacaların hem eğlenceli bir zaman geçirme aracı olarak hem de öğrenme ve gelişme süreçlerinde önemli bir rol oynadığını göstermektedir.
