Introducing students to research: the road to success

Introduction of the terminology associated with research can overwhelm both students and faculty. In this article, I describe an interactive method for teaching undergraduate nursing students about the concepts involved in the research process. The "Research Road to Success" is a board game created to promote active learning using repetition, peer collaboration, group dynamics, and questioning. The game has been part of the curriculum for 3 years, with positive results. Nurse educators and students can benefit from the incorporation of creative methods to stimulate interest in and understanding of nursing research.
