Aims:
The present study was conducted to apply and examine case-based learning (CBL) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education concept in the training of nursing student's clinical thinking.
Design:
A randomized experimental design with non-equivalent group pretest-posttest.
Methods:
Participants were requested to participant in either of the two programmes: traditional education programme as a control group or CBL combined with STEM education concept (the STEM group). Questionnaires of critical thinking, self-directed learning, self-efficacy were administered before and after the experiment.
Results:
Differences between the STEM group and control group were observed in critical thinking, self-directed learning, self-efficacy and career choice over one semester. Accordingly, CBL combined with STEM education concept enhanced the nursing student's clinical thinking.
