Objective:
To examine the effect of puzzle-based reinforcement on nursing students' academic achievement and motivation toward instructional materials.
Method:
To conduct a cluster-randomized controlled trial with 70 first-year nursing students allocated to intervention and control groups. Both groups received a 2-hour interactive lecture on Roper, Logan, and Tierney's Life Model. The intervention group completed a one-week puzzle-based reinforcement program, while the control group received no additional intervention. Data were collected using achievement tests and the Instructional Material Motivation Scale and analyzed using paired-samples t-tests, independent-samples t-tests, and regression analysis.
Results:
Knowledge scores increased in the intervention group, whereas knowledge scores decreased in the control group. Between-group comparisons and regression analysis showed that puzzle-based reinforcement was associated with higher post-test knowledge scores and relatively higher motivation subscale scores compared with the control group (p < 0.01).
Conclusion:
The findings suggest that puzzle-based reinforcement may be a valuable instructional approach, associated with positive learning outcomes and relatively higher motivation toward instructional materials in nursing education.
Trial Registration:
ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT07090850.

Steps in the Modeling Process
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...
