Verification of the Effect of the Jigsaw Method on the Motivation to Learn Basic Nursing Skills Exercises by Objective Data.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the motivational effects of the jigsaw method on learners using objective data. The objective data utilized in this study consisted of e-learning access log data for 102 first-year nursing students, used as pre-exercise learning materials. Except for 1 of 29 contents, the frequency of access was significantly higher for students in the teacher role than those in the student role. Results suggested that assuming the role of the teacher in the jigsaw method motivates students to engage in learning.
