Background:Negative attitudes toward statistics can hinder nursing students' performance, but the cooperative Jigsaw technique can boost collaboration, improving both achievement and attitudes.Purpose:This study explored the effect of the Jigsaw technique on nursing students' achievement in statistics and their attitudes toward the subject.Methods:This research used a pretest-posttest control group experimental design. The experimental group was taught using the Jigsaw technique.Results:The Jigsaw technique significantly improved nursing students' statistical achievement compared to traditional methods, and this effect persisted in the follow-up test. Additionally, the Jigsaw method led to a positive shift in students' attitudes toward statistics, while no changes were observed in the control group.Conclusions:The Jigsaw technique is an effective method for improving statistical achievement and attitudes in nursing students. It can be incorporated into nursing education to enhance performance and reduce negative perceptions.
