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.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessactive learningcooperative learningeducational interventionstatistical literacystudent engagementArticle10.1097/NNE.0000000000001852504E207E212401843742-s2.0-105004028606Q1WOS:001512612300008Q1
