Teaching Caring Through '1 Concept-1 Minute

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a gamified learning strategy called "1 Concept-1 Minute" on nursing students' understanding of care concepts and their learning motivation. Conducted within the context of a Health Assessment course in a nursing education program, this quasi-experimental research investigates whether game-based learning methods enhance students' cognitive engagement and comprehension in clinical education. Given the global need for competent nursing professionals and the limitations in clinical placements, innovative, student-centered approaches such as this game are crucial to improving learning outcomes. The study is based on the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) framework to interpret motivational impacts.
