Abstract

This study was carried out semi-experimentally to evaluate the effect of concept map basedteaching on nursing students’ problem solving skills. The students who took the course in fall term were determined as control and those who took it in spring term were determined as experimental group . Both groups were simultaneously administered Student Information Form and Problem Solving Scale (PSS) at the beginning of the fall term, and PSS at the end of the fall and spring terms.It was also found that PSS increased significantly at the beginning of the course period in the experimental group, and that although there was not a statistically significant difference between the groups at the end of the term regarding PSS mean scores,There was a positive and significant relationship between the increase in academic achievement and problem solving skills of the experimental group students. It is recommended that concept map based education should be used as a method providing effective learning in nursing education to enhance problem solving skills and academic success positively.
