Overview

This research aims to examine the effect of the Six Thinking Hats Technique application on empathic thinking, critical thinking motivation and problem solving skills in nursing students. In the study, which will be conducted with a pre-test-post-test control group experimental design, the contribution of case discussions made with the Six Thinking Hats Technique to the cognitive and emotional skills of the students will be evaluated.

Nursing education is a dynamic process where theoretical knowledge and clinical practices are integrated; critical thinking, clinical decision-making and problem-solving skills are systematically developed. In this process, in the rapidly changing information society, it is of great importance that nursing students are trained not only as individuals who can access information, but also as professionals who can analyze, interpret information, develop alternative solutions and think in multiple ways. The six thinking hats technique, which aims to develop multi-dimensional thinking skills in nursing students within a systematic structure, is considered an effective teaching method that supports cognitive and emotional development. Within the scope of this technique, it is aimed for individuals to evaluate events and situations in multiple dimensions through six different colored hats, each of which represents a specific way of thinking, such as emotional evaluation, critical thinking, impartial analysis, optimistic perspective, creative thinking and process management.
