Any simplicity in education can lead to the loss of forces and facilities, and the failure to achieve educational goals or to reduce the quality of training. This issue is more important in nursing education because nurse education is empowered and competent and has the knowledge, attitude, and skills needed to maintain and improve the health of the community. Since the most important element in the intensive care unit is the nursing staff, it is constantly and in times of emergency that has the power to make immediate decisions and carry out different nursing processes. Therefore, attention to how the clinical education of nursing students during the training and apprenticeship in critical care units is very important because it can be important to shaping their careers in the future. This will not be achieved as long as effective teaching strategies-learning is used in clinical education in students.
The present study is a semi-experimental study, which includes all 6 and 7th-semester nursing students who are studying in the first semester of 1396-1397. First, all students will select by census and then divide randomly into intervention and control groups. The researcher in the intervention and control group will train about the topics related to the ICU internship by the conventional way and Jigsaw-based teaching model respectively. The data collection tool will include a multiple choice test for assessing cognitive skills and a checklist for assessing clinical students' skills. The data collected by the SPSS software version 19 will be examined. To access the research objectives, descriptive statistics (frequency distribution, mean, standard deviation), analytical statistics methods, and if necessary correlation will be used.
