In the first stage, all students were explained about the research, and their consent was obtained. "Personal Information Form" was filled in by the students whose informed consents were obtained and who agreed to participate in the study under observation in the classroom environment. Then, the "Achievement Test 1" and the "IMTS" were administered to all students as a pretest. In the second stage, Roper Logan and Tierney's Life Model for Life Activities was taught interactively to all students by the same instructors for 2 hours for 1 week. The puzzle booklet previously created for this study was used in the third stage. The researchers made this booklet. In the fifth stage, "Achievement Test 2" was administered to the students in both the intervention and control groups 1 week after the training, and "IMTS" was administered as a post-test.

In the second stage, Roper Logan and Tierney's Life Model for Life Activities was taught interactively to all students by the same instructors for 2 hours for 1 week. In the Control Group (Branch A), routine lecturing continued without intervention in the fourth stage. In the fifth stage, "Achievement Test 2" was administered to the students in both the intervention and control groups 1 week after the training, and "IMTS" was administered as a post-test.

It was evaluated the effect of using puzzles as a teaching technique in a nursing practice course.

This form was prepared by the researchers in line with the literature and includes questions questioning the demographic characteristics of the students such as age, gender, socioeconomic level, etc. This form was used before the training.

It consists of 25 multiple choice questions on the topic of "Roper, Logan, and Tierney's Life Model for Life Activities". This form was used before the training.

It was used to measure motivations regarding instructional material. The scale was a 33-item, 5-point Likert type. The highest score that was obtained from the entire scale was 165, and the lowest score was 33. This form was used before and after the training.
