Brief summary: Innovative learning methods can be used in teaching nursing history. One of the most preferred among these methods is learning through games. It is known that today's Generation Z students prefer active learning methods and want to learn by having fun instead of learning by rote. It is reported that learning through games improves students' knowledge and skills and increases retention. One of the methods of learning through games is the "tell me" game. The "Tell Me" game involves the narrator explaining the words prepared specifically for the subject to a group of students without using prohibited words. Other students in the group try to know the word explained. Thus, both the student narrator and the student trying to know actively use their critical thinking and decision-making skills. This research aims to determine the effect of the tell-all game used in teaching nursing history on students' learning and opinions.

Detailed description: Nursing is a profession that emerged as a result of social needs and has very old roots. In order to evaluate the current situation of a profession, it is very important to know its history, the reasons for its emergence, the processes it has gone through from past to present, and its development processes. The contributions of the nursing profession to society and understanding its science and art dimensions can only be explained through the history of nursing. Therefore, the importance of professional history courses in nursing education cannot be denied. Teaching the history of nursing in detail strengthens the identity of nursing and develops students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills. It also allows nurses to demonstrate their self-efficacy. In addition, it helps develop a strong professional identity. In addition, improving nurses' historical knowledge directly affects their perception of the profession, attitude towards the profession, and nursing care. Correct historical awareness will enable nurses to learn from past practices and distinguish practices that are not suitable for nursing today. Therefore, it is very important to teach nursing history in undergraduate nursing education.The population of the research will consist of 200 second-year students enrolled in the Nursing History and Deontology course at the Faculty of Nursing of a state university in Turkey.Among the students who meet the criteria to participate in the research, 132 students will be determined by simple random sampling method by creating a simple random numbers table. The selected 132 students will be randomly assigned to two groups of 66 students (control and intervention) so that the overall academic achievement score of both groups is homogeneous.Data; It will be collected with the Introductory Features Form, Nursing History Knowledge Test and Nursing History Teaching Evaluation Form.
