Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
After assigning the students to the intervention and control groups, a puzzle activity will be conducted with the intervention group following a lecture. In preparing the puzzles, the researchers will use free online puzzle-making tools (e.g., https://crosswordlabs.com/). The puzzles will include questions related to basic knowledge and concepts concerning gerontological nursing competence. During the puzzle-solving process, the researcher will be present in the classroom and provide guidance to students when needed. After students complete the puzzles, the researcher will project the puzzle on the presentation screen and evaluate the answers through interactive discussion with the students. Upon completion of each puzzle, the researcher will collect the puzzles from the students to prevent contamination between the intervention and control groups. A post-test will be administered to students at the end of the puzzle activity.

Control group
After explaining the purpose and implementation of the study to the nursing students in the control group, the "Descriptive Information Form," the "Willingness to Work with Older People Scale," and the "Gerontological Nursing Competence Scale" will be administered. No intervention will be applied to the control group. At the end of the third week, the "Willingness to Work with Older People Scale" and the "Gerontological Nursing Competence Scale" will be re-administered.
