Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine if collaborative activities were effective in improving clinical reasoning skills. Seventeen second-year nursing students in their second medical/surgical clinical rotation participated in the study. Results indicated that students’ overall scores for clinical reasoning increased significantly with collaboration. Given the evidence that students can improve their reasoning skills when exposed to collaborative learning, nursing education should consider restructuring their programs to include such teaching strategies.
