Overview

This is a semi-experimental study. The study aimed to examine the effects of an educational escape game on students' motivation, academic self-efficacy and achievement levels. Students studying in an elderly care program will be included in the study. Students will be divided into 2 groups according to their branches: experimental (educational escape game) and control (question-answer).

H1. Students participating in the escape game will show significantly higher motivation in the "Motivation Scale for Teaching Materials" than students participating in the question-answer method.

H2. Students participating in the escape game will show significantly higher self-efficacy in the "Academic Self-Efficacy Scale" than students participating in the question-answer method.

H3. Students participating in the escape game will show significantly higher success in the "Achievement Test" than students participating in the question-answer method.
