This document discusses project methods and role-playing in nursing education. It outlines the qualities and characteristics of effective project methods, including being spontaneous, having a definite goal and purpose, and being student-directed. The role of the teacher is to prepare learning situations and provide information resources. Project methods motivate students and allow them to learn independently. Role-playing aims to illustrate interpersonal problems and develop communication skills. The role-playing process involves selecting roles, setting the stage, and debriefing after. Role-playing can help students practice skills without stress but is time-consuming. The document provides guidelines for organizing role-plays and assigns students the task of outlining the importance of these techniques.
