The effect of Havuruta Teaching Method on Communication Competency, Self-Directed Learning Ability on Problem-Solving Ability

This study is a one-group pretest-posttest design aimed to confirm factors influencing problem-solving ability and the effects of the Havruta teaching-learning method on nursing college and its correlation to Communication Competency (CC), Self-Directed Learning Ability (SDLA), and Problem-Solving Ability (PSA) of nursing college students.Data were collected before and after the Havruta teaching-learning method.Collected data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 24.0, including descriptive statistics, paired t-test, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and Multiple regression.The mean score in CC, SDLA, and PSA increased to a statistically significant level after the Havruta teaching-learning method.Problem-solving ability had statistically significant positive correlations with communication competency and self-directed learning ability.Communication competency had statistically significant positive correlations with self-directed learning ability.It was found that their problem-solving ability was affected by communication competency and self-directed learning ability at statistically significant levels.To help nursing college students or future nurses improve their problem-solving ability, attention must be paid to improving their communication competency and self-directed learning ability using the Havruta teaching-learning method.As a result, the analysis of this study confirms that the Havruta teaching-learning method effectively improves communication competency, self-directed learning ability, and problem-solving abilities in nursing students.
