Students in the jigsaw group will be divided into 5 groups of six. Then, the topic content will be divided into five outlines (diabetes classification/symptoms and signs, diabetes treatment (nutrition and exercise), diabetes treatment (insulin and oral antidiabetics), acute and chronic complications of diabetes, patient education in diabetes), and each member of each jigsaw group will be assigned to a specific outline. Students will be asked to study all the material by looking more closely at the given topic. Then, all students assigned to the same outline in the 5 jigsaw groups will be gathered in a group called the "expert group." In this expert group, each student will be asked to share and discuss the information they have gained regarding the specific outline with the other students.

The researcher will provide the students with 5 examples, and five case studies will be conducted with the students in the case-based learning group (cases will include information such as the patient's detailed history, medical diagnosis, a brief summary of the disease, and the medications the patient is using). The case studies used will contain the basic details of diabetes. Necessary background information will be provided, and discussion questions will be determined.
