Background of the Study
Collaborative learning, a teaching approach where students work together to solve problems, share knowledge, and discuss concepts, has gained prominence in educational settings as an effective strategy to enhance student engagement and academic achievement. In nursing education, collaborative learning offers opportunities for students to learn from one another, develop critical thinking skills, and improve teamwork—all of which are essential in the healthcare environment (Kwaku et al., 2024). Studies have shown that nursing students who engage in collaborative learning tend to have better academic outcomes, increased motivation, and greater confidence in their abilities (Chukwu et al., 2023).
Kogi State College of Nursing has integrated collaborative learning strategies into its nursing curriculum in an attempt to foster an environment that promotes active participation and knowledge exchange among students. This approach aims to develop not only academic skills but also interpersonal and communication abilities, which are critical in clinical settings. The impact of this teaching method on nursing students' engagement and academic achievement is not well-documented, especially within the context of Kogi State. This study seeks to investigate how collaborative learning influences nursing students’ academic performance and engagement at Kogi State College of Nursing, with a view to determining its effectiveness as a teaching method.
