Collaborative learning is an innovative learning approach that serves the purposes of nursing education. The collaborative learning environment, which allows active involvement in the learning process, enhances learning by providing learners with greater control over their learning and enhances the performance of psychomotor skills and permanence of cognitive information in the learning process. When the results of the studies were examined, it was found that the collaborative learning method increased students' psychomotor skill competence levels, critical thinking and clinical judgment skills, improves the communication skills positively and decrease the level of anxiety they experience during the learning process. In the study, it is aimed to evaluate the effect of cooperative standardized patient simulation in nursing education on knowledge, psychomotor skill and anxiety levels of students.

In the research, sample is determined by randomized method and 48 students (24 experimental groups; 24 control group) will compose of sample group. The research data prepared by the researchers will be collected using the personal information form which containing the descriptive characteristics of the students, knowledge evaluation form, Bondy psychomotor skill evaluation scale and spielberger state anxiety scale. Skill evaluation of students' practices will be observed by researchers. The analysis of the data will be carried out using descriptive statistics, paired samples t test, independent simple T test, Mann Whitney U test and the results and recommendations will be shared.
