Abstract

Background: Teaching research to undergraduate nursing students is a challenging experience for nurse educators as it is viewed as complex and boring by students.

Method: A number of engaging learning activities were created to meet the challenges of teaching research to millennial students and these were designed around student characteristics.

Results: The teaching and learning strategies were effective in engaging students in understanding research. The activities were fun, exciting and experiential students took ownership of their learning.

Conclusion: It is important to consider student characteristics and learning styles as well as their past experiences when designing teaching and learning activities.
