"Nursing students' experiences with concept cartoons as an active learning strategy for developing conceptual understanding in anatomy and physiology: A mixed-method study".

Aim: The aim of this study was to explore bachelor-level nursing students' experiences with concept cartoons as an active learning strategy and formative assessment to develop conceptual understanding in anatomy and physiology (A&P).

Background: Many first-year nursing students struggle to understand central concepts in A&P. Concept cartoons-cartoon characters proposing scientifically acceptable statements and misconceptions combined with an illustration-might facilitate active learning in lectures, overcome misconceptions and promote deep learning.
