Sumario:AIMS: The present study was conducted to apply and examine case‐based learning (CBL) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education concept in the training of nursing student's clinical thinking. DESIGN: A randomized experimental design with non‐equivalent group pretest–posttest. METHODS: Participants were requested to participant in either of the two programmes: traditional education programme as a control group or CBL combined with STEM education concept (the STEM group). Questionnaires of critical thinking, self‐directed learning, self‐efficacy were administered before and after the experiment. RESULTS: Differences between the STEM group and control group were observed in critical thinking, self‐directed learning, self‐efficacy and career choice over one semester. Accordingly, CBL combined with STEM education concept enhanced the nursing student's clinical thinking.
