Introduction and aim: Scenario-based instruction is a type of teaching which implies that the knowledge and skills to be gained are presented implicitly in a chain of events, and those who live these events learn them. In the development of nursing education, it is very important to teach scenario and instruction, to learn academician nurses and to write script writing skills. This research was carried out to increase the awareness of academician nurses about scenario and teaching, to determine the skills of writing a script, and to develop skills in writing scripts. Method: The data of the study, which was conducted as a descriptive and infrastructure project, was collected between October 2015 and October 2017. 84 academic staff accepted to participate in the study were included in the study. “Introductory Information Form” and “Scenario Writing Skills Development Course Evaluation Form” was used to collect the research data.

After the training given in the course, the instructors were asked to complete the form including their satisfaction with the training and their opinions about the training and feedback was received. Results: The mean age of nurse educators who participated in the study was 37.17 ± 10.09. Of the nurse trainers, 31% were in the 25-29 age group, 96.4% were women, 64.3% were married, 65% were doctorate graduates, 42.9% were research assistants, and 41.7% were work in the institution at 1 to 5 years. 89.3% of the trainers did not receive training on script writing, 10.7% of them received training and 66.7% of the trainees did not use the scenarios while training. 81% of nursing educators participating in the training would like to repeat the training.
