    AbstractThe purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of the teaching method used with cognitive learning and learning retention outcomes of nurses when instructed in Imogene King's Theory of Goal Attainment. This study's quantitative, quasi-experimental design examined relationships and/or differences between variables or groups. Cognitive learning and learning retention outcomes were measured by pre-, post- and 1-week posttests. Statistically significant learning took place in all three methods. However, no statistically significant difference was found between teaching method used and cognitive learning or retention. The information gained from this study may provide a stepping stone for enhanced education in the orientation phase of employment, and will provide the impetus for further study.
