The education program was prepared with appropriate movie, short film, animation and literature by researches in March 2011. The data was collected with a knowledge level form, was evaluated by two times (after the education and one week later). The data was evaluated mean and Wilcoxon. RESULTS: The mean age of the students was found 21. 57% of the students stated that their academic level was moderate. 50% of the control group evaluated the verbal presentation was moderate. 53% of the experimental group evaluated the verbal presentation was good. There is a significantly higher level between the first evaluation and last evaluation in the verbal presentation (p<0.01). There is a significantly higher level between the first evaluation and last evaluation in the video/group discussion (p<0.01).
