During the last years, nursing in Israel is taking major steps towards the future acknowledgement of nursing clinical specialty. This process creates many changes in nursing training programs. The changes include aspiration for academic, acceptance of legal authority, changes in the curriculum and promotion of self - learning skills. As known, acquiring nursing specialty is a continuing process that requires ongoing study and the purchase of relevant and updated knowledge, self-awareness for self-education and professional development. Based on this concept, the new curriculum of the continuance nursing training program defines the demand of self-educating as part of the task that is required in the training course. There are a variety of methods that give the student new tools for self-education. One of them is the Task Assignment method. This new method implicates the principals of self-education with joint guidance of written assignments and supervised instruction. This method is implicated as part of the study curriculum in the training courses of the nursing management. This project combines rephrasing and improvement of this training method in order to improve the results accepted at the end of the training process. The project was planned and activated at the "Shinbrun" Academic Nursing School at the Tel Aviv Medical Center. The project includes three courses of post nursing studies in the area of pediatric and neonatal intensive care, general intensive care and emergency medicine. Each student was taught three subjects as a part of the curriculum in the method of self-study and task assignment The results of the project emphasize the importance of combining self-study and efficiency of the outcome that was received at the end of the study process. The results also show the need for further developing and review of the study method in favor of future students.
