| description | Objective: To compare the effect of flipped classroom versus traditional classroom on students' academic performance in teaching human anatomy. To assess the perceptions of medical students about flipped classroom and traditional classroom strategies.
Study Design: The present study followed quasi-experimental design, including pretest, posttest, and a questionnaire.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in the Department of Anatomy, at Wah Medical College, Pakistan from April 10 , 2023, to June 9 , 2023.
Materials and Methods: A total of 143 second year MBBS students were randomly divided into two groups;Group I (n=72) and Group II (n=71). Group I (Experimental group) was exposed to the flipped classroom while Group II (Control group) was taught through the traditional classroom. A Pretest and a posttest were taken at the start and end of the experiment. Perceptions of students regarding flipped classroom and traditional classroom strategies were recorded through a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire. The data was analyzed by SPSS version 23. The p value 0.05 was significant.
Results: The mean pretest score was not statistically significant between groups I and II (p>0.05). By the end of the study, the mean posttest score of each group significantly raised as compared to its pretest score (p<0.001). However, Group I achieved a significantly higher posttest score than Group II (p<0.05). Students perceived flipped classroom as more beneficial than traditional classroom (p=0.001) as it enhanced their understanding,
memorization, integration, and application of subject knowledge. Moreover, flipped classrooms proved to be more valuable in engaging students and improving their ability to participate in problem-solving activities.
Conclusion: Flipped Classroom has proven to be a more effective strategy in teaching human anatomy to medical students compared to traditional classroom method. |
