About

This research is a randomized controlled experimental study planned to examine the effect of the flipped classroom model in teaching clinical practice skills. The research was carried out on first year students of the First and Emergency Aid Program at a state university in Turkey. The data were collected for one year, in the fall and spring terms. The universe of the research consisted of 46 students enrolled in the 2021-2022 Academic Year First and Emergency Aid Program and studying in the first year. In the study, stratified randomization method was used since it was thought that random selection could affect the study statistically in assigning students to groups. The data of the study were collected using the "Descriptive Characteristics Information Form", which includes the introductory information of the students, and the "Check List", which includes the clinical practice skill steps. While the flipped classroom model was used in teaching clinical practice skills of students in the experimental group, standard lectures were used in the control group.

experimental group

Experimental group

Description:

The flipped classroom model was used in teaching the clinical practice skills of the students in the experimental group. First of all, videos for clinical applications were prepared by the researchers. These prepared videos were shared with the students in the experimental group one week before the lesson day of each application for preliminary study and the students were asked to work on these videos. On the day of the lesson, group work, question-answer and discussion activities were held with the students in the classroom environment. At the end of the lesson, the students were asked to do the applications on the simulation models of the application and the checklists were filled.

Treatment:

Behavioral: The flipped classroom model was used to teach students' clinical practice skills.

control group

Active Comparator group

Description:

To the students in the control group, the application was explained by the researcher (instructor conducting the course) using presentation and demonstration methods. Each application was made on different days. The prepared checklists were filled by the other researcher. While the students were doing the applications, one of the researchers observed the application and marked only the skill level in the checklists ("applied", "incompletely applied" and "did not apply") without making any comments or directions.

Treatment:

Behavioral: control group
