Abstract

Background: Rapid changes in communities necessitate the use of new-teaching methods in universities. Objectives: This study aimed to determine and compare the effects of traditional lecture and flipped classroom (FC) on learning, learning retention, and satisfaction among operating room students. Methods: This two-group quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2018-2019 in the Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran. Forty-four operating room students who had enrolled in anesthesiology course were selected and randomly allocated to a lecture and a FC group. Data were collected using a researcher-made satisfaction questionnaire and two researcher-made knowledge examinations. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square, independent-samples t, and paired-samples t-tests. Results: The mean scores of knowledge in the first and the second examinations in the FC group (i.e. 18.85 ± 0.83 and 17.47 ± 1.42, respectively) were significantly greater than the corresponding mean scores in the lecture group (i.e., 16.21 ± 1.99 and 12.90 ± 2.64, respectively) (P < 0.05). Moreover, the mean score of satisfaction in the FC group was significantly higher than the lecture group (169.44 ± 17.82 vs. 115.56 ± 17.57;P < 0.05). Conclusion: FC is more effective than traditional lecture in promoting students' satisfaction and short- A nd long-term learning. © 2020 Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications. All rights reserved.
