Abstract
Introduction
No evidence was found in the literature for the use of the flipped classroom model
in teaching clinical practice skills in paramedics. The study aimed to determine the
effect of the flipped classroom model in teaching clinical practice skills to paramedic
program students.
Methods
The study was a single-center, randomized controlled, single-blind parallel-group
study. The research was carried out with a university’s first-year paramedic program
students in the 2021 to 2022 academic year. The students were divided into groups
by stratified sampling (intervention group = 21, control group = 21). Five clinical
skills practices at various times were explained to the intervention group with the
flipped classroom model and to the control group with the traditional lecture method.
The research data were collected with the Introductory Characteristics Information
Form, Checklists, Time Tracking Form, and Students’ Questionnaire for Evaluating the
flipped classroom model.
Results
Although the students in the intervention group received a higher total score from
all 5 clinical practice skills than the students in the control group, this difference
was not statistically significant (P > .05). However, although the time allocated for applications in the intervention
group was 40 to 75 minutes longer than in the control group, most students stated
that this model successfully taught skills and theory, increased their motivation
during the application, and reduced application and exam anxiety.
Discussion
The flipped classroom model can be used as an alternative method to the traditional
system in teaching clinical practice skills. This innovative educational approach
can be recommended as a student-centered method in clinical skills teaching.
