Effectiveness of the flipped classroom instructional method in physiology teaching among diversified student group—A study from Guyana

Abstract

Background: The flipped classroom teaching method is more active learning, and more student-centered, it is already gaining popularity across the globe in health science teaching. Available pieces of evidence are still contradictory. Few studies found that the flipped classroom teaching method is effective compared to traditional lectures in promoting student learning in basic medical science. On the contrary, few studies reported that there was no significant difference found when compared with the traditional teaching method. The conflicting results are indicating that more in-depth research is warranted to find the effectiveness of flipped classroom instructional methods. No study was published on the effectiveness of the flipped classroom teaching method among diversified student groups also. The study aims to find the effectiveness of a flipped classroom, among diversified student group.
