Teaching Medical Ethics During Covid-19 Pandemic: An Experience Using Flipped Classroom and Game-Based Learning Running head: Online Flipped classroom and Kahoot

Abstract

Abstract:
 Introduction/Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected medical training worldwide. Many teaching and learning activities were replaced with online learning. The use of flipped classroom and game-based learning in teaching have been in trend recently.
 Aim & Objectives: The objective of this report is to describe the experience of using flipped classroom in combination with game-based learning and to study the students’ feedback on their use.
 Methods/Study Design: Flipped classroom combined with scenario-based Kahoot! quiz during the synchronised online teaching of medical ethics was tested on second year medical students.
 Results/Findings: Based on their objective scoring and subjective feedback, almost all students agreed that the combination of flipped classroom and scenario-based Kahoot! quiz helped them understand the topics and achieve the learning outcomes. However, almost half of them were unsure whether they preferred the new methods over the traditional face-to-face lecture. Among the main problem for online learning was poor internet connection which interrupted their concentration and participation in class.
 Discussion & Conclusion: As a conclusion, medical students were still sceptical whether flipped classroom and game-based learning were their preferred methods over the traditional face-to-face lecture. However, these combined methods were feasible to do during the pandemic and received good feedback from students. The main concern is the internet connection that may interrupt the running of the class.
