Abstract
Objective: The flipped classroom was developed in an effort to more effectively utilize the available teaching-learning time and to better serve the needs of students by encouraging active participation. It evokes students to access study material that can be utilized by them as and when the need arises. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of flipped classroom activities as a teaching-learning strategy. Methods: The study was conducted among dental undergraduate students of Anatomy at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College Aligarh after taking informed consent. The students were divided into 2 groups of 17 students each during the lecture. Both groups were provided a related short video and ppt of the topic, one before the lecture and the other after the lecture. Pre-test and post-test were given to both groups. The students and teachers were then asked to provide feedback regarding this approach and the continuation of it for future classes. Results: Sixty-seven percent of students strongly agreed that flipped classes are more engaging than traditional classes. Seventy-one percent strongly agreed that more such classes should be conducted in the future. The mean ± standard deviation of the pre-test was 3.68 ± 1.43 and the post-test was 6.43±1.02. This difference was found to be statistically significant (t=12.67 and p=0.00). Conclusion: The students’ and teachers’ feedback were largely positive and suggested for the continuation of these classes in the future also.
