USE OF THE FLIPPED EDUCATION MODEL IN CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM EXAMINATION Ters-Yüz Eğitim Modelinin Kardiyovasküler Sistem Muayenesinde Kullanımı

ABSTRACTObjective: The flipped classroom approach is based on shared responsibility for learning by students andteachers, empowering students to take an active role in the learning process. While there have been positiveoutcomes in the use of this model in nursing theoretical and practical courses, its active implementationwithin the educational system is limited. This study was planned to evaluate the effectiveness of the flippededucation model in nursing students, specifically in the teaching of the "Cardiovascular System Examination"topic within the Health Assessment course. It is a comparative research study.Material and Methods: In the comparative research design applied, 25 students taking the course wererandomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The flipped education model was applied toone group, integrating it into both theoretical and laboratory applications. Non-parametric tests were usedfor data analysis.Results: It was observed that the theoretical and practical scores of the flipped education group were higherthan those of the in-class group, but the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). The mean theoreticalscore in the in-class group was 74 ± 8.50, and the practical score was 73 ± 9.20, while in the flippededucation group, the mean theoretical score was 77 ± 13.36, and the practical score was 74 ± 20.46.Conclusion: The study concluded that the flipped education model is suitable for use in both theoretical andpractical medical courses.
