          Abstract

          This study evaluated if the online inverted classes (IC) model maintained high students’ learning engagement and performance on the laboratory component of Food Microbiology during an academic year dominated by COVID-19-lockdown, compared to pre-pandemic years. Porto University students from 2 courses (n = 36-Pharmaceutical Sciences; n = 59-Nutrition Sciences) were engaged. A high rate of students answered they prefer the IC rather than lecture-only style delivery mode and were involved in the IC learning process (prepared classes asynchronously; participated in case-studies resolution during synchronous classes). Very good laboratory final performances were maintained as in pre-pandemic years. Variable perceptions about work volume and adaptation to face-to-face laboratory classes were observed among both groups, potentially related to different course organization and defined learning outcomes/competences.

          Flipped classroom improves student learning in health professions education: a meta-analysis

          Background The use of flipped classroom approach has become increasingly popular in health professions education. However, no meta-analysis has been published that specifically examines the effect of flipped classroom versus traditional classroom on student learning. This study examined the findings of comparative articles through a meta-analysis in order to summarize the overall effects of teaching with the flipped classroom approach. We focused specifically on a set of flipped classroom studies in which pre-recorded videos were provided before face-to-face class meetings. These comparative articles focused on health care professionals including medical students, residents, doctors, nurses, or learners in other health care professions and disciplines (e.g., dental, pharmacy, environmental or occupational health). Method Using predefined study eligibility criteria, seven electronic databases were searched in mid-April 2017 for relevant articles. Methodological quality was graded using the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument (MERSQI). Effect sizes, heterogeneity estimates, analysis of possible moderators, and publication bias were computed using the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software. Results A meta-analysis of 28 eligible comparative studies (between-subject design) showed an overall significant effect in favor of flipped classrooms over traditional classrooms for health professions education (standardized mean difference, SMD = 0.33, 95% confidence interval, CI = 0.21–0.46, p < 0.001), with no evidence of publication bias. In addition, the flipped classroom approach was more effective when instructors used quizzes at the start of each in-class session. More respondents reported they preferred flipped to traditional classrooms. Conclusions Current evidence suggests that the flipped classroom approach in health professions education yields a significant improvement in student learning compared with traditional teaching methods.

            A systematic review of the effectiveness of flipped classrooms in medical education.

            There are inconsistent claims made about the effectiveness of the flipped classroom (FC) in medical education; however, the quality of the empirical evidence used to back up these claims is not evident. The aims of this review are to examine the scope and quality of studies on the FC teaching approach in medical education and to assess the effects of FCs on medical learning.

              A Review of Flipped Classroom and Cooperative Learning Method Within the Context of Vygotsky Theory

              In the flipped classroom method, which is accepted as one of the blended learning approaches, the traditional teaching process takes place outside of the classroom through videos. Activities, projects, and homework related to upper-level cognitive field steps are carried out during classroom time. Research and interest in the flipped classroom are increasing steadily. Employing a cooperative learning method is suggested for using class time in the flipped classroom method. However, there has not been sufficient research on the implemented results of those suggestions. Moreover, there is no clear roadmap on how to incorporate cooperative learning methods into the flipped classroom. This research reviews theoretical infrastructures of flipped classroom and cooperative learning methods according to the Vygotsky theory and makes various suggestions for implementation and implementers.
