Night owls vs. early birds: can flipped classrooms boost grades?
NCT ID NCT07391865
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a person's natural sleep-wake pattern (chronotype) affects their motivation and grades when taught using a flipped classroom approach. 111 nursing students participated, with some learning through online videos before class. Researchers measured motivation, chronotype, and exam scores to see if matching teaching style to body clock helps.
