Can flipping the nursing classroom boost exam scores and engagement?
NCT ID NCT07806305
First seen Sep 08, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a flipped classroom model, where students review materials before class and engage in group discussions during class, improves academic performance and interest in an infectious disease nursing course. Researchers compare exam scores and feedback from nursing students taught with this method against those from a previous year who received traditional lectures. The goal is to see if this active learning approach helps students better integrate knowledge and stay engaged.
