Flipped classroom vs team learning: which teaches neck therapy better?
NCT ID NCT06397495
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compared two teaching models—flipped learning and team-based learning—for teaching cervical manual therapy to 66 physiotherapy students. The flipped group learned theory at home via video and practiced in class, while the team-based group learned entirely in class. Researchers measured motivation, skill performance, and knowledge retention to see which method works better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Flipped learning model (educational intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that flipped learning improves practical skill teaching in physiotherapy, leading to better training methods.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center educational study with 66 students, so results may not apply broadly. It tests teaching methods, not a medical treatment.
