Background
Research suggests flipped learning may improve student motivation to learn.
Purpose
This study examined motivation and learning strategies among prelicensure BSN students in a course taught using the flipped learning model. The hypothesis was that flipped learning may improve motivation and learning strategies of students.
Methods
A descriptive, comparative design examined motivation and learning strategies used by students in a flipped learning course. The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire and a demographic survey were administered to 25 BSN students at a Midwestern university.
Results
Substantial decreases were found from pretest to posttest mean scores for the task value, control of learning beliefs, and help seeking subscales.
Conclusion
The results did not support the hypothesis that flipped learning would improve motivation and learning strategies. Further research in larger diverse samples of students in a flipped learning course is recommended.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
