Flipped classroom in a therapeutic modality course: students’ perspective

Abstract

The use of flipped classrooms has gained momentum and involves the instructor replacing the passive reception of material found in common lectures, so class time may be used for hands-on practical application, discussion, or assignments. The purpose of this paper is to explore students’ perceptions of a flipped therapeutic modality course. Focus group interviews were conducted with sixteen participants (14 female, 2 male) who completed a therapeutic modality course. Data were collected through 4 focus group interviews, which were digitally recorded and transcribed. Data were analyzed to uncover dominant themes—first by organizing the data, then summarizing data into codes, and finally interpreting. Credibility was secured through peer review, member checks, and investigator triangulation. The analysis resulted in three common themes: the flipped classroom (1) was perceived as valuable by students, (2) led to active participation in class, and (3) helped students feel better prepared for the class. Athletic training students, particularly in a flipped therapeutic modality course, valued this pedagogical approach.

Analysis of Flipped Classroom Methodology in Students: A Systematic Review

“…From overall eric search 1058 articles were recorded, however, when peer review was activated for greater accuracy, this figure was reduced to 946 results. In that sense, the analysis of the scientific production on the methodology of flipped classroom in students considering 2017 to 2020 period, according Scopus database it was found that: Bates & Ludwig [8] propose flipped classroom favors a more active class environment since it allows students to arrive more prepared and familiar with subject of study before starting the class. For his part, Wang [9] points out secondary school teachers in Hong Kong perceived various inhibiting factors in implementing flipped classroom teaching, with internal barriers or challenges being attitude, beliefs and confidence and external time, resources and support.…”

“…Thus, Bordes et al [2] referred the methodology of flipped classroom contributes to modernize educational activities in a comprehensive way. Bates & Ludwig [8] concluded flipped classroom favors a more active class environment since it allows students to arrive more prepared and familiar with subject of study before starting class.…”

The Development of Flipped Learning Model Based on MyBrilian to Support Planned Online Learning

“…Most of them have pleasant and rewarding experience with flipped learning. Among others are in the implementation of flipped learning in an athlete school, to carry out therapeutic modality courses, used a combination of lecture strategies and active learning with scenarios, group discussions or think pair shares, based on materials provided by teachers (Bates & Ludwig, 2020). A total of 16 students were involved in this Flipped Learning class, and they stated that flipped learning was valuable because it helped students to be more active and ready in their class.…”

Evaluación de una experiencia de flipped classroom

“…Los métodos de enseñanza que promueven el aprendizaje activo responden a este tipo de necesidades, en la medida en que permiten alcanzar un «aprendizaje profundo», en el que la comprensión se desarrolla a través de procesos activos y constructivos (Ritchhart et al, 2011), pasando de un paradigma centrado en la enseñanza a un paradigma centrado en el estudiante. La flipped classroom, o clase invertida, es una metodología activa que cambia el modelo tradicional, de tal forma que el estudiante prepara las clases en casa a través del visionado de vídeos, o realizando tareas previas recomendadas por el docente, y en el aula desarrolla actividades de aprendizaje activo (Bates y Ludwig, 2020;Marqués Andrés, 2016;Zainuddin et al, 2019). De esta forma, las sesiones en el aula pueden ser aprovechadas para proponer actividades que promuevan un aprendizaje más consciente, así como la interacción entre estudiantado y profesorado.…”
