The Effect of the Flipped Classroom Model on Teaching Clinical Practice Skills

This research is a randomized controlled experimental study planned to examine the effect of the flipped classroom model in teaching clinical practice skills. The research was carried out on first year students of the First and Emergency Aid Program at a state university in Turkey. The data were collected for one year, in the fall and spring terms. The universe of the research consisted of 46 students enrolled in the 2021-2022 Academic Year First and Emergency Aid Program and studying in the first year. In the study, stratified randomization method was used since it was thought that random selection could affect the study statistically in assigning students to groups. The data of the study were collected using the "Descriptive Characteristics Information Form", which includes the introductory information of the students, and the "Check List", which includes the clinical practice skill steps. While the flipped classroom model was used in teaching clinical practice skills of students in the experimental group, standard lectures were used in the control group.
