The flipped classroom model using Poll Everywhere is an effective teaching tool for pharmacy students. This interactive approach enhances learning and cognitive development in complementary medicine modules.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Education
- Pedagogical Innovations
- Educational Technology
Background:
- Flipped classroom (FC) is a pedagogical model that shifts didactic lectures online to promote student engagement.
- Audience response systems (ARS) like Poll Everywhere can enhance interactivity in FC environments.
- Integrating technology in pharmacy education is crucial for modern teaching-learning strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess undergraduate pharmacy students' perceptions of FC activities utilizing Poll Everywhere.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of FC with Poll Everywhere as a teaching tool for a complementary medicine module.
- To understand how pharmacy students learn and develop cognitive functions through FC.
Main Methods:
- A nonrandomized, interrupted time series study involving 112 Bachelor of Pharmacy students.
- FC sessions incorporated a quiz with multiple-choice questions on popular herbal remedies, delivered via audio-visual presentations.
- Poll Everywhere was used for real-time audience response capture, followed by feedback collection and debriefing.
Main Results:
- The feedback questionnaire demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.912), indicating FC effectiveness.
- Lower quiz achievers were at higher risk of providing negative feedback compared to high achievers (P=0.040).
- Negative feedback correlated with lower end-of-semester exam performance (P=0.013), with multivariate analysis showing statistical significance.
Conclusions:
- Flipped classroom activities integrated with Poll Everywhere are perceived positively by pharmacy students.
- This pedagogical approach is an effective method for delivering complementary medicine content in undergraduate pharmacy programs.
- The study highlights the impact of FC on student learning and cognitive development in specialized modules.
