The flipped classroom model for ophthalmology education is effective, with medical students showing comparable knowledge gains to traditional methods. This innovative approach uses less time and is well-received by students.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Ophthalmology
  • Pedagogy

Background:

  • Traditional medical lectures are time-intensive.
  • Ophthalmology education requires efficient and engaging teaching methods for preclinical students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the creation and effectiveness of a flipped classroom ophthalmology course.
  • To assess preclinical medical student perceptions and knowledge acquisition using this novel approach.

Main Methods:

  • An observational study involving 401 second-year medical students.
  • A 1-week flipped ophthalmology course utilizing short videos, self-assessment quizzes, and case-based discussions.
  • Comparison of pre- and post-course evaluations and final exam scores with traditional didactic methods.

Main Results:

  • Students reported positive perceptions, with 75.3% enjoying the flipped classroom and 74.6% interested in its future use.
  • Flipped classroom videos were preferred over live lectures (61.2%), and supplementary activities were highly rated.
  • Final exam scores in the flipped group (92.1%) were comparable to the traditional group (91.7%), with no statistically significant difference (p=0.34).

Conclusions:

  • The flipped classroom approach is a successful and well-received method for preclinical ophthalmology education.
  • This model achieved comparable knowledge gains in 35% less instructional time compared to traditional methods.
  • The flipped classroom has potential for broader application in medical schools and international medical education.
