Background:
The primary objective of medical universities is to foster the development of competent students. This study aimed to investigate the impact of an online flipped classroom (OFC) combined with case-based learning (CBL) in small groups on improving the knowledge of obstetric anesthesia among undergraduate anesthesia students.
Material And Methods:
This quasi-experimental study employed a pre-test, post-test design and was conducted in 2024 in Iran. It involved 48 fifth- and seventh-semester undergraduate anesthesia students recruited using a convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to intervention and control groups based on their GPA and academic year. The intervention group received obstetric anesthesia education using an OFC combined with CBL in small groups. The control group received the same content through conventional lecture-based instruction. Data were collected using a researcher-developed questionnaire on obstetric anesthesia knowledge. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, employing descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, and covariance analysis.
Results:
Compared to pre-test scores, there was a significant increase in the post-test scores in both the intervention and control groups (P < 0.001). However, the mean post-test score of the intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.001). In addition, comparing post-test scores using ANCOVA demonstrated significant improvements in the intervention group (P < 0.001).
Conclusion:
This study demonstrated that an OFC combined with CBL in small groups has a positive impact on improving obstetric anesthesia knowledge among undergraduate anesthesia students and can be used as a complement to traditional teaching methods.

Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...
