Abstract
Abstract : Introduction: Higher education including medical education has been shifting towards more active and student-centric teaching strategies. Flipped class room method gives the student scope to learn the course content at home and utilise the class time in more interactive sessions. Methodology: A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted among 163 1st year MBBS students of Andhra Medical College to determine the medical students’ perceptions of flipped classroom as a teaching tool. Students were exposed to flipped classroom method of teaching on two different occasions prior to the survey. A structured questionnaire on students’ perception on flipped classroom technology was used. Responses were collected using a 5 point Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Scoring was given from 0 to 4. Data was analysed using Microsoft excel. Results: Majority of the students (53.98% and 25.76%) agreed that the flipped classroom is more engaging than traditional classroom. Videos and other online study material were found to be interesting by most of the students (46.62% agree and 30.67% strongly agree). There was a mixed response when asked about whether traditional teacher led lesson is more preferable as compared to a lesson video, as 24.53% disagreed, 28.22% were neutral and 27.6% agreed to it. Conclusions: The perception of the MBBS students is that flipped class room is a good teaching learning method. The student-centric approach and use of technology helps add value to student learning
